Guest Reviews
- Kim (8/5): Our arrival had a minor issue. The host handled it immediately. We loved how close the apartment is to everything. Recom - The location. Close to the popular shopping area and major sights, but far enough from it to be quiet at night The apartment is very nice. Two minor observations: there is no chair (only bar stools) and; the A/C was strained to cool the room. Minor in the big picture.

- Loes (8/5): Perfecte locatie en grotendeels comfortabel, netjes en mooi. - Locatie was perfect, het rustige balkon aan de achterkant ook. De keuken was heel compleet en het feit dat er overal horren waren vond ik ook fijn! De badkamer was klein, vochtig en muf. Duidelijk vochtschade, oud douchegordijn en altijd een paar rioolmugjes aanwezig.

- Patrycja (10/5): - Świetna lokalizacja, blisko do najważniejszych atrakcji, sklepów z pamiątkami i restauracji. Mieszkanie może nie jest najnowsze, ale bardzo czyste i zadbane, dobrze wyposażone.
- Tomas_Slovakia (8/5): - Location is just awesome, close to everything The bathroom is quite small, but it is the same like in the description
- Bartosz (8/5): Super kontakt z gospodarzem, booking był w rewelacyjnej lokalizacji - Lokalizacja

- Kay (9/5): A fantastic stay in a beautiful flat and location. Thank you! - Clean, excellent location, well-equipped Nothing, all great!
- Giovanna Anna (7/5): - Posizione perfetta per gli spostamenti. Estrema difficoltà a comunicare con tempestività con l'oste.
- kiara (8/5): - vicinanza a tutte le piazze del centro e la posizione
- Samantha (9/5): - The location was amazing. Walking distance to many Athens highlights and a view of the Acropolis from the roof.
- giovanni (6/5): Buono per qualità prezzo adatto a giovani informali e poco esigenti - Posizione Affaccio, bagno troppo piccolo e mancanza piumino in quanto stanza fredda e condizionatore troppo rumoroso.
- Britta (7/5): -
- Mujde (8/5): Very good location - Location and easy access. Clean. It is a little old . Bathroom is quite small. But it is okay.
- Vanessa (8/5): Atene una meravigliosa scoperta ❤️ - Posizione eccellente nel quartiere di plaka e ai piedi dell’acropoli . Zona piena di ristoranti e taverne . .
- Ralph (7/5): - Great location, quiet at night but only half a block from a busy tourist shopping street. The price was good for a major city. There was no flat area, but the kitchen's small counter space and the bedside tables for setting a cup or glass. The floor was the only option that worked. The auxiliary bed to be used as a couch/chair was too deep to sit back comfortably. A microwave would be nice to have.
- saskia (9/5): - The location and the apartment itself.
- Angela (7/5): Convenient - You can’t beat the location. Steps from Plaka
- Georgy (6/5): - Понравилось почти всё, кроме заезда в объект Заезд в объект размещения оказался сложным и не соответствовал первоначальным инструкциям Мы потеряли около часа времени и нервы .
- Sarah Katharina (7/5): - Die Lage ist unschlagbar gut! Das Bett ist sehr sehr unbequem
- Valentina (8/5): - La ubicación es buenísima! Muy agradable lugar para hospedarse.
- CLAUDIO (7/5): - posizione ottima appartamento non pulitissimo e con poco spazio soprattutto per mangiare in 3 persone. Ma centralissimo in un ottimo quartiere .
- Imogen (10/5): A wonderful apartment to have as a base to our trip.Close to all the main attractions. - It is in a central location, lovely neighbourhood & easy to navigate apartment block.
- Naomi (8/5): Very good - Very central, yet quiet.
- Opah (8/5): Very good - Right in the centre of plaka. Had a perfect Athens stay . Will definitely return
- Kristina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nicola (3/5): Had to make lots of requests to manager and only some completed - Location is great- right in the heart of plaka Correspondence through my booking was with AI so not a person.
It was a very small bathroom and rooftop was disappointing even though view was good.
Asked for single bed to be made up one day prior and it wasn’t. Keys left in lock box didn’t include rooftop or power activation.
Terrible smell in the bathroom for the last two days.
- Penny (9/5): An excellent place to explore Plaka and surrounding areas. - Fantastic location. The apartment is exactly as described, small but perfectly functional. The terrace is not as welcoming as I hoped.
- Hagop (10/5): Exceptional - Location was amazing, rooftop was nice to see and spend some time at. All was perfect.
- Viktoria (9/5): Superb -
- Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marcie (10/5): Exceptional - The host was incredibly helpful and so friendly. I had broken my phone and had to call from different phone numbers, he always answered and did come to meet me to help me get the keys/get inside. The apartment was as pictured/described, and very comfortable.
- Swathi (4/5): - The lockbox was hard to find and the owner kept telling me he was sending photos but he didn’t. And then when I asked for help, he said “I already sent you the photos”. There was no lack of concern that a guest was alone and scared about entering the property. I finally figured it out but tough luck if you feel unsure because he doesn’t even pick up his calls.
- Roxanne (8/5): Location Location Location this is where you want to be - The location of the flat was perfect for everything we wanted to do
- Jackson (8/5): Very good -
- Rachel (9/5): Fabulous views - This apartment couldn’t be in a better position for the acropolis, syntagma square and the fabulous walking streets around this area. The roof terrace was an added bonus! Everything you need is there! The bathroom could do with updating, shower curtain doesn’t stop the water leaking everywhere
- Verified traveler (10/5): - very good location, close to restaurants and close to acropolis.
- Sharon (10/5): Exceptional - Everything!
Beautiful place to stay. Everything was perfect.
Right in the heart of Plaka. Restaurants, shops, metro, all at your doorstep. The residence is so nicely presented. Bed was comfortable. View of the Acropolis on your balcony. I'd rate it as one of the coolest airbnb's i've stayed at. Gorgeous decor.
George is an absolute gem. He is responsive, so helpful, and such a nice guy. Nothing. Loved everything about this airbnb
