Guest Reviews

• Bruen (7/5): The stay was good, because we spent most of the day roaming Athens. - The property is very conveniently located. It is only 50 meters from the Plaka. The room was extremely small. it was difficult to unpack.
• Amrita (1/5): Far from a 4 star stay - Undoubtedly the location is the highlight for this property and Yiannis was prompt to communicate with, for which we are grateful. Issues encountered: - black mould in the bathroom on the ceiling and tiles - Toilet is unusable unless you sit side angle on (I believe this is a known issue but due to plumbing restrictions in an old building cannot be fixed) - Cupboard and bathroom vanity smelt damp - Minimal circulation of air or sunlight in the room so very stale and mouldy smell - Basic amenities missing such as shampoo, conditioner or body lotion - Overall very rundown condition of the room I raised these concerns with Yiannis who respectfully offered two solutions: 1. to clean the black mould the same day or 2. for us to check out and find another accommodation in which case he would refund us the remaining stay. As tourists we all know it’s not possible to find a decent accommodation on the same day and when you have tours booked for sightseeing, neither solutions are practical. His offer of cleaning the black mould addressed one of the several issues but not the others, which were dismissed. We were hoping for a change of room but this was not possible due to other bookings. I requested if as a gesture of goodwill, we could receive a partial refund and stay one further night as the property was not to the agreed condition of what was advertised and we could not find accommodation so quickly. However, I was advised that this is not possible as this is against company policy. No other solution or gesture of goodwill was offered as in Yiannis’ view the solutions provided were enough, though I clearly communicated they were not suitable to our schedule for the day. Personally, I’d recommend pay a bit more and stay in a cleaner place that is mould and dampness free. Communal areas were very run down and overall a nasty stay for what is a very beautiful city.
• Marine (8/5): Simple et efficace - Très bon emplacement, petit logement simple et efficace. Très bonne communication avec le gérant, disponible et souriant ! Solution pour nos bagages avant le départ, impeccable. Rien à dire sur la propreté, c'était très bien. Le matelas et le coussin étaient vraiment trop durs pour nous. Les toilettes sont particulièrement étroits. Le logement manque un peu d'aération également, mais le tout était correct pour le prix, nous sommes satisfaits.
• Ingeborg (6/5): Perfect location in Plaka - Perfect location to explore Plaka. Gracious and very responsive host. No windows and direct light, in the back of the building with a door to a small patio between buildings, felt a bit claustrophobic to us.
• nicola (8/5): - Location perfect.
• Isabelle (9/5): -
• pascale (8/5): Un séjour agréable à Athènes, à proximité immédiate de l’acropole - L’emplacement Pas de fenêtre et très sombre
• Nanni (10/5): -
• Rosa (9/5): - La ubicacion I aprecciate a some bags of te or Coffee and salt. Another thing: the socks and personal clothes was very dificult to dry.
• Pierre (10/5): Logement très bien placé, hôte très agréable et toujours disponibles avec de très bonnes adresses je recommande ! - Proche de tous les monuments et des commodites Rien
• John (4/5): Very disappointing - Location Site is advertised as an apartment; it is not! It is a renovated small room. The room was old, not cleaned, the toilet was almost unusable because it was so tiny, a wall clock that did not work, very little room to hang clothing, no chairs, the door to the unit should have been replaced years ago. The reverse cycle air conditioner was leaking water. The bedside ledges were falling off the wall. There was no change of linen/towels in 4 days! No table or ledge to accommodate suitcases. In short, I would give this place a very wide berth if travelling to Athens. The one saving grace was the excellent location. Additionally, the landlord was most helpful.
• Zsuzsanna (10/5): - Csodás helyen, mindenhez közel, nyugalom, kényelem. Sok helyen jártunk Athénban de mindig megjegyeztük, hogy nekünk milyen szuper helyen van a szállásunk! Yannis egy szuper fazon! Mindent elmondott, mit érdemes megnézni, nagyon készséges ember! Már a foglalás pillanatában felvette velünk a kapcsolatot! Jól felszerelt szállás, légkondicionáló nagyon hasznos volt! Nem volt ilyen.
• LAURA (9/5): -
• Tímea (10/5): -
• Maria Esperanza (3/5): - Nada El olor La humedad. El somier . Cojines La cocina En general no me gustó nada .
• eleonora (9/5): Consigliato! - Posizione eccellente, ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Yiannis, il nostro host, davvero gentile e disponibilissimo! L'appartamento era molto carino e dotato di tutto il necessario, bar e taverne a pochi metri. Lo consiglio vivamente!!!
