Guest Reviews

• Rosana (8/5): Excelente opción, muy cerca de todo - La ubicación y comodidad del apartamento Nada
• Ferdağ (6/5): Konumu güzel, oda birkaç şey dışında iyi - Konum Lavabo borusu su damlatıyordu, duş mekanizmasında tutukluk vardı, baz yerler tozluydu
• Elín Heiða (9/5): Good placement - Placement is so good.
• Anonimo (3/5): - Mancanza di pulizia..
• Olga (9/5): - A lokàció tökéletes.
• Dilara (10/5): -
• Benan (10/5): Harika bir konaklama deneyimi! Muhtemeşem konum, temiz bir banyo. - Konumu olağanüstü. Her yere yürüyerek gittik. Farklı ülkelerde konaklayan biri olarak söyleyebilirim ki daire oldukça temizdi. İhtiyaç olabilecek (saç kurutma makinesi, şampuan, kağıt havlu gibi) her şey var.
• Saule (8/5): -
• Paweł (7/5): -
• Kathy (7/5): Enjoyed the location was close to everything we wanted to see. Lots of restaurants to chose from. - No breakfast was provided The location was excellent Kitchen window needs a blind, unit is visible from other unit via kitchen window, especially in evenings when lights are on
• dorota (7/5): - Great location 👌 Too loud at night time
• Carlos (9/5): - La ubicación y la limpieza Era un apartamento a pie de calle y no lo decían en anuncio
• Elena (9/5): A due passi dall'Acropoli - Posizione centralissima ai piedi dell"Acropoli, si raggiungono le zone centrali a piedi in 10 minuti ma sono comunque disponibili i mezzi pubblici. Appartamento pulito Nell ingresso della struttura x qualche giorno c è stato odore di gas, ci hanno detto per rifornimento annuale. Le finestre sul retro davano su cortili diroccati e sporchi. Per avere l'acqua calda occorre aspettare 20 minuti.

• idesa013 (3/5): Think carefully before booking an apartment through this company. - . The room cleanliness left a lot to be desired — cobwebs mixed with dirt were hanging from the ceiling in several spots. The shower didn’t work properly — water was running from both the showerhead and the tap at the same time. The air conditioner was completely useless — it neither cooled, heated, nor ventilated. Sound insulation was terrible — we could hear the main entrance door opening, people walking, and toilets flushing in other apartments all night long. In addition, the accommodation price included a €25 cleaning fee for one-time room cleaning, but it was never done. They simply charged for it and then claimed that the money could not be refunded. To make matters worse, they also charged the environment fee twice. Although the money was refunded after I complained, it felt intentional — as if they hoped the guest wouldn’t notice. Finally, I submitted a complaint directly to Booking support more than a week ago, but still haven’t received any response. Recommendation: Think carefully before booking an apartment through this company.
• natalia (8/5): Ideal para hacer base - La ubicación El baño pequeños
• Julien (7/5): Efficient place to stay in excellent location, though lacking in view and natural light and thus charm. - Everything worked perfectly… shower, a/c, etc, and very well equipped kichenette. 100% cotton sheets. Very central Plaka location yet on a quiet side street. Very efficient choice of accommodation. The appartment is a single room (‘studio’) of about 21m2, which is quite adequate for a couple and has all the conveniences you’d need. However, it is not 31m2 as on Bookings. It’s on the ground floor and for privacy the grey lace curtains need to be closed which makes it a little gloomy. The ‘balcony’ is strictly for a line of potted plants as it’s just 40cm wide, and gives directly onto the street.
• Anita (9/5): Would come again - Location & coffee machine Very comfy bed Great WiFi
• Debora (9/5): - La sua posizione eccellente! Bagno piccolino
• Jerzy (9/5): - Great location, easy access Shower should be repaired
• Brunold (10/5): Gute Zentrale Lagein plaka Nähestation acropoli - keine Treppen - Gute Kommunikation mit dem Personal via whatsapp Zentrale Lage Kühlschrank, Klimaanlage, Internet Ebenerdig - keine Treppen Nur Schaumstoffmatratze - kein Lattenrost - bekam Kreuzschmerzen Keine Azssicht - da ebenerdig zur Straße - man muss Rollladen unten lassen
• Madeleine (6/5): Excellent location, good hosts. - Great location !!! Place is not as fresh and clean as appears in photos. Needs a good deep clean. Has splatter marks on walls and bedside tables and cobwebs.
