Guest Reviews

• Helen (7/5): Fine for an overnight stay but very small for an extended trip. - Location Very small
• Monica (10/5): Vennlig og veldig behjelpelig husvert. Selvet leiligheten minner mer om hotellrom i størrelse, men perfekt for oss som f - Veldig bra lokasjon med masse spisesteder rett utenfor døra, bra utstyrt og sov veldig godt der
• Natasha (10/5): Fabulous Apartment - Everything you need to enjoy Athens! - Sylvia warmly greeted us and gave us some amazing recommendations for food and activities. We appreciated the welcome pack of snacks and even some wine and olives in the fridge. The apartment had everything we needed and paid attention to the little details -like make -up cloths, and pillows varying in firmness to make guests feel at home. It is a safe building and close to the attractions and shops. Couldn't recommend more! Nothing
• Donal (9/5): Great location and a very helpful and professional host - Good location. Great host she was very kind and helpful. Maybe could have a little bit more space. But still fine for a city break.
• Ariel (10/5): Excellent. Will come back here the next time we’re in Athens. - Very cozy, comfortable apartment with a personal touch from the host. Sylvia went above and beyond to provide us with helpful information and tips and make us feel welcome. The location is unbeatable.
• Katina (9/5): Very friendly and helpful host. Great advice on places to visit and best way to travel within Athens - Walking distance to restaurants and popular areas of Athens Tiny bathroom
• Katarina (10/5): -
• johana (9/5): Muy buen alojamiento con ubicación y limpieza - La ubicación y el personal encargado, son personas muy comprometidas en ofrecer un buen servicio encargado general No tengo queja alguna
• osama (7/5): - الموقع الحجم
• MAI (10/5): -
• Susan (10/5): Really great stay - The owner was very friendly and easy to contact. Easy walk to the Plaka lots of restaurants etc. Bed very comfortable we slept really well. Bathroom a little small but we had everything we needed, hairdryer etc
• José María (8/5): Bien ubicado y limpio - Ubicación, limpieza y comodidad Elegí habitación con balcón y practicante era una ventana grande. Tenía unos 15’ centímetros. Eso no es un balcón. No tenía cocina solo una sandwichera
• Calçada (9/5): -
• Karolina (10/5): -
• Sian (10/5): The accommodation made our stay very special. - It’s the perfect location for visiting Athens. Right in the centre and so close to all the tourist locations. Air B&B is perfect for a get away very clean and tidy. The host was so helpful and couldn’t recommend enough. She provided many recommended restaurants and information around what’s going on locally.
• Jesica (9/5): Fantastico - La ubicacion excelente, a 5 minutos o menos de la plaza syntagma, muy bien comunicado con todos los puntos culturales de la ciudad, las xonas gastronomicas y del metro. Sylvia fue excepcional, nos ayudo en todo y nos guardo ñas maletas hasta que nos marchamos. Ademas nos dejo cosas para desayunar. Una persona estupenda. La cama muy comoda y el alojamiento cuenta con todas las comodidades. Todo me gusto
• Lisa (10/5): Gem of a property in ideal Athens location. - The property was impeccably clean and in an ideal location. Everything was walkable. We never had to take a taxi. We liked everything. It was nice to have a small cooking area with a hot plate, plates, bowls, and utensils. Even oil! A microwave would have been ideal, but I know it’s Europe. One small suggestion would be to have salt and pepper and utensils for cooking like a spatula, large spoon, etc.
