Though we were initially hesitant when we did the street view of the neighborhood, we really liked the reviews of this property so we took a chance. We are so happy we did! Emilloso, our host, was fantastic! Real epitome of hospitality! We checked in late (nearly midnight) but he made sure we had all the necessary information for our arrival. The next morning we met with him for a meet and greet and he gave us all the information we could have possibly needed for our area and answered all of our questions. We were so grateful for his help with hiring trusted transportation. He regularly checked in on us as we were coming and going, but was not intrusive or pushy. The unit was stocked with the BEST shampoo and body wash, as well as, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper and paper products. It was like a hotel room but we were treated like family in an airbnb. He had great recommendations for sight seeing and places to eat / drink. The laundry facilities were a HUGE bonus (they even provide laundry detergent) and so was the housekeeping. Beds were comfortable. Enjoyed our balcony. Apparently, most neighborhoods in Athens have quite a bit of graffiti. Where we are from this in indicative of a 'rougher' neighborhood. We did not feel that was the situation in this case. It is a small apartment complex with several artists and we truly enjoyed our stay no doubt in large part due to Emillioso and our accommodations. If you are one the fence about renting a unit here...JUST DO IT!
