Guest Reviews

• Dustin (8/5): - Great location, comfortable room. Manager was very responsive to messages. The building was not smoke free, so if you are sensitive know that you have to walk through a smoke smelling building.
• Natasa (9/5): -
• Paraskevas (10/5): -
• Rebecca (10/5): - Sehr großes, schönes und sauberes Appartment. Die Lage ist überragend und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
• Daniel Gunn (7/5): Satisfactory, but like most of the small flats in the Koukaki area, overpriced. - The location is great and Koukaki is where we always stay in Athens. The flat was fine, though the renovation was already looking a bit worn and some things were not working so well, such as the coffee maker. The host was on the ball. A nice lift to the third floor. The lighting is horrible. The coffee maker has a problem. The renovation has been quite nicely done but it is already showing signs of wear and tear.
• Carlos (10/5): - Buena comunicación con la propietaria. La ubicación es muy buena, a 5 minutos del metro de Akropolis y a 7 minutos de la entrada sur de la Akropolis. Bonito recorrido desde el apartamento hasta la plaza de Monastiraki. Barrio tranquilo y agradable con opciones de ocio y gastronomía. El apartamento es tal cual aparece en las fotos. Fuimos para un evento deportivo y aprovechamos para ver un poco la ciudad. Sin duda repetiriamos encantados en este alojamiento para disfrutar más en detalle de la ciudad. Todo estuvo fenomenal.
• GMA Rosa (8/5): - Location
• László (9/5): -
• Armelle (10/5): - Très pratique. Très bon matelas. Bien agencé et parfaitement équipé. Pas loin à pied du centre, du métro et des bus. Proche de bons restos. Pas de table sur la terrasse. Dommage.
• SALIH ONUR (10/5): - The A/C which is the main heater works noisy.
• Silvia (8/5): - Konumu şahane, temiz, Giriş ve ayrılış saatlerinde biraz esneklik olması iyi olur
• Rosa María (9/5): - Ubicación céntrica, en tercer piso con ascensor, y cerca del metro Akrópolis. Soleado. Zona de cocina bien equipada. Baño grande y dormitorio con balcón. Le falta más atención por parte de la administración de la propiedad, como retirar del baño y del interior de algunos armarios objetos que no sirven de nada (por ejemplo. rieles de cortinas o una caja con blísters de mermelada mezclados con cápsulas de jabón de lavadora).
• Ayla (9/5): Cosy place - We had a very pleasant stay in this apartment. It was cozy and truly felt like home from the moment we arrived. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of utensils for cooking, and the welcoming coffee capsules were a very thoughtful touch. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located, close to major attractions with many great restaurants nearby. Communication with the host was fast, clear, and very positive throughout our stay. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely choose to stay again on a future visit. Everything was just fine.
• Tamar (9/5): -
• Paweł (10/5): - Gospodarz przemiły człowiek, kontakt idealny. Lokalizacja TOP niedaleko świetne knajpki, Akropol i metro. Nie ma się do czego przyczepić 10/10. Za krótki pobyt :)))
• Chantal Lombardo (10/5): Excelente -
• Kristina (10/5): -
• sam (9/5): -
• cansu (9/5): -
• Marta (10/5): -
• Mary (9/5): This is a great place to stay, highly recommend! - Location is great, close to sights and transport. One broken mosquito screen, not a problem
• Reto (9/5): -
• Adamchuk (10/5): We stayed here for 4 days and everything was excellent. The apartment is fully equipped with everything you need for a c - Excellent
• Yam (10/5): Wonderful stay - Beautiful and well equipped. Also excellent location with good transport links. N/A
• Alex (10/5): - Прекрасная, чистая, светлая и очень удобная квартира. Всё есть для проживания. Отличное местоположение. Всё главные достопримечательности в пешей доступности. Рядом метро, много ресторанчиков.
• Paolo Alessandro (10/5): -
• Francisca (10/5): - Excelente ubicacion. Mas grande y mejor equipado de lo que esperabamos.