• John (9/5): Good place to stay in the heart of a very lively area. - The property is right in the heart of the Plaka district, it’s modern with a small balcony that opens onto a courtyard. Looks like the courtyard will be made into something someday. The room has a small half kitchen built into cupboards at one end, dishware and coffee machine sit on a small shelf between the bed and the kitchen. Some bread, croissants and coffee pods were left out for our arrival. The bathroom is pretty small but it serves it purpose. A small TV is hung of the wall opposite the bed, it’s not smart, so to watch anything like YouTube or Netflix bring your iPad. There is a security keypad to enter the building, a small lift takes you to your room. The surrounding area is chock full of places to eat and drink, Monastariki Square is about a 10-15 walk, here you’ll find a view of the Acropolis above and another sea of food places. From the room a metro station can be reached in a 5 - 10 walk, jump on a train and spend the day in Piraeus or catch a ferry to another Greek island. The owner Sylvia was very pleasant and provided all the information and tips we needed, she even sent me doctors and hospital contacts to help me with a small medical situation, I cannot fault her hospitality. Southern gate of the Acropolis is about a 15 walk from the room, a must during your stay. I have no hesitation in recommending this property for a stay. Athens is a very noisy place up until the wee hours of the morning so be prepared. Also the traffic and the crazy drivers leaves you open mouthed sometimes, they’ll park anywhere, anytime, anyhow and drive at full speed ahead.
• Georgios (10/5): -
• Müge (10/5): - Location is excellent, easy to arrive from metro and close to all attractions. Very clean room and our host Sylvia was extremely helpful in every way.
• Jacqueline (9/5): A great short stay in a lovely cosy apartment with the best host ever! - Apartment was quite small but that's to be expected in the heart of Athens. However, it was very cosy and homely and our host Sylvie was amazing. Not being able to flush toilet paper down the toilet, but apparently that's how it is all over Athens?
• Olga (9/5): -
• julie (10/5): -

• Rimi (7/5): -

• Hebert (10/5): -
• Viola (10/5): Soggiorno confortevole e proprietaria gentilissima - Monolocale in centro ad Atene a pochi passi dall’Acropoli e dalle maggiori attrazioni turistiche. L’appartamento è spazioso, accogliente, pulito, il letto molto comodo e una grande attenzione per i dettagli. Inoltre la proprietaria è gentilissima e molto disponibile, ci ha consigliato una lunga lista di ristoranti e tanto altro! Super consigliato! Si sente leggermente il rumore della strada accanto, nulla che non si possa risolvere con dei tappi per le orecchie
• Danielle (10/5): Fantastic apartment, in a beautiful city! - A Lovely little apartment between syntagma and plaka area. It’s compact but very clean and had everything we needed and more! It’s walking distance to all of the sights and areas of interest. Sylvia is a fantastic host, very welcoming and had lots of recommendations for eatery’s, sights to see and she was at the end of the phone if we needed anything. I would 100% recommend this property to stay and would stay here again.
• Jon (8/5): -

• Jill (10/5): - Sylvia was amazing in communication. Never hesitated to answer any questions i had prior to check-in and within my stay. Unfortunately, Sylvia was not there the day I arrived but sent Tammy to assist and she was wonderful. The apartment was wonderful and walking distance to everything. I will definitely stay there again when in Athens. Thank you Sylvia for a great stay.
• Mitchell (9/5): - Sylvia is the best host we have ever had. She was accommodating and had great recommendations. The room met our expectations and was centrally located within walking distance of everything in the old town. Sylvia gets a rating of 15/10. Some noise from the streets and no black out curtains so the sleep ins and midday siestas were a little difficult.
• Esmeralda (10/5): - Perfect location, close to the metro line of syntagma square - easy access to airport/ Piraeus port. Also walkable to Plaka, Monastiraki, Ermou shopping street and the Acropolis. Clean, great communication
• Anita (10/5): Great host, very friendly and helpful. Quiet location, close to attractions. Apartment exactly as in the photos. - Sylvia was a super friendly host and gave us lots of great recommendations on what to do and where to eat in Athens. The apartment is in a perfect location — on a quiet street, yet within walking distance of all the main attractions. It looked exactly like the photos, very comfortable and convenient. We totally recommend it if you’re looking for a peaceful stay close to everything in Athens.
