Guest Reviews
- Dean (8/5): -
- Nicola (1/5): Mai più! - Nulla Blatte e insetti vari in camera. Bisogna tenere gli scarichi e le finestre chiuse.
- Bianka (10/5): Tökéletes. Ajánlom. - Nagyon szép és tiszta volt. A belváros 10 perc sétára volt. A host, Maria mindig elérhető volt, gyors volt Vele a kommunikáció.
- Chakrane (8/5): Es muy buen sitio pero podría estar un poco más limpio - El alojamiento estaba muy cerca de todos los puntos importantes que hay que visitar, entre 10 y 20 minutos según el sitio, hay supermercados, restaurantes y tiendas en los alrededores. Disponía de lavadora y una cocina completa con microondas, horno y lavavajillas. La anfitriona respondía rápido y no puso pegas a peticiones que le habíamos hecho, sitio bastante cómodo. Aunque superficialmente estaba limpio, en sitios como debajo de la cama o en los armarios inferiores de la cocina se notaba falta de limpieza de hace al menos 1 mes, olía mucho a humedad y tuvimos encontrones no deseados con cucarachas en sitios en los que no desearías encontrarte. La dueña nos dijo que hacían tratamientos una vez al mes, así que supongo que depende de tu suerte.
- FRANCISCO JAVIER (7/5): Tensa - La ubicación. Dispone de todo tipo de utensilios. La existencia de cucarachas en el mismo. En la primera noche sentí como una de ellas recorría mi mano mientras dormía. Posteriormente siguieron apareciendo. No se solucionó el problema durante los días que estuvimos.
- Piet (7/5): - Dicht bij het uitgaansleven! Hygiëne!
- EMANUELA (8/5): - La posizione centrale ottima per visitare la città, noi ci siamo mossi senza mezzi ma solo a piedi. Il boiler della doccia permette di fare la doccia calda a tutti. Il divano letto è davvero scomodo.
La pulizia non è perfetta, dentro un cassetto della cucina abbiamo trovato sporcizia lasciata dagli ospiti precedenti.
- Keith (9/5): Thissio - The appartment was very well equipped with washing/drier & comfortable. In a very good position. Clean, quiet. The shower needs full attention.
- Tilly (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing! This property has everything you need for a comfortable stay in Athens. The neighbourhood is super safe and quiet. 5 minute walk and you can see the Acropolis! Plenty of restaurants, bars, shops nearby. Well equipped with everything you need for cooking, cleaning etc. Very spacious too. Maria is a wonderful host very attentive too! Thank you
- Mike (9/5): Excellent Apartment - Highly Recommend - Maria was an excellent host. She provided clear instructions and the apartment was central and easy to find. Suited my needs and had access to washing machine, shower and TV. Adequate coffee was provided and there was refrigerated water on arrival. The towels and bedding felt damp on arrival. However they dried quite quickly the following day.
- Daniel (9/5): Superb -
- Majella (10/5): Recommend staying here - Proximity to walk to many places.
- Paz (8/5): Good apartment - Location is fantastic and the apartment is comfortable for a couple. The terrace is a big plus. The shower wasn’t working properly.
- Paulina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wing (9/5): Excellent host and lovely apartment - Maria was a great host. She provided plenty of information about Athens and the area we were staying in way ahead of us arriving at the apartment. She was very detailed in the checking in and checking out process, and was responsive in answering our questions.
The apartment is cute and modern. Has all the facilities we needed and feels comfortable enough for two people. It was also fairly central and was easy to get to from the city centre. We really enjoyed our time staying here :)
- Matt (8/5): Very good -
- Anna (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, beautiful and clean apartment. Very kind and helpful host!She really helped us to make our stay comfortable and special! 🙏❤️
- Dóra (10/5): Very good! - The accommodation is in a great location. The subway is a 10-minute walk away, and the agora and the acropolis are an 8-minute walk away. There is an excellent bakery at the end of the street and several convenience stores at the cross street. Safe environment, clean place.
- Sean (10/5): Perfect location to explore - Great location just 5 minutes walk from ancient sites and with lots of restaurants, cafes and bars very close by. We had a very good stay and will look to stay here again if we return to Athens
- Paula (7/5): Good -
- Tara (1/5): Definitely not worth your money - I only liked the location 1. The place is advertised as a 1-bdrm. Not true, it is a small studio. Very small for a family of 4. None of the pictures show how small the room would be once the sofa in the picture is used as a second bed.
2. The building and the unit smell like mold and smoke
3. On our first night we had a cockroach in the room
4. The beds are very uncomfortable
We left after our first night seeing the cockroach problem and the owner would not refund us for the two nights we paid and couldn’t stay.
- Kaspar (9/5): Superb -
- Mariami (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carlos (4/5): Great location, disappointing cleanliness - - The host was very friendly and easy to talk with. She messaged me on WhatsApp and comms were perfect, with detailed instructions for key collection, including videos.
- The flat decoration is nice.
- The flat location is superb, close to restaurants, mini markets, and within walking distance to Acropolis. - The flat cleanliness was the most disappointing factor. The flat had a fairly strong mold odor and the floor and surfaces were not clean. During our stay, lots of cockroachs started to appear (dead and alive). We tried to use the toaster in our second day, but the mold odor coming from it when it after heating was just unbearable and the mold odor from kitchen cabinet was also very strong. In the end, we couldn't use the kitchen utensils and had to eat out every day in our stay (which is something we try to avoid when traveling on budget). I was quite surprised, given the other reviews are relatively good on the flat cleanliness, so I'm not sure why we had such a poor experience.
- The main spring bed was quite uncomfortable and we just couldn't use the sofa bed because it incredibly hard and it was impossible to stay on it for over 30 min, so our 6 years old son had to sleep in our bed.
- The shower drain was clogged, so we had to keep stopping the shower water to wait for the water to go down.
- Jakob (9/5): Would go here again - The location was wonderful and the apartment didn't need anything. Beds could be a little better.
- Ioseb (10/5): Exceptional -
- Leanne (10/5): Great location , easy walking distance to all the must sees. - Location is great, the apartment was spotlessly clean and has everything you need

- Eurwyn (10/5): Great value for its location - Really good location, 10 mins walk from park, and station, 20 mins to acropolis,
Good area with shops, and an excellwnt patisserie called Olivers 5 mins down the road.
Netflix available, so ideal for out of sun afternoon breaks.
Modern apartment, really clean.ans the owner gave a lot of help and advice. The air con not as cold as it can be, however with 4 in the apartment, it had to work hard.
- Elizabeth (8/5): Very good - Location Air conditioning didn't work which was disappointing as it was 38 degrees in Athens
Ironing board and clothes airer were broken