• Beth (1/5): Horrible first day experience…and a bad representation of the Greek culture. - The apartment was nice and clean inside. The property was advertised as having parking available but there was none. Area parking garages close in the evening/night hours so you could not leave your car in them overnight. We drive around in the afternoon for an hour trying to find a place to park then called the host who was rude, dismissive, and basically told me it was not her problem and hung up on me. This got me upset, and I was then crying. We travel all over, to many other countries, and I have never come across a ruder host or more frustrating situation. Most host are willing to help you find parking. All I wanted and needed to know was where I could park if the street parking was full and the garages weren’t open all night. I had even messaged prior about having a car and needing parking and was sent info to those same parking garages that I couldn’t even keep our vehicles in overnight. My kids and I ended up having to walk several blocks with all our luggage, 15 minutes, through the streets of Athens not knowing if this place was even a good place to stay at, because the phone conversation and the way I was treated did not give me a good feeing. No apology was given…she was unreachable, and unwilling to answer the phone after hanging up on me 2 times. If parking is not an issue for you it’s a good place to stay…hopefully she has better people skills if you do need something from her while there. Otherwise, if you do have a car and need parking, I recommend finding a different place.
• Weiss (10/5): -
• Claire (9/5): Perfect location and great apartment - The perfect location right next to great restaurants and the Acropolis. Washing machine was an absolute key, as was the aircon in living room as well as bedroom, given the extreme heat Totally silly point but would have been great to have a corkscrew available
• Elisa (9/5): - The apartment is situated in the Acropolis area, just a short walk from the Parthenon. It’s comfortable and well-equipped, we had a pleasant stay even with 43-degree heat outside. I’d definitely recommend it N/A
• Grégoire (8/5): Belle découverte ! - L'appartement est idéalement situé dans le centre d'Athènes, au 3ème étage avec ascenseur. Il est bien très bien équipé, propre et très confortable, avec une climatisation efficace. Bien entouré par les commerçants, il est tout proche de l'Acropole et son accès est facile depuis l'aéroport international. Il n'y a pas de personnel pour vous recevoir, une simple boîte à clefs et une communication via WhatsApp. Pour trouver la keybox, regardez bien dans l'arbre situé devant l'entrée 😉 La difficulté pour trouver une place de stationnement proche de l'appartement est également un point négatif, mais c'est commun à toutes les grandes agglomérations. La vue du balcon n'est pas top, mais bon, ça reste anecdotique.
• Diana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alice (10/5): We had a great stay here and were so happy with the location and comfortable accommodation, slept so well! Would definit - Perfect location for being in the city center, less than 5 min walk to acropolis museum, lots of great shops & restaurants Very clean, great location, lots of space for 2 people, perfect if you are staying in Athens for a few days
• Joanna (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic location for both sightseeing and restaurants, and a comfortable apartment. It was handy to have a washer in the apartment, and clothes line on the balcony.
• Luisa (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect. I will definitely be back🤩
• Roman (10/5): Exceptional -
• Arianna (10/5): Exceptional - The location is perfect, it's a great little apartment for a stay in the City center of Athens. So close to the Acropolis, loads of places to eat, the tram stop and all the main attractions of the city center. Would definitely book again. The shower door was broken, so the bathroom kept flooding, but it dried quickly, so it wasn't a big problem
• Piotr (8/5): If you like cleaning - Overall nice but many very annoying inconvinences: key on box on tree with few more, hard to find the correct one, no sign on door, very confusing which is the one you rent. No info that hot water must be heated and how to do it. Small amount of toilet paper. And last but not least AT LEAST SINCE SEPTEMBER THE OWNER DID NOT REPAIRED THE SHOWER DOOR!!! WHEN BATHING WATER IS EVERYWHERE AND YOU HAVE TO CLEAN IT!! He lied it was done by previous gueste and had no time to repair it... sinc at keast 6 months!
• Tatjana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Francesco (7/5): Good - Location and overall house The shower door was missing and it was impossible not to flood the bathroom while showering
• Ian (8/5): Modern efficient apartment near Acropolis - The design inside is very efficient and clean. It’s a lovely appointed apartment from medium to long stay. The check-in process was complex. The keys are kept in a lockbox and the code is provided, but the lockbox is located with several at least three other lockboxes and has no distinguishing factor. The owner said they would put a sticker on it that the sticker had come off.
