Guest Reviews

• Jen (10/5): Amazing apartment in old town - Staying in Plaka was amazing. So quiet, but beautiful old town. Nothing. Everything was wonderful. The owners were so attentive and gave us great recommendations for places to eat and see.
• Joanna (10/5): Wspaniała lokalizacja - Dla mnie wspaniałe mieszkanie w najpiękniejszym miejscu Aten. Przylega do monastyru. Na parterze dwie sypialnie i łazienka. Na piętrze salon i kuchnia oraz mini taras. A z antresoli wejście na dach przez okno dachowe🤩 i widok niespodzianka. W mieszkaniu zakamarki których odkrywanie sprawia mnóstwo radości. Szkoda wychodzić z domu. Poczęstunek na dzień dobry jest bardzo miłym akcentem. Wyposażone we wszystko co niezbędne a nawet więcej. Czyli żelazka suszarki prostownicy korkociągu powerbanku nie zabieramy z domu. Świetna kawa. Dawno nie spotkałam tak dobrze zaopatrzonego apartamentu. Restauracja na dole to marzenie. Polecam wejść tam już pierwszego wieczoru. My weszliśmy ostatniego dnia i żałowałyśmy że nie zdecydowałyśmy się wcześniej. Przepyszne jedzenie. Nie ma co szukać dalej. 😍 Schody na 1 piętrze nie mają poręczy więc raczej malutkich dzieci tam nie widzę.
• Jon (10/5): - Location was perfect. Unique layout with excellent amenities. Photos match the actual home. Only small issue-a clothes rack would have been nice for the bedroom without a closet Very minor.
• Mirco (9/5): -
• Sophie (9/5): Super - Emplacement, calme Ne pas pouvoir mettre du papier dans toilettes (mais c’est peut-être la norme dans le quartier)
• Saskia (10/5): Erg mooi verblijf op een fantastische plek. - Het design en dat er veel op loopafstand te zien is. Niks.
• Gözde (10/5): -
• Antonia (10/5): Remarquable - Situation remarquable à Plaka, dans un endroit particulièrement calme malgré l’animation du quartier. Le logement est idéalement situé, au pied de l’Acropole, ce qui permet de rayonner facilement à pied pour profiter pleinement du séjour et des principaux sites d’Athènes. La décoration est réalisée avec beaucoup de goût : on sent véritablement la signature d’un esthète, avec une attention portée aux détails qui rend l’atmosphère à la fois élégante et chaleureuse. À cela s’ajoute une grande réactivité de l’hôte, toujours disponible à la moindre question. Une adresse parfaite pour découvrir la ville dans les meilleures conditions.
• Ilona (10/5): Beautiful home in the heart of Athens - The location is absolutely perfect — right in the charming and peaceful neighborhood of Anafiotika, just a few minutes’ walk from the Acropolis and the Panathenaic Stadium. It truly feels like a hidden gem in the heart of Athens. There are so many wonderful restaurants and cozy cafés nearby, making it easy to enjoy the best of the city. The house itself is beautiful, full of character, and at the same time incredibly practical and comfortable. Everything was thoughtfully arranged, which made our stay completely effortless. On top of that, the hosts were super friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. They made everything so easy from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Athens! -
• Yong (10/5): - 非常好的位置，极其漂亮的房子，太喜欢他家的屋顶了，晚上睡觉太安静了，根本就不想出门，我太太和女儿很喜欢，还有他家的两只猫，也是可爱。
• Judith (9/5): -
• Nemanja (10/5): Beyond expectations! All recommendations -
• Marcin (10/5): Magical Athens - The place is fantastic. Perfect location for sightseeing in Athens. We were there in a group of 2 adults and 3 kids. Very comfortable. The staff is very helpful. To get to Acropolis it's a 3 minute walk. You can see the house from Acropolis:) The house has everything You need.
• Shay (10/5): Excellent location, comfortable and spacious and wonderful host. - Excellent location and extremely helpful and communicative host! Close to excellent restaurants and easy to get everywhere. The host went above and beyond bringing over brand new game controllers that were missing so my son could play video games in the evening, he was so thrilled! When I left a small bag at the property the host contacted me and mailed it back to me in Germany. Very, very thankful for the excellent service!
