Just completed a 15 day, 5 city tour of Italy and Greece; Natalia and Cristina's home was LIGHT YEARS better than any of the others (Rome, Florence, Venice, Athens, Santorini).
Positives
- Great communication from the start. Offered advice on places to go and see, arranged r/t transport to airport.
- Family of seven arrived at 10:00 PM and both Natalia and Cristina met us at the room to make sure everything was in great condition, as well as explain how everything worked in the unit.
- They provided fresh fruit, bread, milk, cereal, cheese, jams, butter, cookies and a host of other edibles. There was an espresso machine with pods and an automatic milk frothing accessory so we had our coffee fix before leaving the room every morning. And decaf for the nights!
- The unit is as spectacular as the pictures. Very modern and in excellent condition.
- Washer/Dryer combo with detergent and fabric softener. This was at the midpoint of our stay, so we were able to pack for one week, wash here, and then re-use the clean clothes for the balance of the trip.
- The location was right next to the train, tons of shopping and restaurants within a three minute walk, and a McDonald's five minutes away that fed my 10 year old daughter a couple times. She just didn't love the gyros as much as we did : )
Negatives
- None
Above and Beyond
- Through a miscommunication with my two adult sons and I, we found ourselves at dinner on Saturday evening at 8:30 PM realizing nobody grabbed either set of keys. We reached out to Cristina and she said she could meet us at the room in 45 minutes because she was on the other side of the city. We felt so bad that we were interrupting her Saturday night, but when she arrived, she apologized it took so long. Are you kidding me?!?! Totally our fault and she apologized to us...SUPER HOST EXTREME!
I would highly recommend that anyone vacationing to Athens make this their first choice for AirBNB, as you will find none better.
Thank you Natalia and Cristina for being such great hosts and making our stay in Athens so great!
