Guest Reviews

• Verónica (6/5): - La ubicación es perfecta El baño es diminuto y la habitación es bastante oscura
• vincent (8/5): -
• Anne (8/5): Great location . - Great location. Nicely appointed The bathroom was treacherous Not enough towels The mattress cover/protector would be better if material (not plastic)
• Katie (8/5): Overall great accomodation! - Fantastic location, a few minutes from the acropolis in one direction and syntagma square the other direction, loads of local shops and places to eat. The living space was a great size, very clean and nicely decorated and fantastic value for money Only downside was the size of the bathroom as it is very small! But we knew this before booking and it was manageable for 3 nights, definitely a worthy sacrifice for the affordability and location! However we wouldn't recommend this for anyone with mobility issues as the bathroom is a squeeze.
• Nick (8/5): -
• Eva (8/5): - Výborná lokalita. Veľmi malá toaleta a kúpeľňa.
• silvia (10/5): In pieno centro - Ottima posizione, struttura pulitissima e con letto molto molto comodo Il bagno è un po’ piccolo ( soprattutto il lavandino) ma funziona tutto ed è pulito
• AMALIA (9/5): -
• Nouh (7/5): - The location Th bathroom too small almost not usable.
• Katy Susana (7/5): - La ubicación El baño muy pequeño
• Inna (9/5): -
• Barbara (9/5): Central Athens stay - Great location on pedestrian street in Plaka and close to Syntagma. A large room, quiet, and a really comfortable bed (for my January visit needed to use the second cover from inside the wardrobe as the bed cover was only thin). Room exactly like photos As other reviews mention, bathroom was ridiculously small and would be unusable for larger guests. Owners assure it is being renovated very soon :-)
• Federico (8/5): -
• Iuliana (8/5): - Locația foarte bună. Baia extrem de mica si greu de utilizat.
• Belen (9/5): Muy buena ubicación - La ubicación perfecta El baño demasiado pequeño
• Michelle (8/5): Well located - Location The very small bathroom
• Virginia (4/5): Mala experiencia - Ubicación Tuvimos una mala experiencia en la estadía. Primero al llegar las indicaciones para la llave no son claras. El que correspondía al departamento no tenía ninguna descripción para saber cuál era, tuvimos que probar todos y perdimos un montón d tiempo. Segundo tuvimos un inconveniente con la llave, el anfitrión no nos respondió nunca al número de wa qué dejó para urgencias. Tuvimos que llamarlo desde un bar y nos dijo que no estaba en atenas y que el wa qué dejó no estaba funcionando. Terminamos haciendo el reclamo por booking quien nos llamó y solucionó el problema. El anfitrión nunca se comunicó con nosotras en toda la estadía. El baño del departamento no tiene espacio para hacer nada sin chocarte con algo, demasiado pequeño. Además para el agua caliente tenés que activar con un botón, esperar y desactivar para poder bañarte.
• Georgios (10/5): Εξαιρετικό κατάλυμα στο κέντρο της Αθήνας. Πας με τα πόδια παντού. Το προτείνω με κλειστά μάτια !!! Ο Οικοδεσπότης ξεπέ -
• Екатерина (7/5): - Location is perfect. Bathroom
• Heisenberg (2/5): The shower and toilet are too small. - The location was not so bad . The toilet size is terribly small. Completely useless. Size is for hobbits. The shower pad is too small.
• Samir (9/5): - The apartment is very cozy and nicely furnished. The area is excellent, full of bars and restaurants, right in the city center, in the most beautiful part of the city. The only small downside is that the bathroom is a bit small.
• Bombosi (10/5): -
• Namgaladze (9/5): - Comfortable bed, very good location. Despite the small bathroom, it was a very comfortable apartment.