- Ara (4/5): Good location, easy access, need daily cleaning - It was at the center of everything
Easy access to everywhere The apartment was not cleaned for our entire 5 day stay
- Omar (8/5): Very good - Location. Host is very helpful and room is clean
- Sandra (4/5): You get what you pay for! It was a lower price and looked like it! - No breakfast. The host kept saying he would meet me at the apt. Then he sent an email saying the key location but I didn't get it because I didn't have wifi! Bad mixup! The bed was awful! Bathroom so tiny. The balcony was tiny and the view was terrible.
- Teresa (8/5): Very good - George was extremely responsive when we had an issue Location excellent. Smaller than the photos depicted
- Robert (10/5): Perfect location in Athens with the restaurants we loved nearby - Location Nothing
- B (6/5): As described - Great location, suprisingly quiet. Clean and comfy bed. Host said early check in was possible and gave me a time of 2pm, but very unresponsive to messages on the day. The cleaning lady did not turn up till after our agreed time, so I waited for 50 minutes. Allowed me to check in bags 10 min earlier than normal check in time (3pm). But otherwise, do not count on early check in.
- Tom (8/5): Great location! - It’s well located and is easy to get in and and of all the attractions. It’s a bit annoying having to turn the hot water on but not the end of the world.
- Stefan (10/5): Fantastic location in a beautiful neighborhood - The best location in Plaka (old town) - the property is tucked away in a nice a quiet road (no noise at night). Walking distance to most of the main attractions including the Acropolis 5mins and Syntagma train station 10mins (link to airport). Lots of beautiful bars and restaurants around the area. The property itself was great and served us well for a 5 day/ 4 night stay as a couple. 100% would stay here again! Bathroom is a little small but it did’t cause any issues for us.
Also there is some small construction going on behind the property. However it seems they start late in the morning so it didn’t cause any trouble for us as we were already up by 9am/9.30am and out for the whole day.
- Jeidee (10/5): Exceptional - Great location
- Saad (7/5): Great Location, but lacking amneties - Location is fantastic. Beds were comfy, also having the balcony as great... Plus, the building residents were very nice as it was raining one night and they gave us umbrella!
The owner is very responsive too. - Bathroom is so small!!
- I think apartment was quite cold for me, even though the Air Conditioner works with heating, still it felt cold.
- Walls aren't sound proof, you hear almost every thing in corridor. However, people don't party so it's bearable.
- Kitchen was missing glasses, only 1 glass for 2 people is a bit weird.
- No slippers given and the floor was too cold to walk bare foot.
- Coffee machine with no pods! 🙄
In general, I think location is the only reason to stay there, otherwise I would prefer a hotel with better amenities.
- Topac (9/5): Superb -
- Colin (8/5): Very good -
- Jan (8/5): Very good - Was expecting to meet the host on arrival
- Rohit__agrawal (9/5): Value for Money Apartment - Location, Location, Location... Best advantage... Palaka market is next door... Saves lots of money for local travel, most of the attractions are within walking distance. Good small cozy apartment suitable for ONLY 2 people. Good rooftop to enjoy morning and evening coffee. . Good wifi... George is very helpful and responsive. Gives very clear instructions about check in with photos... Need a safety box badly. I asked the owner, he agreed for the installation but later on We didn't have time. Hopefully this is done by now.. lots of old stuff in the cupboard and in the kitchen needs to be removed. Looks earlier visitors have left these few things which are still there. Room size is small but manageable.
- Ying (10/5): The location is easy to go around we had time to take a nap after lunch and still can make intro see the sunset by walki - The apartment is at a very convenient location that you can reach everything a tourist might need. Walking distance to Acropolis, to food and drinks, shops etc. George is very kind and always quick responds to questions. We only stayed two nights and didn’t use the kitchen so don’t know if it has things for making your own food. Nothing
- Lawrence (9/5): Good short stay in Athens. Great location - Location was excellent. Metro was walkable and main areas very close. Despite earlier notification of arrival time (1pm) and indication that this was fine, apartment had not been cleaned and access was not available until @3pm. It was hot outside!
- Theodore (7/5): Good -
- George (10/5): Exceptional! - Clean, comfortable and in an excellent location within walking distance to major sites. Rooftop has amazing view of the Acropolis. George, the owner, is easily accessible, helpful and friendly.
- Albina (8/5): Very good -
- Sera (10/5): Clean, comfortable, safe & in a crackin' location. - Location is great for travellers looking for a clean comfortable place to stay whilst taking in the history and sites of Athens. Easy to get to, great easy to understand instructions, perfectly tucked away from the bustling Plaka streets. Felt very safe and ticked all our boxes. That we didn't stay longer.
- Arby (8/5): Very good - The location was perfect. Close to EVERY major tourist attractions in Athens.
- Alice (9/5): Excellent location and very good value - Excellent location and very clean! Beds were comfortable and the hosts were very responsive and very helpful :) We couldn’t get the key to work to access the rooftop and the air conditioning did not work 100%. It was cool enough but it was hard to change the temperature/fan settings
- Deva (8/5): Very good - The area being the middle of plaka! About 10 Stair-steps until the elevator which means i had to carry my luggage up and down.
- Zakis (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent and so cosy and clean. Excellent aircon and clean facilities. Great appliances and great location.
- Miwa (8/5): Very good -
- Sofya (7/5): Good - Great location and very clean. Good sized rooms Small bathroom