• Walker (9/5): Wonderful location for Athens visit. - This is a great place to stay to be able to explore Athens. It is a safe area, walkable to the tourism sites and the markets, and has everything you need. There are great shops and restaurants on the same street, but many many others are nearby. The shower curtain is missing - looks like this is going to be fixed from what we saw.
• Shaharul (10/5): One of the best! - This accommodation is perfectly located and superbly equipped. Check in was seamless and easy. Check out equally so. The kitchen was really well equipped but strangely without kitchen knives or chopping boards. We were comfortable and everything was better than expected. We will be back! The shower does flood a bit due to the lack of the shower curtain or screen but it's a small matter and not really a concern. I do wish they had a chopping board and kitchen knives though!
• Walker (9/5): Great place to stay in Athens, has everything you need and is immaculate. -
• Richard (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrew (10/5): Quick stay to see acropolis etc after a cruise would recommend 😀😀 - Close to restaurants good communication with hosts Nothing
• Milonas (10/5): Great location, clean, easy. - The location! Loved it!
• Katerina (10/5): Exceptional - Nice flat is 5 minutes of Acropolis. We have all what we needed.
• Samantha (10/5): Perfect location!! - Excellent location—4 minute walk to the Acropolis. 8 minutes to the Plaka. Tons of shops and restaurants, plus there was a little grocery store right by the metro stop that was super convenient and also like a 6 minute walk. There was some traffic noise—nothing super disruptive, though. Also, as a solo traveler, I felt very safe in the apartment and neighborhood. The apartment is very clean, updated, and perfect for 1-2 travelers. The property owner is very responsive and easy to reach if needed. I loved my stay!!! Nothing!!
• Tess (9/5): A great location and comfortable stay when in Athens. - The whole property was great! Spacious lounge and dining area. Fast wifi. Comfortable bed and pillows + everything was clean. The shower. The pressure was good but it was small and missing the door. The water would go over the floor without the door present.
• Victoria (8/5): Very good -
• Selleslagh (9/5): Very comfortable flat ideally situated - Fully furnished flat, very spacious for 2 people, beds are comfortable and it is ideally located in the historical city-center close to the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum.
• Ingrid (10/5): Exceptional - In the heart of everything. Spacious and comfortable. Well equipped and the host answered any questions quickly. Very serviceminded. Would love to come back! Everything was perfect
• Secil (10/5): Great location, very clean apartment. - Great Location.
• James (10/5): Very responsive and helpful host. Very comfortable and ideally located apartment. -
• Christoph (8/5): Very good - Location was very good Balcony was Vers small, Shower was broken
• Lisa (9/5): Superb -
• Pamela (9/5): Superb - This apartment is spacious, with a comfortable bed and pillows. It is a 4 minute walk to the Acropolis muesum, metro station, supermarket, and lots of restaurants. The entrance to the Acropolis is about 10 min walk. It has a washing machine and drying facilities on the balcony. Communication for the apartment was very good via WhatsApp. There is a lift to the apartment on the 3rd floor.
• Cobus (9/5): Superb -
• Blertina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Phil (7/5): Superb Location for all archaeological sites and the Plaka. - Brilliant location for the Acropolis and the museum - but also an easy walk to other main attractions such as the Panathenaic Stadium, Temple of Zeus and the Plaka which is good for restaurants and everything Greek. No door on the shower - but this is typical in Greek bathrooms as the water has a drain often outside of the shower as well as one inside.
• Sarah (10/5): Exceptional -
• Cristina (8/5): Highly recommend (unless you hate church bells) - very nice apartment...spacious (considering the central location) and well-furnished. Everything worked properly. It was clean and well taken care of. Location was fantastic! A fair bit of noise from the street....but not too bad considering the central location, and a good pair of earplugs took care of that.The biggest issue was the church bells going off very early in the morning on Saturday and Sunday, but I realise that the hosts can't do anything about that. I will never understand why church bells are still a thing today. Personal preference...bed was too soft for my liking. No trash bin in the bathroom...which is inconvenient if you're a female guest.