• Prantik (10/5): - Superb location . Huge room with all amenities . Maybe a sign board outside would have helped to find the property
• Hayati Topuz (8/5): -
• El Ouardighi (8/5): -
• Carolina (4/5): NO RECOMEDABLE - La ubicación. En pleno corazón de Atenas, en el barrio de Plaka. El baño era muy pequeño, en el lavabo no te entraba ni una mano, de la ducha se salía todo el rato el agua, y la taza del water estaba rota. Había manchas en el suelo. Todas las noches nos ha picado “algo” en la cama a pesar de comprar mata mosquitos. (Nos vamos con 30 picaduras cada uno) Nos habían dicho que nos ponían una cuna, y eso no ocurrió.
• Anamaria (8/5): -
• Michael (10/5): Sehr gut - zum wohlfühlen! - Schöne geräumige Unterkunft! Viel Platz für 1 - 2 Personen! Toilette könnte jedoch etwas größer sein ! Passt alles - gerne wieder!
• Sébastien (7/5): -
• Alexander (4/5): - Kein Zugangscode erhalten. Bauarbeiten in der Nachbarwohnung
• Natalia (3/5): Отношение хозяина к клиентам крайне не внимательное. - Место. Кровать Не работал водонагреватель, пришлось мыться холодной водой. Включить кондиционер не получилось, на пульт не реагировал, хотя батарейки были рабочие. Найти ключи был квест, ящичком с кодами было 7 шт, в каком наши ключи нам не сообщили, зная код пришлось методом подбора найти подходящий, хорошо что ящик был вторым по порядку, а не седьмой. Связаться в менеджере WhatsApp не удалось, номер телефона в письме был указан не верный. ++ я уже озвучил.
• vida (8/5): - So central to everything very clean comfortable Shower area tiny
• David (9/5): Muy buena habitación y ubicación, baño pequeño - La ubicación es excelente, muy bien ubicado en el barrio de Plaka. La habitación es muy grande, tiene cocina y todos los utensilios necesarios por si quieres cocinar algo. El aire acondicionado funcionaba muy bien. Necesitabamos hacer el Check in más tarde y no hubo ningún problema por parte del propietario. Lo único malo es el baño, es muy muy muy pequeño, la ducha es diminuta y no puedes ducharte sin que se te pegue la cortina. El grifo es pequeño, se sale el agua sin querer, nosotros usamos siempre el de la "cocina". El wc es muy pequeño y muy pegado al grifo y a la pared, hay que hacer malabares para sentarse, y si eres una persona grande, probablemente no quepas.
• david (7/5): bien sitiué - Emplacement idéal L'adresse sur Map m'a envoyé à l'opposé, les indications sur la localisation n'étaient pas claires
• Laki (9/5): Superb -
• Stefania (10/5): Excellent location - nice flat - Very well presented and excellent location to explore Athens! Very good customer service too.
• Salim (6/5): - Bathroom very small and hazardous
• Cemre (8/5): Very good -
• Rodrigo (8/5): Very good -
• Nato (10/5): Exceptional -
• Melchor (10/5): - George went above and beyond. He made sure our stay in Athens was delightful.
• Kursad (7/5): Good - The location The bath room so tiny
• Ali (7/5): Excellent location - great value. - Value for money, excellent location. Bathroom was super tiny. No balcony, not a good view from the windows. Location is misleading if you search for the apartment name on Google, hence stick to the address provided by the host.
• Helen (7/5): Because of location and Mr Nikki’s in the Travel Agency below who was most helpful, we had a pleasant stay. - Location was good for us. Room was large and had everything we needed for an overnight stay. Our contact for the property, Jo, always answered promptly and let us have a late check out when asked. The bathroom was rather awkward to use, very small cramped but got overnight we managed.
• Andrew (8/5): - Location great 👍
• Cathy (8/5): Oh well! - Standing at the property front door, I had to request check in info as no prior email was sent. Had to try 3 code boxes as the info did not specify which code box. Had to ask about what hot water fuse to turn on, as it was not specific in instructions. The top drawer in the kitchen was broken and one of the night stand lamp shades was also broken. Toilet is snug to wall with shower foot edge on the other side - super snug with no rails to stand or sit. Also window in main room did not lock properly. Front door if property had a very loud high pitched sound when opened by all guests of building. Would not recommend!
