Guest Reviews

• Frederick (9/5): A comfortable place in a scenic and convenient location — we’ll be back! - Great location: a bit busy but nice for people watching from the balcony! Nespresso maker and kitchen also very convenient. Host is very caring and responsive. Property is mostly perfect! Shower is small/short for a 6’2” man but beds are nice and apartment is roomy.
• Tracey (9/5): Wonderful Central apartment that was very comfortable and clean. - This apartment is so central and ideally located to see so many beautiful sights of Athens. I am so happy I booked this apartment for our wonderful family weekend break.

• JUAN GABRIEL (10/5): 100% recomendable. Si volvemos a Atenas, sin duda reservaríamos en este mismo lugar. Linda experiencia, saludos desde Ch - La ubicación cerca de todo caminando. A 10 minutos caminando de la entrada a Acrópolis y la preocupación de Lina, quien estuvo atenta siempre a nuestras dudas . Todo Ok, aunque alguna pequeña mejora estética al baño mejoraría aún más lo bueno del departamento.
• Lynnette (10/5): -
• Teresa (10/5): Extremely enjoyable stay - Fantastic location. 3 minute walk to The Acropolis and Pantheon. View of the Acropolis from the balcony. Can see the balcony from the Acropolis. Amongst restaurants and shopping. Nice spacious apartment. Could have a better variety of utensils. Definitely need a wine opener and wine glasses.

• Paola (9/5): Al centro della Plaka - Al centro di Atene praticamente vicina a tutto senza bisogno di prendere i mezzi. La casa è comoda e spaziosa ed anche molto luminosa con affaccio sulla deliziosa piazzetta e sulla via del passeggio.Gli infissi sono ottimamente insonorizzati e con avvolgibili elettrici molto comodi.Con aria condizionata nelle camere e nel salone ottima.Ottimo anche il wifi.Al primo piano con poche scale. Molto utile anche la lavatrice posizionata nel bagno. Casa senza cianfrusaglie inutili,letti nuovi e comodi e cucina nuova attrezzata anche di microonde e frigo grande con congelatore.Per quanto riguarda l'attrezzatura per cucinare siamo messi un po' male... Pentole praticamente inesistenti ( 1 pentola grande e una padella )come pure la coltelleria,la posateria i mestoli e i piccoli utensili(cavatappi,forbici, apriscatole etc...) Bicchieri praticamente inesistenti e piatti sufficienti ma nessun altro tipo di contenitore. Punti luce sufficienti anche se, secondo me,mancano delle piccole luci su i comodini,ce n'è solo una. Il bagno è abbastanza spazioso e comodo ma piuttosto vecchio e poco funzionale (vasca da bagno) sarebbe molto meglio una doccia. Un solo armadio,da rimettere un po' in sesto in una delle camere,ma molto grande e funzionale,mancano,a mio vedere,degli attaccapanni da posizionare nell'ingresso. Comunque siamo stati magnificamente e ringrazio i conduttori per quanto fatto per noi.... speriamo di poter ritornare presto!
• Angela (10/5): Great location - The best location, right in the centre of Plaka, over looking an ancient monument and a restaurant. So close to the Acropolis. Lovely roomy apartment Bathroom not clean
• Luis miguel (9/5): -
• Nicholas (10/5): - Ideal location!! Walking distance to the main attractions. Had 2 bedrooms. Nice views of the Acropolis.
• Nabil (8/5): Great location and quaint building in the heart of Plaka - The location is outstanding and the place is spacious The bathroom needs updating … it has low ceiling and just not very accommodating
• Kalliope (10/5): Amazing location. -
• Anne Sophie (4/5): -
• Mónica (10/5): good location, clean and well equipped - We were only able to stay for a short time, just one night, but everything looked good. Very good location, complete and comfortable. N
• Neema (1/5): - Almost everything about the booking was great. Except, bed bugs. I have bites all over my body that are consistent with bed bugs, and I've found evidence of it on my clothes as well. This has soured my view of Diogenis' Jug.
• Annita (9/5): Superb - Great location, great to watch people go by. Spacious apartment for Athens has everything we needed. Clean The flight of stairs - although this was known prior to booking.
• James (8/5): Very good -
• Søren (10/5): Beautiful apartment in the middle of Plaka - Perfect location for exploring historic Athens and the Acropolis. In the middle of it all and yet quiet and cozy. Within walking distance from all main attractions. Amazing balcony with morning sun and afternoon shade
• James (9/5): Good sized apartment which was great for our short stay in Athens - Absolutely fantastic location with a view of the Acropolis and Choragic Monument of Lysicrates. Balcony was incredible. Please be aware that there is major building work on the adjacent building. This did not bother us because we were out most of the time. There was no early morning or evening activity on the building site.
