The location is great! So close to the Acropolis and tourist activities. And Deni was quick to respond to my emails, which I appreciate.
The terrace view is also great. I really wanted to stay here because of that view.
On the not-so-great side, the apartment feels in need of repair, which is why the price is so good! But, just an example, there was a big piece of iron — maybe 2 feet long — coming in through the top of the shower. It had moved aside a thick plastic tile-like covering, so it appeared that people could look into the shower. (I’m not sure if any could.) I didn’t know if the metal served a purpose, so I didn’t move it. But I did rearrange the plastic to make a better cover. On the plus side, the shower water pressure and temperature were good.
Just so you know, the walls are quite thin. I could clearly hear neighbors engaged in various activities. So be warned— they can hear you just as well.
I stayed at the apartment by myself. I was surprised when a man knocked on the door at about 8pm stating he needed to come in. I was reticent to let him in, until he stated he had a replacement refrigerator. I had noticed that the refrigerator was hot and smelled bad. So I let him and another man in. They were quick and polite, but the situation made me feel uncomfortable. I emailed Deni about it since it bothered me. I respect that’s it’s her space, but I would have liked to know that a strange man would be coming over. I was tired from traveling and getting ready for bed.
Additionally, check out time was listed on site as 11am and someone was there to clean at 10:55, as I was preparing to leave. No big deal... but then I see I have an email from Deni asking when I am leaving. I didn’t get the email until after I left, which was before 11. It wasn’t a rude email, but just added to my general feeling of discomfort in the space.
The space is big, so several people or a couple could stay here very comfortably. But I wouldn’t recommend for a woman traveling alone.