• Georgia (10/5): Perfect studio apartment in a perfect location and a perfect host - Sylvia’s apartment was exceptional. I have nothing bad to say about this at all. The location is perfect, right in the centre of Plaka old town. We felt so safe and were close to all bars restaurants and shops. The room was stunning with a massive bed and a choice of hard of soft pillows. There was a little canopy with French doors in front of the bed which just opened the room and made it feel so fresh and summer. There was a lovely kitchenette and coffee etc with a little table/bar that had been set with dishes and some snacks left for us including biscuits, pretzels and cake. There was also water in the fridge. The bathroom was small but modern and not off putting. My partner is 6 ft 4 so he struggled a bit but it was okay for me and the shower was lovely! Sylvia herself was the nicest host and really helped us with our stay in Athens. She gave us restaurant recommendations and bars to try and even gave us an update on the acropolis opening hours as it was closing for part of the day we planned to visit. She was available on WhatsApp anytime and was there to greet us when we arrived. We had the best stay here and if we ever return to Athens which I’m sure we will, we will definitely stay here for longer :) Absolutely nothing!
• Anastasia (10/5): Perfect location and amazing apartment - Sylvia was amazing! So warm and knowledgeable. She gave us so many fantastic recommendations! The apartment is centrally located and has everything you need for an amazing stay! Can’t recommend this place enough. Just perfect, thanks so much Sylvia! Ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ!
• Bernhard (10/5): -
• Panagiota (10/5): Great host & great airbnb! would definitely recommend! Very clean!! -
• Chris (10/5): Excellent host. Perfect location would definitely recommend - Great location. Well equipped and comfortable. Excellent host Nothing
• Frampton (10/5): Exceptional - The place is small, but very well equipped and comfortable for my sister and myself. Sylvia was absolutely wonderful. Would book this place again and recommend it to anyone.
• Susan (10/5): The location is perfect - we caught the Metro train from the airport arriving at Syndagma, a short walk from the apartme -
• Tatiana (9/5): Superb -
• Lynn (9/5): Perfect 4 day stay in Athens - The location was perfect & very central to find from Syntagma Square & in the middle of everything. Sylvia was a wealth of knowledge & always available if needed. We highly recommend this property. The bath room was tiny but functional!
• Paul (9/5): Great location in Plaka - The location of the apartment was great and having a lift to access the floor was handy. Sylvia was a wonderful host and was happy to answer any questions and suggest local attractions and restaurants. Everything was great except for the TV. It didn't really affect us as the WiFi worked fine. We could only pick up a few local TV stations, and none were English speaking. A smart TV with YouTube access would have been good so we could access our local Australian content. We would definitely stay here again should we return to Athens.
• Wendy (9/5): An excellent choice at a very reasonable price! Thank you very much Silvy!. - We had a great stay at Sylvia’s and highly recommend it as a base in Athens. The location is fabulous close to the attractions and great food options. Bed was really comfortable and there were coffee and tea with biscuits provided. Everything we needed was provided with the host very available and providing great suggestions to make our stay perfect. We were happy with everything. I note a couple of reviews mentioned small bathroom so I will address this. We are an average sized couple and it worked for us. If you are large you will find the bathroom squeezy.
• David (8/5): Small comfortable apartment on first floor, centred around Plaka, clean and very comfortable. - Sylvia the host is brilliant and made us feel very welcome and made some great recommendations. Kept in touch regularly to make sure everything was ok. Security with an apartment safe would have been more reassuring.
• Rodney (8/5): Enjoyed our stay at Sylvia"s - Location was excellent near the Acropolis and plenty of restaurants nearby. Sylvia gave us plenty of suggestions for good food which we experienced. I'm not used to small apartment living so I found it a bit cramped but that just me. The apartment was clean and comfortable. Like a lot of accommodation there is not enough areas for your clothing I.e shelves and hanging space
• Francis (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely spot in perfect location. Sylvia went above and beyond to cater to our every need. Great restaurants all about, and easy walking distance to major attractions. Didn't have more time.