• Lumbreras (7/5): Semana para recordar en Atenas - Lo mejor que tiene el apartamento es la ubicación, muy cerca de todo. Sin embargo el apartamento que estuvimos planta baja tiene sus deficits esta restaurado pero es muy oscuro da a un patio interior pequeñísimo , el wc demasiado pequeño, no tenía cafetera ni tostadora ni neflix como anuncian en la página. Otra cosa que no anuncian es como esta el portal ,en obras y entero levantado que te da mal cuando entras y lo ves. Por lo demás, no vimos a nadie, si tuvimos contacto por email con el anfitrion y muy amable .

• maria (8/5): ubicación genial, precio muy caro -
• Eren (9/5): - Oda temizdi ev sahibi çok güler yüzlü çok yardımcı biriydi konum olarak gezilecek tarihi tüm yerlere yürüme mesafesinde şehir merkezindeydi
• Shah (9/5): Excellent host! Yainnis was very helpful. Whenever we sent him a message, he promptly replied. - Surely the location is excellent in the heart of the Plaka! Finding the property was a bit difficult for a first time visitors.
• Naomi (9/5): Great location, central to everything and quiet at night! - Excellent location. Central to everything but quiet and cozy! The place had everything we needed for a comfy stay - hair dryer and iron were available, which was nice. Plenty of hot water and comfy bed! Could use some small repairs. The shelves for nightstands were coming out of the wall, and the toilet is installed far away from the back wall, leaving very little room between the toilet seat and the wall in front of you. Not a problem for tiny people, but I imagine if you’re tall or large, you’d have to sit sideways. This may be a plumbing issue and not fixable but it was odd.
• Gábor (8/5): Suitable for 3-4 nights - Perfect location, everything is in 10-15 minutes on foot. The apartment is clean. Perfect for 3-4 nights if you don't plan to stay in the apartment for half days. Suspiciously old blankets in the wardrobe, nightstands (shelves) are a bit crooked, lack of connector in the bathroom (or I was just blind basically :))
• Pearl (9/5): - The place is comfortable and very well located. We walked to pretty much everything we wanted to see and experience in Athens.
• Mihailidis (9/5): - Great Location
• Nora Maria (10/5): Lugar perfecto por su ubicación - Excelente ubicación !!! Ruidosa, cama incómoda para mi gusto.
• jamie (8/5): - Yannis (I believe that was his name) was always on hand via WhatsApp if you require anything. He really does do everything he can to ensure you have a great stay. The property is very authentic..
• Simarro González (10/5): - Estar en el centro de atenas
• O'Donoghue (10/5): Fantastic mini break in Athens, where everything was on our doorstep. - The location was amazing and the host, Yiannis, was incredibly helpful. Nothing!
• Thompson (10/5): If this isn’t booked, BOOK IT NOW! We were welcomed by Yiannis warmly and he gave fantastic reccomendatikns as well as b - The Location!! What a spot to stay. The host fantastic! It was clean and well presented. 10/10 would recommend
• Paula (6/5): - El baño incomodo. El ingreso aldepartamento sucio y feo
• Roula (10/5): Absolutely fantastic - Close to everything, clean, tidy, exceptional Nothing
• Brian (8/5): Very pleasant stay at a super good location - We booked the apartment only for sleeping while we were in Athens. It was very comfortable and very well located. We could walk to pretty much everything we wanted to see and experience in Athens. Shops, restaurants, historic sites (Acropolis!) are only minutes away. This apartment is a perfect place to explore Athens from. It’s exactly what it promises to be, you won’t be disappointed. There we some minor points for improvement. The nightstands, little shelves attached to the wall, were loose, not attached and therefore not stable. The WiFi was not very fast/strong. But other than that it was really fine.
• Róisín (9/5): - Amazing location, great AC, host was lovely
• Marta (8/5): -
• Raber (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ellen (9/5): Superb -
• Jack (8/5): Very good - Great location, very quiet No smart tv, bathroom tiny had to sit sideways on toilet, but shower was good
• Virgile (10/5): Exceptional -
• Daniele (10/5): Exceptional - The position, the owner's promptness, kindness and helpfulness N/A
• Nebojsa (8/5): Perfect location in Athens - Location, good for a short stay. Amenities are new. You're paying for a perfect location. The owner is super helpful . The toilet is too close to the wall. No real windows to let the air in or see the light of the day. One that can be opened is looking at concrete and there is a sewer smell.
• Denis (7/5): Nice stay but there is room for improvement - Great position Large room with tv and cutlery and crockery available in the very small kitchen Nice owner, very helpful, always available on phone Luggage storage in an ice cream shop nearby Wc too close to the front wall Wc water flowing The tv turns on by itself at night The door lock is hard to open The teaspoons are missing The entrance of the building a little too “spartan”
• Sylvain (10/5): Exceptional - Very close to everything that we wanted to visit, all major sites were within walking distance.
