Perfect. Kleio greeted us at the door at 1am and welcomed us into her home. We took off our shoes and immediately noticed the in-floor heating that she had warmed up in anticipation of our arrival.
We got a quick tour of all the essentials and TONS of extras which revealed Kleio’s ruthless attention for detail. The cupboards and fridge were stocked with food for us to eat. The bathroom was loaded with product for us to use. The dishwasher had capsules. The washer/dryer had soap. Extra towels, blankets, and pillows.
If we’d brought only the clothes on our back, we would have wanted for nothing. Kleio had replacement toothbrushes, universal power adapters, and a phone charging cord for every type of phone.
The apartment was more than clean. Everything really seemed new. If Kleio has told us that we were the first guests in her just remodeled flat, I would have believed her.
Before she left us for the night she unfolded a map of Athens. She asked us a handful of questions about our preferences (Beach or history? Wine or drinks? Vegetarian or allergies?) and then circled and noted more than a dozen spots for us to try or avoid. Kleio knows Athens as a local and many of our highlights came from her customized advice. If I had any complaints it would have been that we were overwhelmed with recommendations and we couldn’t hope to enjoy them all.
Kleio all but tucked us into bed which was cozy and warm because she had preheated the electric pad for us.
Then she left us with her mobile number to call or text in case of any need or request and the place was ours for the next three days.
Kleio made Athens everything we hoped it would be.