• ingegardmaria (3/5): Does this apartment have a permit ??? - Nothing Difficult to get to . No key in the lockbox when we arrived at apx. 4pm. Cleaning lady still there cleaning when we arrived . She left a lot of laundry in the dryer . It would not have dried , I had to separate it and run 2 more cycles . The washing maskin rubber gasket , totalt disgusting ( not cleans for weeks or month ). The bathroom drains not draining , clogged with black buildup 🤮. He whole bathroom smelled musty and damp . Dirt buildup behind the bed including a spray can . The apartment is also not safe , no stair rail on the spiral staircase , from the first floor to the Livingroom /kitchen .Also totally cluttered withe books on every surface . You might ask why we did not leave . It was getting dark , the place hard to get to . Cars can not get there you have to walk on old cobblestoned streets /stairs . We would not have gotten our money back easily … And also find another place in a hurry . There is something wrong with the electric . Some switches don’t work. . The last night all the light went out on the second floor .
• Βάλια (10/5): - Το κατάλυμα είναι ακριβώς όπως στις φωτογραφίες και ακόμη καλύτερο . Η τοποθεσία είναι τρομερή , μέσα στο κέντρο της πόλης . Ήσυχη περιοχή ωστόσο στο σημείο ακριβώς που βρίσκεται . Το κατάλυμα ήταν πεντακάθαρο, και αυτό που μας εντυπωσίασε ήταν η άμεση ανταπόκριση των ιδιοκτητών, στο πόσο οργανωμένοι είναι καθώς οτιδήποτε χρειαστήκαμε μας βοήθησαν αμέσως . Η διακόσμηση του ιδιαίτερη και ρομαντική . Αρκετά φωτεινός χώρος με πολύ προσεγμένο το θέμα την θερμοκρασίας . Αξίζει να σημειωθεί πως είναι διαθεσιμα πράγματα τα οποία δεν έχω ξαναδεί σε κανενα κατάλυμα - ξενοδοχείο από θέμα προσωπικής υγιεινής , έξυπνων παιχνιδιών , μέχρι και τα κουζινικά είδη . Το συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα και σίγουρα θα το επισκεφτώ ξανά .
• Pavel (10/5): -
• Emin (10/5): -
• Nikolaos (10/5): - Πάρα πολυ καλή τοποθεσία, κοντα σε παραδοσιακές ταβέρνες και αγορά, το διαμέρισμα είχε πολύ ωραια εσωτερική διακόσμηση οπου εναρμονίζεται με την περιοχή, δεν έλειπε τιποτα απο τις παροχές του σπιτιού. Η επικοινωνία με τους οικοδεσπότες ήταν άριστη. Ευχαριστούμε πολύ για όλα.
• Oscar (10/5): A wonderful place, genuinely warm and generous hosts, thank you. -
• piercm (10/5): parfait, cozy, idéal - La réactivité, la gentillesse et la politesse de l'hôte, c'est mieux qu'un hôtel.
• John (10/5): Very much recommend. - Location was amazing; as well the views from the property. Cozy and accommodating. Well thought out; there was a plethora of provisions available. Fantastic host. The communication was exceptional; all most concierge like. Honestly; I was quite happy all the way around.
• Wojciech (9/5): -
• Jones (10/5): - Lovely appartment. Great location
• Bryce (10/5): - Unique, serene, cozy, artistic. You will wish you spent more time in the home than you did. Beds were cozy. Living room was perfect to spend the day. Rooftop to get some sun. Loved it Not much choice but one bed is right in entry way, so not private for that person. But on any other floor would be too far from bathroom. Small issue but not big deal.
• Martin (10/5): fantastisch - alles nichts
• Marina (10/5): -
• Tammara (10/5): - It was cozy and had great touches like tea and honey. We stay at a lot of Airbnb's, and this was one of our favorites. It was creatively decorated. Nothing. It was great
• Demetre (10/5): -
• Max Catena (8/5): - Very atmospheric house in a great location. Excellent availability of the host. The bathroom is not at the level of the price of the house.
• Hans (8/5): Wonderful - It is quiet, but in the middle of Plaka. Great balcony, entrance is weird, but fantastic inner yard. Homy, great atmosphere,. Do not bring heavy suitcase…some stairs to climb
• Amy (10/5): We had an enjoyable stay and the accommodation and staff were extraordinary. - The apartment was on the perfect location for our syay. We were so close to all the sites we wanted to visit, as well as the shops and restaurants. The view from the rooftop terrace is amazing!!
