- Dmytro (10/5): - Excellent apartment for the price. It has everything you need.
It's fairly easy to get to any of the city's attractions. I'm not sure it's worth relying on the small shops nearby. It's better to walk a couple of minutes further to: BAZAAR SUPERMARKET, Sklavenitis, My market Local, Sklavenitis. Several of the intersections around here are a little scary.
- Francesca (8/5): -
- Giuseppe (8/5): The Captain's Flat on the Roof suited us well and we had a happy and memorable first visit to Athens - Eating on the terrace. We had 30-34 degress every day for 7 September days. We are from Inner London so we did not mind the television aerials, satellite dishes and solar water heaters. These heaters gave us plenty of hot & warm water.
We enjoyed cooking on gas again.
The beds were comfortable. Thank you for the air conditioning which we used just before sleeping.
The distance from the National Archaelogical Museum and the bus stops was about ten minutes. Walking into town took less than half an hour. We caught the bus for Delphi in Onomia Square which was very convenient.
The journey from the airport to the Victoria Metro was easy, just one change. We went home by train, walking to Larissa in 20 minutes with cases. That was a good journey too.
We used one UBER taxi which was a good price.
- Giuseppe (8/5): My son & I loved staying here. - Simple accomodation, very comfortable beds.
The air condition units were helpful.
There was always enough warm / hot water for showers, washing up.
The Acropolis view from the main bedroom is great fun; we brought a telescope from home to enjoy such views
Nice to sit on the terrace lthough there was one hornet who kept coming back! A few small improvements. A chair or stool in the second bedroom, and a bedside lamp.
A cheap ironing board would be useful.
A few clues about the different washing machine settings - start numbers, rinse only, etc. Could not find useful details online
A few small plates would be good, and a few small bowls. There were only two knives for eating with.
One SHARP knife please
You have a mokka coffee maker but you need an adaptor for the gas stove so that it sits on the gas plates.
My wife & his partner may not have like the local area: we are from Inner London so we did not mind.
- fotios lorias (9/5): - The balcony
- Vincent (8/5): Beds were very comfy, with each bedroom fitted with airconditiong making a lot more bearable when going to sleep. Kitche - Beds were very comfy, kitchen had everything you needed. Nothing
- Vali (9/5): Jó szállás bizarr környéken - Nagyon szép elrendezésű, berendezésű lakás, igényes, tiszta, jól felszerelt. Nagyon hangulatos a sok terasz, és az egyikről tényleg látni az Acropolist! A környék eléggé lezüllött, bezárt üzletek, romos házak, hajléktalanok... Sötétben hazasétálni nem a legkellemesebb élmény volt... A nagy teraszon néha durva vizelet szag volt...
- Silvia (8/5): - La terrazza grande e la modalità del check in. La vista sul partenone. L’ascensore faceva molto rumore quando veniva usato e disturbava di notte.
- Arkadiusz (10/5): - Fajne miejsce, dobry kontakt z właścicielem. Dobra lokalizacja.
- Ματθαιάκη (4/5): -
- Mousoulides (7/5): -
- Andres (9/5): Superb - Good place, good view and very good location.
- Alfiya (10/5): Exceptional - I liked everything
- Muhammad (9/5): Superb -
- Dimitra (3/5): Poor -
- Cazacu (7/5): Good - The very nice view from one of the bedrooms , the balcony/terrace was quite large The air conditioning in both rooms could perhaps be overhauled, as they were not cooling too much. In the 2nd bedroom, the AC unit started to drip water after running some time. Unfortunately the water was dripping very close to a power outlet so we had to stop running the AC and find a way to protect the outlet from the water. Informed the host about the issue, future guests please be aware of this and keep an eye out for it. The area where the apartment is located is not the best, during night time we heard some shouting from the streets. And walking back from downtown at night time I would not recommend, we passed some shady streets with some dubious inhabitants....