• Jeannie (9/5): All we needed to have a great visit in Athens - It was a great location. The bed was super comfortable and it was a good amount of space. We weren’t able to check in early or leave our bags at the apartment even though we could see online that it wasn’t booked before our arrival.
• Karl (10/5): Top pick in the heart of historic Athens - A wonderfully comfortable apartment in an amazingly central location super close to the Acropolis Museum and one of the main ticket entrances to the Acropolis itself. We had a small mix-up with the apartment keys but the agent was helpful and sorted out the problem, so no problem!
• Tonia (9/5): Superb -
• Teresa (8/5): A great little apartment in the perfect location. - The property was in a fantastic location, The Acropolis was within walking distance, also the restaurants and the artefacts all within walking distance.
• Harry_g (10/5): Exceptional - The location was ideal. So close to the Acropolis metro station, nice restaurants and cafés around. The apartment was fully equipped and very clean and cosy. Very quiet, comfortable, and everything calculated to provide a nice stay experience. Very difficult to find a parking slot. Nearby private parking places are closed 22:00-07:00 as well..
• Patrick (9/5): Superb -
• Ivana (10/5): A Gem in Athens - Excellent location, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bed. Everything is available near by. Check in was flawless, solid wifi, quiet neighbourhood. Everything is same as photos. Can’t praise it enough. Even though it mentions free parking on the street, there is never any space available. But considering the parking chaos in Athens it’s not the property’s fault.
• Anonymous (9/5): Awesome location and would recommend to friends. - Super clean and spacious.
• Jocelyn (10/5): Exceptional - The location was perfect. Great restaurants out the front door. Unit had everything we needed. Be very careful opening the door to the building, it is very easy to jam your fingers between the key and the door
• Lin (9/5): Great accomplishment but communication could be improved - Great location. Very spacious flat, well furnished with everything, more than we need. Very comfy bed and pillows. Very quiet in the accommodation despite being in the central location. Electric shutters. Lack of door on shower screen, spraying water over bathroom during shower. Lack of communication on needing to use the fuse switch to turn on and off water heater.
• Beata (10/5): Exceptional - Everything Nothing
• Sophie (9/5): Great central place to stay with everything you need! - Very close to everything you need and most of the main attractions, metro station etc. It was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Check in and check out was easy. No shower curtain in the bathroom
• Athanasios (6/5): Pleasant - Cosy clean apartment in the city center with all amenities as described. Noisy, old type windows and blinds. You could hear every single car and motorbike passing by. Not recommended for light sleepers
• Thomas (7/5): Very central location in Athens, comfy beds, needs a little extra love and care from the owners. - This place is at a great location, close to the main attractions of Athens. It has a comfortable bed and the hosts responded quickly. It has nice amenities like a a washing machine, very equipped kitchen, airco and a microwave oven. The place could do with a little extra love from the owners, it feels a bit neglected and worn out. The showerdoors where broken and not replaced yet, which meant showering very carefully and making the floors wet anyway. The host didn't mention this, so maybe it will stay like this? Also some old building materials in the bathroom and balcony which hadn't been taken away yet.
• Witold (8/5): A very goog place to stay and explore Athens - The most important advantage is the location. A stone's throw from the Acropolis, Acropolis Museum and subway station. There are plenty of restaurants, bars and pubs in the immediate vicinity. A very goog place to stay and explore Athens, at a very attractive price for this area of town. The apartment is well equipped, although here and there you can see signs of wear. In general, the apartment is clean and tidy. But there are minor things that do not make a good impression. In the kitchen drawers we found a few glasses dirty with juice and pan dirty with grease. Some old and dusty things were crammed into the wardrobes. Cleaning service should improve.
• Matt182 (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jan (8/5): Very good -
• Armin (9/5): Superb -
• Thomas (9/5): Nice place in the center, clean and comfortable - Really good location, nice amenities. Place was really clean, comfortable, and the AC was a solid asset as it was really hot outside :)
• Christine (10/5): Right next to the Acropolis - Everything was exactly as promised and the communication with the host was excellent. Very well equipped.