• Gianlu (10/5): great place to stay - location is great confortable
• Mayara (8/5): - Muito boa, super nos atendeu, único ponto seria o tamanho do banheiro mesmo, quando fechei já sabia, então não foi um susto, mas é bem pequeno mesmo. De resto ótima localização, cama boa, havia ar condicionado, tinha até uma cafeteira, proprietário explicou tudo e nos deu todo suporte.
• Andrew (10/5): - Very clean and quiet in the middle of everything. Great price for what I got. George the host was great and takes pride in his property. I would stay here again.
• S (8/5): I would stay here again if I was in Athens - For starter, there was a little mistake and we didn’t get the apartment we had booked online. But George the host was fantastic! He organised for us to go to an alternative accommodation which was fantastic. All his restaurant recommendations were great too. He was always available to answer any queries I had. Brilliant service. Nothing really except, The shower screen wasn’t big enough so every time anyone had a shower the bathroom floor would get wet. But we realised that’s the style in most Greek bathrooms.
• S (10/5): Conveniently Located - The property was as described. Very central to the main sights and eating establishments. The host was helpful during our stay and easily contactable.
• Stacey (10/5): Lovely apartment, great location - Had a great stay in Athens. Very nice apartment in a brilliant location for all the tourist attractions, Acropolis, Olympic stadium etc etc, could walk to all of them and only 5 minutes walk to the main tube station. Plaka is a great location and neighbourhood and apartment is on top of a street full of bars and lovely restaurants. Only downside to the apetment is the bathroom which is very small and not particularly practical but we knew that before we stayed and I wouldn't let that put you off as everything else is great. Would definitely recommend this apartment and would definitely stay again if I came to Athens again.
• Mm (7/5): Good -
• Aylin (9/5): Superb -
• Cooper (10/5): - Nice property, big room
• Hendrika Willemina (8/5): - Right in the centre of Plaka, close to everything. Accommodation a bit older and no view or balcony but the location makes up for everything.
• Nelson (8/5): - We got a quick response from the owner during check-in. Location is great, close to transportation and shops. Despite a small bathroom, it was still a good place to stay for a couple of nights
• Ιωάννης (10/5): Exceptional -
• Itzhak (10/5): The stunning place in Athens - The house manager with an excellent sense of service always answered and helped. The next time I'm in Athens we will definitely come back. Thank you very much
• Susanne (9/5): Superb - Loved the big space and comfy bed and pillows and all that came with apartment. It was quiet yet Location was excellent, close to everywhere. The lock for the outside door was a little hard to open.
• Marco (10/5): Exceptional - Comfy beds and great owners.
• Charitos (8/5): good location, clean property, small bathroom - This is a good property with located at a great central point. The price is good and I would stay at the same property again. The disadvantage is that the bathroom is very small.
• Sarah (10/5): - Very clean and quiet. Small unit but had everything we wanted and needed. Very good location to all transport and amenities.
• Teona (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yan (7/5): Good - Location Toilet is too small
• Stavroulla (7/5): Good -
• Reda (9/5): Value for money and well located. - Very good location, there is enough space in the appartement and is clean and comfortable. The wc are quite tight, you need to accommodate with the space 😅 The building key needs to be replaced, you need to move it up and down to open.
• Ali (8/5): Very good -
• Nicanor (8/5): Very good -
• Jane (9/5): We’ve been in Athens before but we enjoyed it this time more than previously. - fabulous location. Could walk most places we wanted to go or there was plenty of public transport close by. Room is stylishly presented and clean. The bathroom is okay, but it’s very small and anyone who is obese or stiff in the joints would have trouble getting to the toilet!