• Helen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Helen (9/5): Had a wonderful time at Sylvia’s. She met us on arrival and was very helpful. Gave us tips on restaurants and we could c - Location, close to transport, Plaka, Acropolis etc
• Siti (8/5): Very good - The apartment is strategically located within walking distance to all places of interest with lots of food options all around. So it was easy to get around athen city on foot and even to catch the hop on hop off buses. Sylvia gave quite a lot of good restaurant recommendations which we tried ourselves. The room size was smaller than I expected, especially the toilet, shower cubicle. But for 2 pax, the apartment size is just enough for us to open out luggages.
• Abdullah (10/5): Exceptional -
• Catherine (9/5): Great stay in central Athens - Great location, clean, comfortable bed. Very nice host! Bathroom a little bit small but it was not a problem for us.
• Boğaçhan (10/5): Best place in Athens - We definitely recommend this apartment. You can go easily everywhere. It is right in the center; you can easily walk to touristic spots. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants around, but the street is quiet. There is very little noise from outside. The building is safe, the apartment is very clean. There is everything you need (There is both a coffee machine and a Nespresso machine). The air conditioner heats very well, the internet is very good. The bathroom is very compact. Hot water is ready in 5 minutes. The owner of the apartment, Sylvia, is a very caring and helpful person. She makes you feel comfortable and safe. When we had questions, she quickly responded and found solutions. She gave us a lot of advice about the city. If we come to Athens again, we will stay here. Nothing
• Irina (10/5): Exceptional - Located in the central area, close to shops, restaurants, metro station. The apartment was very clean and comfy and Sylvia is such a nice and welcoming person.
• George (8/5): Satisfied. - Centrally located. Very professional guidance to access room. Noisy due to vicinity to main, busy street

• Morgan (9/5): Would love to stay again, incredible price. - The location is everything. Everything was so walkable. Apartment was clean, felt safe and our host was fantastic.

The host Sylvia was exceptional, had snacks, coffee and water for us and gave us a list of recommendations of places to eat, etc. She also arranges pick up service to and from the airport which is very convenient and for a great price.

• Fiona (9/5): Fantastic location, comfortable, clean and quiet! - So close to the main attractions. Everything is within a 10 minute walk. Really interesting neighbourhood with loads of history to trip over! Lots of places to eat. Touristy but fun to wander around. The bed was really comfy and the room was a good size . I was surprised at how quiet it was given the location. Sylvia was an excellent host. She made me feel welcome, gave me some good ideas about what to do and was quick to answer any questions/ queries I had. I would definitely recommend.
• Zsófia (9/5): Superb - Location is perfect - Acropolis is just 10 minutes walk. Sylvia was answering really quickly and she was helpful. Air Condition is a big win, in this heatwave period. This is a budget friendly place, value versus price is good. We had very nice 3 days in Athen. Bathroom is a little bit tiny, hot water is not instant.You should turn it on. Kitchen could be better equipped.
• Wang (10/5): Excellent accommodation in Athens - Helpful room owner and good air conditionor Nothing

I will be back with more time. If you want to stay in the best place of Athens .. go ahead!! Cannot say that something was bad because everything was perfect I use to travel a lot and I can assure you.. this is perfect Coffee machine air conditioning tv etc
• Julia (10/5): Perfect location in Plaka and nicest host! - Very nice place for two people. We stayed for only one night for a quick visit in Athens before travelling by ferry to one of the islands. Clean and very nice apartment, with all necessary facilities. Perfect located in beautiful Plaka, but still a peaceful/quiet area. Easy access to the subway/trains to go to the ferry harbour (tools used about 5 minutes to walk to the station and 20 minutes with the subway). It was also very close to the bus stop (we took the bus from the airport , which took about 1 hour with bus X95, I believe it was called). Unfortunately our checked-in bag was lost at the airport back home in Sweden so we were very stressed about our situation of getting our bag before leaving with the ferry the next day. Our host Sylvia was a true sweetheart and offered all kinds of support, which was much appreciated! She also did a great job with communicating before our arrival and also during our stay. She sent us her personal recommendations for where to eat, wine bars etc. We only had time to try one of them but it was the best meal (and very affordable) we had during our one week trip in Greece! Would definitely book this place again, and I have already recommended it to two other couples that asked us about our stay in Athens. The bathroom was a bit small, which really didn’t bothered us, but there were some marks on the ceiling that might need to be checked out.