• Barbara (9/5): Lets you live like a local in comfort. - Clean, very convenient location, super comfortable bed and pillows! The host is very responsive.
• Ahmad (10/5): Exceptional - Simply exceptional Great Location near acropolis restaurants and metrostation Bog size room ,Clean , comfotable beds ,well equibbed with almost everything you will need even it contain shower bidet 😄😄😄 Thanks for everything
• Nicole (10/5): Excelent - Extremely comfortable and well equipped. Modern and super clean. We liked everything! Nothing
• David (10/5): Exceptional - great value for money, clean, comfortable, great location and excellent communication
• Susan (10/5): Comfortable, like home, but right next to the Acropolis! - Very comfortable - a home, more than a rental. Good layout and everything we needed. Washing machine, good internet, great TV, ideal location. There was a little traffic noise at night, but given the central location, that’s to be expected.
• Dhananjay (10/5): Exceptional Apartment in the heart of Athens - Extremely clean and well maintained apartment! The interiors are very tastefully done and the TV has Netflix. There is a small balcony which was a plus. This is centrally located in Athens in a safe neighbourhood where locals live. It really is a skip away from the acropolis museum as the name suggests. The Acropolis metro station as well as the Acropolis itself are just a short walk away. You can visit most of the historical landmarks as well as Plaka and Monastiraki on foot from here if you are used to walking. There are a number of eateries around. If you plan on cooking your own food, the kitchen is very well equipped with every possible utensil that you could possibly imagine. There is a grocery store with fresh vegetables, bread and fruits just across the road. There is also a mini market nearby. The host, Anna is very helpful and responsive and is available on Whatsapp and iMessage. Overall a really great stay! :) Nothing
• Tibor (9/5): Great location, very well equipped and clean apartment. - Wifi was very slow, I guess due to an really old router. It worked all the time but only at average speed around 2 mbps with high latency so OK for casual browsing or social networks, but if you're from outside EU and for example need to rely on it for doing work online or watching streaming media (BTW, on an excellent Samsung 50" SmartTV), you would be a bit disappointed.
• Ayça (10/5): The location of the house was perfect. We felt like at home. -
• Elena (10/5): exceptional stay - Probably one of the best places I stayed. It’s a one bedroom apartment, modern , equipped with everything you need , close to Acropolis . It couldn’t have been better. It exceeded my expectations. The host left some cold water in the fridge which was much appreciate it, also some coffee. really thoughtful of them . nothing
• Kiss (10/5): Best location in Athens, coffe, food, super ice cream just for steps;) and a super apartment. Love it. - Perfect, best location.
• Indre (10/5): We really enjoyed our stay - Really good location near the Acropolis museum, metro. The bus from Syntagma Square stops in front of the house door. The apartment very nice, clean, has all the necessary utensils and tools, you can cook at home, but its not necessary, because the area is full of cafes and restaurants.
• Slavicgirl (10/5): Superb. - The apartment is modern and very comfortable. It is also well-kept and clean. At night there are some typical city noises like people talking and laughing but it's normal as there are many gastronomy places along the street. Neighbours are quiet. The bed is very comfortable, orthopedic special foam pillows highly appreciated. It has every needed amenity. It's about 5mins from Akropoli metro, the bus station is also very near. Great Access to hottest eating places: Vekou street itself and Drakou street. Anna was very helpful and responsive, her assistance was essential for my stay. I highly recommend. Wasching powder instead of capsules would be better for wasching clothes. But that's just a detail. What lacked was a summer duvet apart from linens, not everybody is used to using linen only even when it's warm.
• Le (9/5): Superb -
• Ignacio (9/5): Great apartment in the centre of Athens - The location and the services
• Luca (10/5): Excellent find - Very well organized, fully equipped flat. No noise, working shades. I would come back. Nothing. It's a flat, though, so no possibility to leave the luggage for the day of checkout
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional - great location. extremely clean, excellent host
