Forget the place itself, if I could give this incredible woman 10 stars for her outstanding hospitality I would. We have used Airbnb quite a bit in the past few years and almost every single one of our experiences has been excellent- but this one was next level.
From the begininning, Nikoletta was so kind and welcoming. She runs a store downstairs from the space with her husband and was available literally almost 24/7 when we had questions (even once after midnight when we locked ourselves out). Both her and her husband speak very good English and communication was not an issue at all. She had amazing recommendations on local restaurants and things to do, and would immediately call someone for us if she couldn’t answer our question herself. The space itself was extremely clean and well taken care of, with hot water, Wi-Fi, and in a central location close to supermarkets/restaurants/nightlife.
What really made this experience unforgettable was the lengths Nikoletta went to in order to help us when our ferry heading back to Athens was cancelled due to weather. We were very stressed out about the situation as it meant we would miss a subsequent flight and throw off the rest of our trip. Nikoletta was so reassuring about the situation while simultaneously immediately using her local connections to help us out. She had her friend who works at the travel agency put tickets on hold for us so we could still reach Athens via an alternate route. That same morning she even came upstairs to wake us up and make sure we got ready in time to catch the ferry.
Honestly I could go on and on but basically she truly treated us like her own family from the moment we arrived and we will never forget her hospitality that was hands down the best we have ever experienced. And not just in Airbnbs, it was better than you can hope to experience even at a 5 star hotel. If this review hasn’t convinced you to book this place I don’t know what will- do yourself a favor and stay with Nikoletta!
PS- bonus: as another reviewer mentioned, there is a small kitten that Nikoletta takes care of that is very very friendly, loves people and was so much fun to play with during our stay. We miss both her and Nikoletta already!
