It's the second time we visited Athens and it's great, lovely city.
Regarding this apartment where we stayed for 4 nights.
PROS:
- Beautiful view
- Big apartment, spacious
- Big terrace overlooking the Acropolis
CONS:
- No hairdryer
- The terrace has nothing on it except for 2 broken chairs, 1 broken bench and 1 small table; the terrace is pretty useless because you don't have where to sit comfortably
- The bed was broken, we had to fix it 2 or 3 times before we could sleep on it
- We found 4-5 towels that were filthy and smelled like they were never washed
- The whole apartment was filthy, the bathroom had a lot of dust and hair on the ground, the kitchen had many small dead bugs, the windows looked terrible and really dirty
- The neighborhood is full of abandoned houses, homeless people
- The apartment gets really hot so you have to sleep with the windows open
- The bedroom window is broken and wont shut/open
- If you sleep with the window open there is a lot of noise from the street
- The communication with the host was terrible, before arriving we had to call her because she did not respond to the message on airbnb; before leaving she said nothing about where to leave the key unless we asked her first; this is the only time we spoke, she said nothing else during our stay
The price we paid was pretty high for the services and how the place looked. The only good thing is the view.
In conclusion: The apartment was really dirty and high priced for only a view (there are other places to stay with a view).