• Andrej (10/5): My best accommodation ever! - I have the only one comment - this was my best accommodation I have ever stayed in. Really amazing! And I travel the world a lot…
• Hans (8/5): - Very nice authentic place, close to everything you want to see. Love the ‘balcony’ and roof terras. Be careful with the stairs
• Gary (9/5): Superb -
• Leslie (7/5): Unique stay in fantastic location - The location is outstanding. Close to everything we wanted, walking distance to all major spots, restaurants and more. Unique home with lots of interesting decor and artwork. Great kitchen for meals. The property managers were so attentive and helped with transport which was greatly appreciated. Stairs were a challenging without rails and we really wanted to use the outdoor patio, but did not realize you had to climb up through the skylight and over the roof to access it and was more than we wanted to attempt.
• Sarah (10/5): Perfect house in absolutely charming location. - Location is fantastic- peaceful, quiet, atmospheric and historic, well away from the noise of the city, yet within a couple of minutes’ walk of an excellent range of restaurants and most of the archeological sites. The house is incredibly well equipped (I can’t think of anything it doesn’t have) and very comfortable and clean. Roof terrace gives you a great view both day and night. The only thing to consider is that the stairs- spiral staircase up from bedrooms to living room, then open stairs to mezzanine and finally the paddle stairs to roof - may not be suitable for anyone who is unsteady on their feet. But with a bit of care they are fine. The people who manage the property are really helpful and communication was excellent. We would gladly stay again! Nothing!
• Jennifer (10/5): A short stay in a one of a kind apartment in Plaka - Wow! This apartment was amazing! Hidden up the mountain, it had the most stunning views and such a cool vibe! Using a lock box, the keys are retrieved and used to open an outer door to a small open air foyer before entering the first floor. Bedrooms were located on the first floor, living space on the second with a small loft leading to the terrace. Loved the rooftop terrace! I sat up there for hours! How often can you stay in an apartment with a roof-top terrace with a view of the acropolis! It was incredible. Loved this apartment, it screamed old world! And lastly, it was in the heart of Plaka, next to restaurants galore! Nothing, it was great.
• Teiklee (10/5): Exceptional - Location, rustic yet modern, lots of charm & Character. Attic window access with Acropolis view! Very well equipped. Shower head needs a stand, .other than that everything was perfect!
• Bruce (10/5): A perfect spot to stay during your visit to Athens - Location was fantastic, right in the centre of Plaka. The rooftop terrace has amazing views of the Acropolis and the living space was perfect. the amenities were well stocked and the hosts were always on hand if we had any questions.
• William (9/5): Overall would absolutely recommend, very charming, fabulous location, very quiet and private. - N/a Neighbors dog barked incessantly during day. Would have been nice to have more comfortable outdoor space. Spiral staircase access to main living area a little uncomfortable.
• Jennifer (10/5): Spectacular in every way; view of acropolis from rooftop terrace; super stylish; in pedestrian zone - Simply spectacular.
• Jennifer (10/5): Exceptional -
• Laura (10/5): Exceptional - The location was fabulous, Plaka is simply beautiful. All sights in very easy reach. Maria gave us so much useful information too, to ensure we saw and experienced everything Athens has to offer. The noisy dog next door, but it was only one morning.
• Ileana (10/5): Exceptional - Our stay was wonderful, this house brings lots of joy every time you enter and discover new hidden layers of old history and new stories. We are in love with this gem, definitely will come back to find out more!
• Dionisios (8/5): A unique experience - The books, the staircase and mezzanine level very authentic feel Bathroom could do with an upgrade
• Theresa (10/5): awesome!would def come again. - great location in the middle of everything but still very seperate and quiet. a tiny little oasis.loved it.
• Christene (10/5): Spacious, unique apartment in Plaka - Unique and artistic, convenient location and very quiet given the central location in Plaka. Excellent proactive communication with host prior to and immediate responses throughout our stay. No dislikes. Just some thoughts to help prepare others: Be prepared for some stairs if navigating heavy bags since taxi cannot reach front door. The rooftop is lovely, but not easily accessible if you have any mobility issues.
• Sandy (9/5): Very friendly, helpful and open minded host and his team. - Superb Location in the scenic old quarter of Plaka in Athens very close to the Acropolis. Unique, stylish and cozy apartment.
