Excelente departamento, muy bien ubicado, el host muy pendiente de todo, incluso nos esperó para recibirnos a las 4 am, nos dio recomendaciones, nos consigió todo lo que necesitamos (traslados, restaursnts, lugar para las valijas). La unica salvedad es que el colchon del sofá cama es muy angosto para un adolescente inclusive, se podría mejorar. Resto perfecto.

Host is wonderful - welcomed us with fresh oranges and peaches and cold water after a long flight - priceless. Located at a quiet street in a beautiful area, with Acropolis nearby. Athens is gorgeous and so much to do. Very safe area and city, wished we had time to stay longer.

Not sure how I feel.

Very mixed feeling about this property. Owner is very nice so I’d like to say I loved it. Unfortunately, as an American there are things I’m just not used to and there are a ton of requirements. In order to shower you have to flip power switch for 20 minutes or you don’t get hot water. To use over you pull a propane tank from below to turn gas on and off. You get two keys, but one must remain in a specific place or all the power other than refrigerator will turn off, so you can’t really use both. And, so on. A lot to remember for a few nights stay. Also, needs a good deep cleaning.