• David (9/5): Great value apartment in awesome location if you’re after functional stay, not luxury - The location was perfect. Right in the middle of all the action, close to quaint streets, great restaurants everywhere the balcony overlooked a main thoroughfare with few vehicles and on the corner of a small monument and reserve. It was an easy and quite flat 10 min walk from Akropolis train station. The south entrance to the Acropolis was only a few mins away and all of the major ancient attractions and other nice areas are all within a 10-15 min stroll. The apartment itself, although advertised as a one bedroom apartment, is really a two bed apartment. Appears a dining room was converted into second bedroom with glass doors and sliding doors (if they worked) and with double glazed windows and shutters in bedroom windows (other lounge room shutters not working). But overall, the apartment was excellent value for money and in an awesome location, but accept that an older place and some things need a little TLC. Nice to have a washing machine too. You have to accept being in such a great location, does come with some pedestrian noise and some vehicle noise (and when they need to pump sewers on the road outside at 5am one morning), but double glazing and shutters help. Being an older place, you have to accept a few doors don’t close properly, or don’t slide closed, or very sticky and the bathroom is a bit basic and could use a Reno. Also a strange quirk required for hot water to turn the boiler fuse on for 30 mins prior to needing a shower - should be in check-in message instructions, given printed manual was hidden in TV cabinet. There was also no hairdryer when we stayed (not the owners fault and she was addressing after w we left, but we also had a water leak from above the ceiling which kept the bathroom floor constantly wet, an inconvenience but being fixed).
• Ivana (8/5): Very good - Incredible location, the apartment is comfortable and very practical. The shower was not great and wifi very slow.
• Pui (8/5): We would recommend to anyone, location is good and have 2 bedroom to fit in 4 people perfectly. - The location is unbeatable, lots of restaurants and shop nearby The ventilation of the bathroom is poor as we go in winter so lots of steam in the room after shower, wet and damp. The WiFi is poor so we use our own data plan.
• Orit (9/5): Superb - Perfect location. the apartment is very clean, comfortable, and spacious. The kitchen is well accessorized. The bathroom could use a little maintenance (but still very clean). The apartment is on the 1st floor, need to climb some steps with luggage.
• Nidia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Robert (9/5): Superb - amazing location - right in the heart of Plaka and very close to the entrance to the Acropolis and just off the main Plaka shopping street with close by car access - the balcony overlooks a square with restaurants - fantastic place to enjoy an afternoon wine and watching the world go by
• Fiona (9/5): Awesome location. Great to watch the world go by. -
• Sarah (10/5): Exceptional - Location!!
• Luca (8/5): Very good -
• Adel (9/5): Superb - Location is great Owner was very responsive The apartment was clean
• Adrian (10/5): Exceptional - The location was perfect. In the heart of Plaka. The facilities were very useful, and the owner was very generous enough to provide complimentary chocolates and drinks for our first time in Athens. We absolutely loved it. Would recommend!
• Danielle (8/5): A gem in Plaka - The apartment was comfortable, and the location was amazing! We will definitely be coming back!
• Nicole (9/5): Great location, clean, comfortable and adorable in the heart of Athens - This accommodation was in an amazing location, on the most beautiful street. It was a 2 min walk to the base of Acropolis and museum and 5 min to walk into the centre of Athens. Air conditioning kept the home cool all day even in 38oC heat. Our host organised an airport transfer which was well worth it. Communication was fantastic and we would stay again. Everything was fabulous, if we had one small tiny complaint it would be the shower head in the shower which wasn’t fixed to the wall , but when in Greece you just go with the flow .
• Steve (10/5): good place, good area, cafe at the entrance - the accommodation is in a perfect location, in a very nice area, all attractions are easily accessible, local attractions are a 5-minute walk from the market
• Krista (10/5): Exceptional - I love being in the heart of Plaka! Sitting on the balcony and listening to all the chatter of people and hustle and bustle of nearby cafes. The location is fantastic for walking to all the sites. It's a beautiful space featuring two beds, one being added to the dining area with sliding doors for privacy. I've now stayed here twice, once for two weeks. I will continue to book this apartment whenever in Athens. I would live here if I could! The apartment building can be noisy with echoing sounds of other tenants. This does not bother me, however, may be bothersome to others. Particularly at night. I would recommend earplugs or lots of ouzo. It's also important to note that the apartment is up a flight of stairs so may not be suitable for those with mobility challenges. While the kitchen has all the necessary appliances, it lacks some cookware. However, Akis Ready Made Meals can be picked up at the local AB grocery store, fruits and vegetables from across the road, nearby bakeries, and the multiple cafes and restaurants nearby will ensure you will never go hungry. This is Plaka, after all!
• Tanya (9/5): Superb -
• Maya (9/5): Very pleasant, everything was as expected. - Nice apartment in prime location, we arrived very late and only for a night. There is a bar outside, so imagine it gets busy and noisy on weekends. Nothing.
• Michelle (8/5): Great central location but Wi-Fi needs attention - Excellent location with good facilities Wi-Fi was extremely poor and TV was not connected to the broadband (no cable, however advertised as available)
• Bonnie (9/5): Would stay again. Beautiful balcony to have a coffee in the morning. - Very good location right in Plaka, felt very safe walking around alone. Close to nice restaurants and shops as well. All facilities were great for the 5 of us. One of the double beds wasn’t very comfortable. The bottom had slumped a bit.