• Geison (1/5): HORRIBLE! DONT STAY! - Just the location. The room was old. It faced the street and was extremely noisy until 3 a.m. because they put me on the ground floor. I couldn’t sleep at all. They don’t offer proper room service. They didn’t change my towels even though I stayed for four nights. The bathroom was very tiny, and the shower glass door was old. I had a hard time opening and closing it because the rollers kept coming off the track. By the third night, the door completely came off the track and shattered, cutting my foot and hitting a vein. I lost a small amount of blood, but had a hard time stopping the bleeding because there was no first-aid kit in the room—something that should be mandatory for emergencies. When I asked for someone to clean my room and replace the towels, they said they don’t provide such services unless I paid an extra fee. I have never experienced anything like this. I’ve traveled to many countries and stayed in countless hotels, and this was by far the worst experience I’ve had during a long stay. I’m very disappointed. Now, I do want to say the staff at the office were great—very helpful and kind. But even so, I do not recommend this apartment or this company. I’m a YouTuber and will be making a video about my experience with this place and this company
• Reda (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location near the center of Athena, Clean,coffee and tea in the kitchen Room warm
• Magdalena (8/5): A nice budget stay in a perfect location - The apartament is nice and comfortable and the location in Plaka is perfect. Close to all the shops, restaurants and turistic points of interest, you can get everywhere by foot, just roaming the lovely narrow streets nearby. Easy contact with the owner was also a huge plus. Could use some better cleaning, especially in the bathroom area.
• John (8/5): Very good -
• Patricia (9/5): Lovely place - Good Location - Clean and comfortable ground floor room with great air conditioning. Good facilities including a small stove and microwave. Hot water and great shower. The location is only a few minutes walk from the main street and close to lots of shops and restaurants. A warmer blanket would have been appreciated - the air conditioning was good and even when we turned it off the room remained cool. Look out for an email to check in - I missed this and had to make a phone call to the owner which resulted in providing a photo of my passport by Whatsapp to obtain the key code. That said this was quickly resolved.
• Nickolas (6/5): Pleasant - Great location Could have been cleaner, especially the bathroom.
• Julie (10/5): Fantastic location- would recommend - Location in Plaka area. The big room was on the ground floor. The shower was a little on the small side.
• Chess (8/5): Very good -
• Stephen (8/5): Comfortable studio in a great location - This was a comfortable studio apartment in a great location very near the Acropolis and metro and lots of great eating options. The room did not have a lot of natural light and if we had been able to open the shutter on the balcony window this might have helped. We were unable to access the small balcony due to the shutter not opening A little noisy but that is the trade-off when you are in a central & busy location
• Nicola (8/5): Would recommend for other short stays. - Clean, comfortable space. Noise from the street.
• Vorster (7/5): Good -
• Fiona (9/5): Great host and location - Maria was such a wonderful host, so helpful and made my stay really comfortable. Thank you very much! Can be a bit noisy at night as residents slam the door shut at the main entrance to the building. But I assume it was mostly because I was there on a weekend.
• Eleftherios (8/5): super perfect location room - nice big clean room .. quiet street .. perfect location ..close to shops and metro station the wifi was very bad a super slow connection .. not enough shower gel ..the hand shower is not working !! It was very important for us to have a washing machine, so I messaged Maria to ask if the apartment had a washing machine ,she said YES, but she lied to us about it because when we arrived we found a note on the washing machine that says it is out of order
• Juan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Achilleas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Helena (10/5): Exceptional -
• Melissa (4/5): Great location, unfortunate bedbug incident - The location was great. Also, when I sent a message complaining of bedbugs, they called me within a few hours to organize another room for us. It was somewhat inconvenient to move our luggage to their office in the middle of the day, but understandable as they wanted to get exterminators into the room ASAP. There were bedbugs and I got around 50 bites in total. Also, we did not receive check-in instructions until about 2 hours prior to check-in, which would have been difficult to receive if I did not have mobile service. For travelers relying on WiFi, it is inconvenient to not have check-in details further ahead of time, or at least receive the apartment's WiFi username/password ahead of time to access check-in information.
• Rebecca (6/5): Average apartment, but fantastic location. - Location was fantastic! Super close to the Acropolis and lots of great restaurants. Apartment is very noisy - lots of noise from people entering/exiting building as you are right by the front door, plus you can hear everything happening on the street - we were woken up in early hours of the morning by people walking past and yelling. Washing machine was difficult to use and didn’t wash our clothes properly. There was also no drying rack provided which made it difficult to hang out the clothes to dry.
• Monica (8/5): Great location, confortable - Perfect location Washing machine was not working and they didn’t informed us
• Maria (10/5): Safe and comfortable! - Perfect location! Athens can be kind of polluted but this property is located in the best and safest part. Couldn’t get better.