• Esther (8/5): Very good -
• Naji (5/5): Passable -
• Katherine (8/5): Incredibly helpful host -
• Marcia (7/5): Great location - close to everything. - The location is amazing - so much to do right out the door. Close to all attractions and tons of restaurants - no need to get on the metro at all. And very quiet. Could have used a few more little amentities - like soap, tissues, larger garbage can, conditioner, lotion, more pillow cases.
• Hernan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Shilpa (8/5): Fabulous stay in Athens, good food, drinks and a very helpful host. Thanks Yannis for the welcome and all the very usefu - Great location as we could walk everywhere.
• Nicole (9/5): Great location, quiet stay and cramped toilet - Great location, bedroom is spacious, clean. There is a 2m2 small outside area only accesible for us, was nice (I read reviews that is was not very nice but I guess it is fixed, see picture all good). It is quiet, no noise from neighbours. Bathroom door closes normal. There is aircon. Toilet is too close to walls and sink in the corner, we are normal posture and tall (1.75) and we had to sit sideways on the toilet because otherwise you don’t fit. Also, there was no toilet paper.
• Angelo (6/5): Pleasant -
• Christine (7/5): Good -
• Cathryn (9/5): Fabulous 👍 beautiful location and good value - Loved the location, the room was clean and spacious . Yannis was very helpful and friendly. The door stuck a few times .
• Michelle (6/5): Great location - Great location No windows and no service for 4 days. No teaspoons & no dustbin in kitchenette
• Lucie (4/5): Perfect location, BUT apartment itself disappointing - Location, really nice and helpful owner You get the feeling that you re booking one of apartments, but in reality I think there is only 1 apartment. The entrance door scared us a bit, we did not feel save leave our valuable belonging in the apartment, door could not be really locked (only from the inside, but not from the outside) just closed and it was obvious somebody tried to get in the apartment in the past… Another thing was the toilet and shower, there is no privacy, the door to the toilet can not be fully closed, the toilet bowl was literally behind the door 40 vom from the bed, if you re alone, whatever, but with friends or as a couple it is really not comfortable.
• Heather (6/5): Fine for a short stay - The location was great and the AC very helpful. We only stayed 2 nights for sightseeing. The host was so friendly and helpful but the facilities were very basic. The mattress and pillows were horrible. The sheet didn’t even fit the mattress. The cupboard had a damp odour so we couldn’t hang anything. The room is very dark. There were cockroaches in the entry hall both days. The fittings were very amateur; the bedside shelves were about to fall out of the wall. You have to sit sideways on the toilet because the bathroom is so small.
• Vicki (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location Soft towels Comfy bed Friendly host Compact but had everything we needed Nothing
• Karin (8/5): Nice, clean, convenient and great location - Location and the shower No balcony
• Antony (9/5): Superb -
• Katerina (10/5): Excellent location and staff - The staff were very helpful and went out of there way to assist you. The breakfast was a bonus. The view was beautiful from the room and the dining room. Close to.all restaurants and facilities. There was nothing I didn't like.
• Andra (9/5): A lovely little apartment in a superb location. - Yiannis was lovely and very helpful and accommodating. The location was fantastic. The accommodation was compact but had what we needed for a short stay.
• Leonila (9/5): Great location! - This charming studio apartment was very comfortable. The location was excellent and in walking distance to all major points of interest. Giannis was a wonderful host, available at all times and offered very helpful restaurant recommendations. We were pleased with our stay!
• Alejandro (9/5): Superb -
• Paul (8/5): Very good -
• Val666 (10/5): Fantastic apartment in central Athens - Great apartment. Very clean with good bed. We had great night sleep. There was also a small smoking area or place where we could hung dry towels. The apartment is just steps away from all most famous places, restaurants, bars, metro! Host was very friendly, he was waiting for us with the keys and gave us some tips to where to go. I will definitely go back again The bathroom was good, but the toilet was very closed to the wall and not easy/impossible to seat straight.
• Sonia (9/5): Superb - The location was ideal, you walk out right onto the lively streets of Plaka. The host was very nice, welcomed us in person despite our late arrival, and recommended lots of great locations in the area. The flat is equipped with a hairdryer, showering amenities, towels, and even an iron. The only hiccup of the flat is the bathroom door, which does not close fully or lock. Also don't take very long showers as the hot water can run out. The kitchenette is very small, but sufficient for preparing small meals like a simple breakfast. Everything else was great!
• Nils (9/5): Superb - The location was amazing , Cosy flat !
• Linda (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice apartment, based in a very lovely, elegant, quiet and central area of Athens, close to every attraction of the city. Giannis, the host, is a very kind and helpful man, he gave me some good advices about places to see and restaurants/bar.
• Calderon (9/5): Superb -
• Monica (10/5): Wonderful apartment, location and host!!! - Cozy, clean, best location possible, host very friendly and helpful!!! The weather was unusually cold for Athens but the heater in the apartment worked very well and made our stay very comfortable!