- Yuval (9/5): Superb -
- Kim (10/5): A convenient location and well maintained property that offered a pleasant stay. - The location! It was clean well maintained. Fun decor in the kitchen. The property owner was readily available by text. There was a small elevator but it was out of service when we arrived. (This was out of the property owners control.)However, the property owner had a quick solution with an offer of assistance up the winding 3 story staircase with our luggage. This was appreciated. The repair was completed a couple hours later and useful for luggage on the day we left.

-The studio with a mini balcony almost fully equipped with small kitchen appliances - but we only used 2 items
-Great location and nice rooftop view of Acropolis Bed’s a bit soft, but I guess everyone has different tastes 😊
Overall - we picked the right place at the right time 🤩
- Robin (10/5): An amazing place to stay in Plaka - The host, George is an amazing human being. He was very responsive and supportive. The location of the property is very central. Acropolis is walking distance from here, Syntagma Metro Station is 10 minutes away.
- Helena (10/5): Exceptional - Location was perfect, very quiet neighborhood, owner was attentive, Great value for money
- Paul (8/5): quiet room and perfect location - 5 minutes from the metro, just off main tourist high street and so close to tourist locations. room at back so no noise (off peak season). has kitchen and balcony not used in my stay. owner was very responsive to messages. can get out to rooftop with perfect view of Acropolis No bin? not clear which is switch for hot water.

- Heba (10/5): excellent - every thing is excellent the location , the cleanliness, room is very comfortable and have every thing you need . I am very happy to stay at this place
the host is very nice and helpful.
Don’t miss the view from the top of the building ❤️ nothing
- Jefferson (10/5): Best location ever! - Best location you can imagine! walking distance to metro station (wit access to the airport) and very close to touristic spots and best stores and restaurants. in the middle of the crowd you just scape through a calm street and find your place. George communicates very well! suggestion: have breakfast at the Joint Cafe listening to 80’s songs. This was one of the best experiences we ever had! 5 stars!
- Anonymous (10/5): very nice! - George is very kind and prompt to respond to any requests, the apartment was very clean except the pillow cases were a little smelly and the shower curtain was also smelly but everything was just right, I will stay here again and I do recommend this place.
- Riccardo (7/5): (a bit) tiny, (very) central solution - Excellent position (if you want to stay close to the acropolis and the touristic, kind of crowded, area), very central, easy check-in A bit tiny, with something consequently missing (as a table to eat inside or a bathroom cabinet) nothing very limiting for many categories of travellers but to be aware of.
Difficult to leave luggages after the checkout: a service which is of course not granted but you may sometimes need (we're around with our 2 years old son with a late flight). Want to stress that this wasn't due to a lack of will by the staff but to the kind of structure. George kindly tried to meet our request, but it was not possible for more than two hours since the room had to be cleaned and there was not space enough).
- Idan.berman (10/5): Exceptional -