• Marwa (5/5): Safe nice location but not the best cleaness - The location is very unique, it is in the heart of Plaka, it is 2 min walk from a very nice touristic padesrtrian area full of of souvonier shops and nice restaurants and cafes. The checkin experience was smooth and easy. The area was safe specially for solo female travelers as compared to other areas in Athens. Restuaratns near by was open till late in the evening. Alot of the cafes near the apartement has a view on the Acropolis. After Checkout, I wanted to leave my luggage for some hours as my flight was in the evening, they have an office were they offer to store your luggage there but it's located aroun 10-15 min walk (near Syntagma metro station). The bathroom has a small window that wouldn't close, accordingly there were alot of flies inside the bathroom. the bathroom is very small and it smelled a bit. The fridge kept doing a weird noise that use to go away by itself and then come back. There is a small window in the kitchenet that didn't have a shutter or a curtain so if you like the room to be totally dark when you sleep, this might be a little annoying. The headbaord of the bed was full of dust. In general I dind't like that that there were flies in the room as well that is possibly from the window in the bathroom.
• Amber (9/5): Superb -
• Ulysse (10/5): Exceptional -
• Skye (3/5): Do not reccommend - The interior look was lovely, location was perfect for sight seeing. Host was regularly in contact. Easy to check in and check out. Shower was very difficult to heat up, washing machine was difficult to understand use so didnt use that or the kitchen appliances except the kettle. Cheap packets of body wash, no shampoo etc. Odd smell walking in, few hairs on bed sheets but otherwise it seemed clean at least so I slept on the other side. Bed was very hard. For the comparable price, I would stay elsewhere.
• Maria (8/5): Very good - Confortable apartment in the heart of Athens, one minute walk from the Akropolis. Restaurants and Bars very close. One of the reason we booked it was because of the washing machine (there were some other options cheaper in this area) , but it wasn’t working. We contacted the landlord and told him this, but they gave us no solution. Also there is no toaster but that wasn’t a problem.
• Amy (8/5): Very good -
• Giordana (9/5): Superb - place, nearby everything, well equiped. only opportunity would be a reception. but we understand that a bnb usually don’t have.
• Bethan (8/5): Very good - Good location, within easy walking distance of all the sights. Close to good restaurants and eating places. Could be a little noisy at times but this is a given due to great location.
• Claire (10/5): Exceptional - Great location! In a quiet street of the beautiful Plaka. Near lots of places of interest.
• Anonymous (9/5): Superb - Absolutely fabulous location! We were steps from the Plaka area, one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Athens. The hosts were so lovely and excellent at communicating. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
• Azman (9/5): best location to stay in Athens - located at the Plaka and near metro station. Easy to get around. The room is spacious and comfortable nil
• Meral (7/5): Good -
• Marco (9/5): Superb - Very comfortable house with all the conveniences. Very central location near from the Acropolis and the Museum. very kind staff. I recommend it
• Natalie (9/5): We would recommend this to others. - Brilliant location - right by the Acropolis and the museum. Hop on/off bus stop was a few minutes walk away. Near lots of great restaurants. Excellent communication with hosts. Bed was comfortable & shower was powerful and hot. Wifi could be better
• Alizee (10/5): Exceptional -
• Iustin (7/5): Beautiful place, too cold in the winter - The place was located very close to the center, near all of the main attractions, and a lot of restaurants. The place is exactly as seen in the pictures, freshly renovated, beautiful, and at the ground floor. You could easily hear anyone entering or exiting the building, the front entrance door being very load. We went during the middle of February, and it was cold. The radiators didn't keep up with the cold, and at points they just stopped completely. When we asked about them, we were told to turn on the AC for heat. The AC was not powerful enough in the slightest. We had a similar issue with the hot water. It stopped after a few minutes and we were left with only freezing winter water to wash off the soap in the shower. So we had to use the kettle to boil some water to clean up, as well as pans to hold the water. Some of the pans were not properly cleaned when we tried to use them. True authentic ancient greek experience. If visiting in the winter, do consider bringing your own hot water.
• Maia (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, very clean and nice! We will definitely choose this place again, when we go to Athens 😊

• Pablo (10/5): Exceptional - Location, whole appartment, washing machine. It would have been nice to have tea or coffee to prepare with the heater.

• Nilay (9/5): Superb - GK Aria has super easy self check-in process with clear instructions. The apartment was clean, near to Acropolis, and at the heart of the Plaka, touristic area at Athens.
