The emergence and rapid spread of Airbnb has raised reasonable questions concerning the ways it can impact and change cities and their neighborhoods. However, in order to be able to answer these questions, we need to understand why it emerged so rapidly as a global phenomenon and in which areas its presence is more pronounced, so, consequently, any changes will be more pronounced. Airbnb promises authentic experiences to tourists (guests) and making the most of unused assets to locals (hosts), ensuring the quality of their transactions through an online reputation system with two-way reviews and ratings in individual categories, one of which refers to the location of the accommodation. Through all the data from the location ratings and reviews, as well as the illustrations that result from their processing, we can get an overview of how visitors perceive, comment and rate the neighborhood in which they stayed, in relation to what they expected from this travel experience. In this paper, by applying the aforementioned to the case of Athens, we can see which areas are more attractive to tourists and which tend to disappoint them, as well as the possible reasons. This distinction can be translated into indications about which areas will experience a boom in short-term rentals due to their attractiveness and thus more pronounced benefits, or implications, that may follow. So, we attempt to look into what lies behind the expectations and motivations of tourists for the visit, as well as the context in which their feelings for the city are expressed and recorded, culminating in illustrations that depict these feelings for Athens, in order to make it possible for observations, interpretations and conclusions to be made about Airbnb, the Athenian neighborhoods, visitors, residents, and the interactions between them all.
