I had the pleasure of staying at Vasilis' place on Monday, May 7th.
This was my first Airbnb experience.
Leading up to my stay: Vasilis communication was amazing. I highly suggest you read the GUIDEBOOK. It has everything you need to the detail. I just used that to get around the city.
When I got there: We were greeted by his father Marko. Very sweet man. I was able to talk to Vasilis via video chat and got the lay of the property. It was what I saw online & more. It was amazing!!!! Prior to my arrival I was in London. I stayed at the Hilton. Let's just say Vasilis apartment is way better than the Hilton in London. I truly appreciated the HOT WATER!
After my stay: Vasilis still was in communication while i toured the other islands. I even asked to come back for my return flight back to the states, but some luck traveler booked it.
Thoughts & suggestions: FIRST, stay here! Its a 5 min walk from the underground train. It is clean and very modern. You can walk to take the metro to anywhere you want. I did the metro. It was my first time in Athens, I say have your day planned out prior to coming. Go to the shopping area and see the ruins. That's really the highlight of the city. Wear sneaker. I wore sandals and it rained and I was slipping on the street. 2 days is what I suggest. But who am I .. just a world traveler.
Needless to say....STOP SEARCHING AND BOOK THIS PLACE NOW :)
All Good Things,
