The Good: Incredibly convenient location. The apartment is right next to a station, and is walking distance from lots of tourists sights such as museums and the Acropolis. It's hard to beat that. In addition, his family's restaurant is on the floor right below the same apartment complex, so it was easy to find and their food was cheap and absolutely delicous!
The so-so: It was nice of him that he tried to fix the toilet cover and the tap on the kitchen after we got there, but it would ne nicer if he could have done it before we checked-in. We arrived to Athens early in the morning and were looking forward to napping before we went exploring. Instead the host left a repairman in our place to finish doing that and left to do his own thing. So we ended up being the ones babysitting the repairman on our own vacation. We recognize sometimes these things happen, it was just off-putting. Additionally, the basic amenities were provided and the place was clean. Not the most comfy of beds or pillows, but does get the job done.
The bad: Communication leading up to the check-in was simple put...terrible. This was our first time in Greece, so we chose this host specifically for the rave reviews about the host being pleasant and helpful. However, we instead were ignored on the days leading up to the check-in and even the day of checking in. We got stuck in limbo unsure if we could drop our bags off early or not, and didn't know the best way to get to the area. Very simple questions, which most hosts usually have no issues providing answers to.
Overall, the stay was just okay. Actually checking in was a mess, and the first couple hours after were a bit of a headache, but after we settled in it was nice enough.