• Diane (7/5): Good -
• Peter (10/5): Outstanding host! She was there 10 minutes after I called her! Would highly recommend ! - Excellent location!
• Lynette (10/5): Lovely short break in Athens - Lovely apartment. Little touches were fab. Sylvia was a fabulous host. Communication was excellent. Apartment location was fab. Sylvia went over and above to make our stay excellent. Nothing
• Steele (10/5): Perfect location for Athens sightseeing - Great location - the apartment is on the edge of the Plaka and 5 minutes walk to Syntagma metro line. Sylvia is an exceptional host and met us on arrival and provided lots of tips and recommendations for our stay.
• Antoine (10/5): Exceptional -
• Daniel (9/5): Superb - Lovely welcome from Sylvia. Excellent location. Got some great recommendations from Sylvia. Comfortable bed. Would stay here again. Traffic noise might be an issue for a light sleeper.
• Travellingpunk (10/5): Exceptional - Great coffee machine, clean and comfortable apartment, nice host, all the necessities are there. Good bed and shower.
• Thanos (10/5): Perfect, cozy apartment in the heart of Athens. Close to commercial streets and archeological sites. - I only booked the accommodation 30-40 mins before our arrival. Sylvia texted me the moment I confirmed the booking and she met us to hand over the apartment's key and explain everything. She also provided lots of recommendations for coffee shops, restaurants and other things to do. The apartment is just 2 minutes walking distance from Ermou Street and 5 minutes either from Syntagma (metro access as well) or Plaka. Location is perfect for someone who wants to explore Athens.
• Victoria (10/5): Thank you for your kindness! - I received such a warm welcome. Immediately greeted with smiles and recommendations. Even after leaving, Sylvia said to keep in touch if I needed anything whilst here. So kind! For a solo traveller, this makes such a difference to a trip. Property was really well taken care of. Really comfortable and had everything you could need. The location was perfect! Could walk to everything, easily. So many restaurants and tavernas nearby to choose from yet is a residential area.
• Periklis (8/5): Very good - Sylvia is polite and very helpful. The room is near the metro station and in the heart of the city centre. The coffee machine was not clean. There were residues in the water container. Also the dish sponge probably had been used a lot of times.
• Laura (6/5): good value for money if you want to stay in a central apartment with a new bathroom - clean, central it smelled like cigarettes- it’s allowed to smoke inside (ashtray provided) it was noisy from the street. mold next to shower
• Rinat (10/5): Exceptional - Sylvia is the best! Great apartment and great location.
• Tolga (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and tidy room by including new equipments. Location is the center of Plaka and you are able to reach each famous place easily. Special thanks to Slyvia for her kind hospitality. Almost nothing.
• David (9/5): A delightful mini-apartment in a perfect location, perfectly clean and tidy with lots of extra unexpected detail and ext - Very well located in Plaka with absolutely everything we needed to stay long term but never got to use because there was so much to do and see in our fathered days. Sylvia was so helpful and provided excellent advice, everything worked perfectly and there were so many little unexpected extras like coffee pods for the Nespresso, orange juice and snacks to get us going. The facilities were perfectly clean and well presented. We highly rate this place, it was a delight and I’m sorry we couldn’t stay longer. Nothing
• Stella (10/5): Exceptional - Central, comfort & clean
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - The property is located right in the heart of Athens, within walking distance from the biggest attractions in the city. Very clean and well organized. Sylvia is an amazing host she gave ua all the tips we needed.
