What can I possibly say about our stay in Athens? This home and Marianne were beyond amazing. Marianne was not only quick and responsive she helped coordinate a driver to pick us up with a car seat for our baby, a ride to Ravina to catch the ferry (the driver Dimitri was great and very nice) , set up a crib for our baby, made sure we knew all the best places to go, best walking routes, local hot spots, and even provided special treats like fresh olives and a cookie for our baby. Marianne was so nice I felt like we were staying with a friend and not at another Airbnb.
The home it’s self was very cool. Talk about an amazing view. The disadvantage of being jet lagged is you’re up really early. The advantage at this home is when you’re up at 5 am you can watch the sun rise over the acropolis from your bed while you drink coffee. The view from the shower is also incredible. While we didn’t take advantage of it, the pool was also lovely. The location is perfect. We walked every where from the acropolis to plaka and back. It was really nice to not be dependent on cabs to go to the main attractions.
I can only think of a few negatives. One was the ceilings are a little low but my husband is 6’7 and I’m 6’2 and we still loved it. The pillows were also a little hard. Although it’s not the most baby friendly home we felt very comfortable having our 8 month old stay there (I’m also confident he wanted to stay with Marianne longer!)