• Kehinde (9/5): Superb -
• Krassimir (2/5): It was terrible do not do there - When I booked, had not informed, that this studio is under on base floor. All photos in booking.com are excellent, but they are not true, because they did not a real imagen of reality. The door of WC is all time open. The WC panel stop 15 cm in front of wall, can not seat. The clima conditioner has not work. All pillows was awful: hard and high.
• David (8/5): Very good - prime location close to major attractions like Acropolis, Botanic Gardens, Old Olympic Stadium etc; also close to transport hub in Syntagma; room is clean and cozy the ground-floor room connected to a dark tiny backyard with dubious cleanliness; kept the back door locked at all times and everything else was fine
• Ken (10/5): Exceptional -
• Deborah (10/5): Amazing location very safe beautiful inside and out. Great staff definitely come back recommend to others. - Property was really sweet and absolutely the most amazing location beautiful inside and outside the building. Yiannis and Natalia are both very helpful and friendly and he tried to stay another night, but they were already booked. Definitely come back here. For us, it was perfect
• Anthony (5/5): Terrible - This is a great location close proximity to all the tourist attractions. The room was small, the bathroom is next to the bed and the bathroom door does not close. The room smelled like sewer. The entrance into the building was not maintained and was dirty . The pictures do not reflect the room.
• Eugene (10/5): Exceptional -
• Catherine (8/5): Lovely helpful host, nice clean apartment, perfect for a short stay, very quiet. Location was 10 stars! - Location Very small
• Blake (9/5): Great location, great value, great host - Fantastic location. Couldn't be better if you're interested in the traditional sights of Athens. Very good host was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to help, be available and was knowledgeable about what to do in a short stay. Overall great value if location is key to you. The bathroom door didn't close completely without really forcing it, almost to the point it felt it would break.
• Grant (9/5): Superb - The location was perfect. It allowed us to easily explore the Plaka district and all of the important historical features on foot. Giannis our host was also very helpful. The bathroom door did not shut.
• Inge (10/5): Exceptional - Very central and walking distance to everything.
• Rosalie (10/5): Would recommend this accommodation to anyone that intends on getting out and about. We didn’t use the kitchen facilitie - The host was very accommodating. Location was fantastic, we walked to all tourist attractions. Our first time in Athens and a great introduction to Greece.
• Yaron (10/5): My visit was splendid - Great 👑 independent suite in quite pass. 2 minutes walk from Acropolis. 100m from main .street full of joy of Palaka Superb location to explore Athens❤ Owner very friendly & helpful
• Anonymous (8/5): Very good -
• Koletsis (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nimetön (9/5): I Would not change this location to any other in Athens - perfect location, easy approach to all directions; very peaceful street, no noise from neighbours, no noise from streets; whoever gave 1 point to this must have some psychological issues. in the winter, the ac heater is perhaps not the most convenient system, but ok for me!
• Luz (6/5): Good location, service can be improved. - location. Cleaning can be improved. The bathroom is really small, they expect you to use the same towel for four days.
• Anastasia (8/5): Very good - great location in a lovely quiet street near the acropolis and monastiraki square. very responsive and kind owner very small room. not much space in the bathroom, no clothes hooks or soap holder in the shower. small balcony with no clothes rack. no bin provided in the kitchen. Lock to front door kept getting stuck.
• Ambrose (8/5): First Class Location - Location was wonderful, close to a huge number of restaurants and all of the main attractions which Athens has to offer. Yiannis was super responsive and gave us good advice on places to see and things to do. I would use this property again as a base for a short visit. We really only used the property as a place to sleep for two nights and, for that, it was ideal. if our stay had been longer and/or involved cooking, it could be a bit restrictive.
• Janice (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bernave (8/5): Very good -
• Laura (10/5): Plato's square great stay - Yianis was very close and answering immediately to the textes. He recommended thousands of things I felt I had to stay much longer! Hopefully in a future :) the apartment was very clean and filled all the expectations
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was wonderful. The host, Yiannis, was extremely helpful, had a lot of tips of the city, and arranged for transportation for us. The place had all that we needed, he even stacked water bottles in the fridge for our arrival. The driver that he arranged to take us to the port was very punctual and friendly, even dropped us off directly beside our ship. The location was perfect, in the heart of Athens. Nothing
• Wissam (9/5): Highly recommended for a couple couple visiting Athens for a short stay - The location is very strategic, right in the middle of the attractions and restaurants and a 5 minutes walk to "Akropoli" metro station. One can reach the Acropolis, Plaka, and Monastiraki areas on foot. The apartment is very clean. However, the toilet is a little tight, therefore, it is more convenient for a couple. Yiannis the host is very welcoming and helpful
• Maria (9/5): Superb - Nice and very clean room!!Perfect location!