• Charles (5/5): Location was great but facilities needs updated - The location No Wi Fi, windows blinds not working, not clean
• Charles (5/5): Good location but need update - Location Poor Facilities, no WiFi, poor cleaning
• Rebecca (9/5): Great central apartment - Great central location with balcony. Easy to access and good communication from the host.
• Peter (7/5): Good -
• Constandina (3/5): The location was good, however the hosts were horrible at attending to sanitary needs/health hazard! - I liked the location and the size of apartment The shower curtain was filthy and had pubic hair on it. The garbage with soiled tissue was never picked up. Hosts were not good at responding and dealing with above mentioned issues.
• Pabst (8/5): Very good - The location was fantastic and the porch was amazing. The property was updated and clean. The A/C was efficient and overall it was a great place to relax. The property was a bit difficult to locate. it took quite a bit of searching to locate the building, but the owner was responsive and was able to give us directions eventually. We also had difficulty with the Wi-Fi and we’re not at the location long enough to figure it out. Overall it was still a great place
• Sophie (10/5): Can highly recommend! - Amazing location and beautiful balcony overlooking the streets below There was no fan in the bathroom
• Betsy (6/5): Great location, don’t leave keys in apartment, angry neighbor next door. - The location is great! Upon leaving, we were told to leave the keys in the apartment on the table, which we did. The front lobby door was locked and required the key to exit, but when we tried to get it, the apartment door locked automatically. We were locked in the lobby for almost an hour before we started ringing the neighbors doorbells. The direct neighbor finally answered and yelled at us that the tenants here get locked in every single time and she’s tired of dealing with it. We barely made our flight and didn’t get a response from calling or messaging the host for over 2 hours.
• Stephanie (8/5): Very good - great location basically sound proof no soap no shower/wash products blinds in lounge room broken
• Sebastien (1/5): Disappointing experience - The only good point to mention is the location which is quite central Quite a few … The property was not clean in general in particular the bathroom was disgusting with black mold fungus the joints & shower curtain and grease all over the bathtub, the floors and the kitchen ustensiles. We had to scrub and clean everything before daring taking a shower and using the kitchenware. The bathroom had many pieces damaged (soap dish, the hanger shower head) or missing (WC seat lap, sink tap) The shutters of the living room were out of order which was annoying for the guests sleeping in the living room and in bedroom next to it as there is only a glass door separating both spaces. The permanent strong streets lights did not allow proper rest for those sleeping in that area of the flat. We did ask the property manager/owner about it after self checking ourselves but we did not receive any response. The internet is quite slow and work on intermittent basis. Ten quilts in both bedrooms were stained The place is not exactly as advertised as reparations are required
• Krista (10/5): Exceptional -
• Olga (10/5): Exceptional - I’d like to thank Irakli and the lady who was in charge of apartment to make it neat and clean! it was the best apartment that we could pick. You won’t get wrong if you book this apartment. is it in center of Athena and the view is just stunning!!! Thanks for everything, we won’t forget. Olga
• Tim (9/5): Amazing location, simple and elegant flat with a view of Plaka and the Acropolis. - The location of this flat is simply amazing, with a view of the acropolis and everything we could ever need within seconds of our doorstep. The flat itself is relatively simple but sufficient and comfortable. The host was easily available by phone when we arrived. He helped with making sure we got in alright and was ever available throughout the stay. More than that, he wen out of his way to make sure we were not stranded in Athens when a snow storm hit, and helped find emergency accommodation (Thank you, Hercule!). We parked out rental on a quiet cut-de-sac (possibly in a no-parking zone, but w/o a ticket) behind the house, which was also super practical. Bring your own cork screw to open a bottle of wine, if you re sol inclined. Other than that, everything was perfect for us.
• Konstantina (8/5): Very good - Perfect location!
• Norfor (8/5): Very good -
• Moran (10/5): Exceptional -
• Clare (9/5): amazing location, great little balcony in Plaka district to watch crowds walk by. close to everything - amazing location in centre of Plaka district. short walking distance to attractions and metro. property was clean, airy, well appointed kitchen. nil
• Lexie (7/5): Great location and the balcony is great for people watching! - Great location, about a block from the Acropolis Everything was great but the shower needs a new shower head or something to attach it higher to the wall. We had to hold the shower head to have a shower, wasn’t a huge deal
• Andrea (1/5): Only - Absolutely nothing. Diana. They are a terrible host. Was also not a fan of the mold in the shower, pubic hair on the floors, crumby table, the electricity spontaneously going out, and the dirty cups in the cupboards. Also, be sure to not leave any personal items of value behind. Diana will try to sell them in their souvenir shop. You have been warned.
• Mariah (10/5): Excellent location, friendly host, really lovely little spot that we would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Plaka. - Excellent location, friendly host, really lovely little spot that we would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Plaka.