• Glenn (10/5): Great location close to Syntagma and thePlakka - George's apartment was excellent for our 2 night stay in Athens. The location is fantastic being close to both Syntagma Sq (where both the metro station and airport bus have stops) and the Plakka area. The photos are accurate and as mentioned by other reviewers the bathroom is very 'snug'. We were aware of this before booking and managed OK. If using the very small sink just move the mirror out of the way OR use the kitchen sink. We are both of a small build and the shower is 'tight'. We didn't use the kitchen so can't comment on that. George was quick to respond to any messages which made arrival and queries easy. Plenty of room and very quiet. Good value for the price.
• Christine (7/5): Good - Size of main area was great, and the location was perfect The bathroom was too small
• Anthony (10/5): very nice indeed - really fantastic place to stay, right by/in Plaka which is perfect if you’re a tourist visiting Athens, everything you need in walkable distance location
• Maria (9/5): Superb - All good, great location, nice host
• Sofia (7/5): good - The location was perfect and the host was kind. The apartment was clean. Small bathroom, made it hard to brush teeth. The air conditioner wasn't working.
• Bogojevic (10/5): Exceptional - The location and everything was so close.
• Linda (9/5): Good in all respects tho bathroom is very small. - very attractive in a great location. The bathroom/toilet is uncomfortably small.
• Alicia (8/5): Very good -
• Alex (10/5): Exceptional - Great size room with comfy bed. Right in the heart of Plaka and just a short walk from the Acropolis and lots of restaurants. Good communication response times from the owner on arrival. Bathroom was tiny, needs the wall moving to give more space and then this accomodation would be 100% perfect.
• Joseph (6/5): - Bathroom too small and unmanageable.
• Barbara (10/5): - Excellent location in the Plaka with easy access to all public transportation at Syntagma Square and steps away from amazing close-up views of the Acropolis. Many good restaurants, cafes, etc. in the area. The host, George, is very responsive & very quickly & graciously replies to any enquires. The room itself is spacious & comfortable with a/c, kitchenette, tv & wifi. The window overlooks an interior courtyard, so no view at all but adequate light. It’s also very nice & quiet for sleeping. The downside is definitely the tiny bathroom. It is indeed very small but the shower works well with lots of hot water. The tiny sink and awkwardly placed toilet are a bit of a challenge, but I think the trade off for the price & location is worth it. Depends what your priorities are!
• T (8/5): Amazing location/great room/tiny bathroom - You could not find a better location than this room! It’s exactly in the center (Plaka) and everything you need is accessible from there. At the beginning it was hard for us to locate because it’s not a hotel, it’s only an apartment. The studio itself is very spacious and great: however, the bathroom was not functional considering how small is was, I was very uncomfortable trying to use it, but it was a little easier for my husband to use. If only interested about the location this is definitely your go-to apartment! But if you’re looking for comfort then I wouldn’t recommend this bathroom facility.
• Richard (10/5): Quirky, clean, comfy, close to sights - Super clean, somewhat quirky older property, tricky to find, signage non existent, host sent Wi-Fi password and allowed to drop bags off before cleaning completed, which was nice Look for street address, check for wifi signal and sign in and communicate with host. Tiny bathroom and kitchen but great value for such a perfect location.
• Chris (10/5): Perfect room - Perfectly lovely room with everything we needed in a really lovely part of Athens
• Verified traveler (8/5): Deux nuits à Athènes - Les +: Appartement calme, très grand, lit très confortable, bonne situation géographique, self check in. Machine à café, bouilloire, four et plaques (mais pas de four micro ondes). Les -: salle d'eau plus que minuscule (j'arrivais à me tourner dans la douche car je suis mince mais je pense que c'est ingérable pour une personne plus imposante, difficile de s'asseoir sur le toilette par manque de place et lavage de dents dans l'évier..). Besoin de lancer le chauffeau 25 min avant la douche pour avoir de l'eau chaude. Malgré cela bonne expérience à un prix très raisonnable.