- Malvina (8/5): Very good -
- Anna (10/5): We felt at home :) thank you! - We had a wonderful stay at this apartment. It was spacious, very clean and had a great vibe. The location is good from the accessibility perspective. We were three ladies and had no issues but maybe not ideal for solo female travelers to walk alone in the area during the night.
- Nixon (8/5): Very good - I liked the view, balconies, and bedding The site neighborhood was messed up, and the Aparment did not have TV
- Rus (8/5): Very good -
- Mooney (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kon (10/5): I would like to stay more - Nice apartment, clear, convenient and spacious, with a view to the Acropolis. The block is not new, but it has some beautiful old-style decoration. Beds are new and convenient, bathroom is renovated. A pleasure to stay at. And in a more personal level, the abundance of migrants in the neighborhood adds flavour and interest.
- Ewa (10/5): Exceptional - The view from the bedroom is stunning. The apartment has everything you need. The nearest metro station is just 9 minutes away. N/A
- Tariq (6/5): Pleasant - I really didn’t like the location other than it was quite good The elevator made too much noise near the apartment
- Hywel (9/5): Great location and value - The location is great. Some reviews say it's in a sketchy area but we felt happy walking home in the evening. A shop a minute walk away....hop on hop off bus stop 5 mins away. Great location and price. There are two nice bedrooms and a kitchen but no communal space apart from the balcony. The balcony is large and covered with furniture, so when it's warm this is absolutely great. I think if it's cold you might miss a living room but it was no problem for us.
- Shauchenko (9/5): Superb - Spacious, comfortable, original. You can see Parfenon through a window. Only small drawbacks that were promised to be repaired.
- Larissa (10/5): Exceptional - the comfort of the unit was above expectations. the host was easy to talk to and very helpful. the location is in a not so safe looking area, a lot of prostitution around and visible drug use
- Anthony (8/5): Very good -
- Lorna (9/5): Great apartment. Great view. Attentive host. A real hidden gem with slightly rough edges 👍🏻 - Great flat close to the sights of Athens. Very quirky. Very clean and everything you need. The area wasn’t the best but we didn’t mind and think it was realistic of a city break.
- Ludovit (8/5): overall a very good, comfortable choice - really lovingly renovated apartment. I also like some vintage piecies of furniture, spacious terrace... maybe the location/district, but it is a stone's throw from attractive places
- Ahmet (8/5): Very good - facility in a central location.Items inside are clean and well-maintained.The view of the acropolis is also beautiful. Its location is not a very safe place.
- Elvyra (9/5): Superb - Flat has everything you need, amazing balcony
- Michael (9/5): Superb -
- Baiba (5/5): okay place in a bad neighborhood -
- Hanna (8/5): Very good - almost everything, it’s a nice place very slow wi-fi
- Ioannis (8/5): Very good -
- Bulimeri (8/5): Ok - Nothing PRICE. 40EURO IN BOOKIG. IT TUK ME 55 EURO
- Bjorn (10/5): tasteful apartment with incredible view - the view was incredible. tasteful decoration. simple. nice sheets and duvet. I definitely recommend it! the toilet was leaking water often
- Marie-rose (8/5): Very comfortable and pleasent appartment and well situated -
- Benea (10/5): Exceptional -
- Luca (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was all greatly equipped, I had absolutely everything I wanted from a washing machine to vinegar. I loved the concept, the decoration. I loved the way the bathroom was designed. I also liked the way I communicated with the host. The position. It's located in a not so safe looking neighborhood.
- Mereb (7/5): Would have been excellent if AC was working properly in both rooms. - Very clean, well equiped and good size of the apartment. The terrace is great! AC in one of the room did not work, we contacted the host to ask for an intervention, but no answer.
Made sleeping at night quite uncomfortable.
The neighbourhood didn't make us feel very safe.
- Emma (8/5): Very good - the flat was exactly what we needed and wanted to explore Athens.
We made good use of the balcony and the kitchen.
We read lots of comments about the area- but honestly, it was no worse than a number of European cities.
As a group of girls who were out early and back late, we never felt intimidated or worried. As with all travel, being sensible and keeping to yourself is always advisable.
