Guest Reviews
- Adrian (10/5): -
- James (10/5): - The location was great, the pre trip communication was excellent! Only thing that could have helped was either a.ceiling fan or any fan to blow the cool a/c air into the bedroom off of the living room.
- Michiel P (10/5): Fantastisch appartement in Athene! - Fantastische locatie, dichtbij alle mooie bezienswaardigheden in het centrum van Athene. Groot appartement voorzien van alle gemakken. Fijn terras om buiten te zitten. Fijne host soepele communicatie! Niets!
- Anthony (10/5): Pleasant apartment for our family of 5 in a good area and wonderful hosts - Great apartment for our adult family of 5. Great location within walking distance of everything we wanted to see. 2 toilets was great. Hosts were very generous with a beautiful home made chocolate cake and wine waiting for us on arrival. Aircon in lounge/bedroom could have been colder. I would stay here again
- yikong (8/5): Very comfortable accommodation and hosts were very helpful - Fantastic location. Near to many restaurants Would appreciate a microwave and a fan.
- Pencea (9/5): -
- Kerry (9/5): Fantastic location, great apartment and a fabulous host. Highly recommended. - Haris (the host) was fantastic and he made sure we knew how to get to the apartment from the airport, he also sent us photos explaining very clearly how to find the apartment and the keys and how to turn on the hot water. We arrived quite late on our first night, so having all those clear instructions made it really easy. Haris also reassured us that if we needed help finding the apartment, keys or anything at all during our stay, we just needed to message him.
The apartment itself looks very similar to the photos and the beds were very comfortable - it had absolutely everything we needed for a short stay including a complimentary bottle of wine and a chocolate cake made by Vasiliki. We felt very spoilt and were sorry we weren't able to finish all of the cake over the weekend that we were there, as it was delicious!
The apartment is so close to the Acropolis - less than a 10 minute walk and it was in a quiet area. We discovered some lovely local restaurants a short walk away (in the opposite direction to the Acropolis). The terrace was also lovely and if we had stayed longer, I would have happily spent more time relaxing outside. When I booked the apartment, I didn't realise that the bedroom with the four-poster bed also has a small balcony and a clothes line that was handy for drying our towels.
The main bathroom had toiletries and the shower was a good size with great water pressure. The kitchen also had washing up liquid and dishtowels etc. It was also handy having a 2nd toilet.
The building and the apartment itself are old and a little run-down but considering the central location and how reasonable the cost was for our stay, I was very impressed and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. If I was being really picky, it would be that there wasn't much space for hanging up our clothes. there were a few hooks on the bedroom walls and a small hallway cupboard with some coat-hangers. We were only there for a weekend, so it wasn't a problem for us as we just left everything in our suitcases, but for a larger family or group staying several days, it may be a bit more of a challenge.
- Szilvia (10/5): Best accomodation and host ever! - We had a wonderful time. Haris is a fantastic host, we had the opportunity to check in early, we were given welcome cookies, wine and we were even given a stroller. The apartment is in a very good location and equipped with everything. After sightseeing, coming back here was like coming home, cozy and safe! I highly recommend it!
- Gioia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sheena-marie (10/5): Perfect location to explore Athens by foot.. - The host was very hospitable and very helpful.
The instructions at the apartment were visible and clear.
The apartment Everything was good.
- Arora (10/5): Exceptional - The location was amazing, a very short walk from the city centre and the Acropolis. Upon arrival, the hosts provided cake and wine, and the apartment had all the amenities and facilities needed. There are lockers, ATMs, and all the necessary facilities within walking distance. Haris was very responsive and kind throughout our stay. Highly recommended!!
- Kais (9/5): Superb - Really it’s nice apparement very nice location very good people
- Ming-yi (10/5): Exceptional - The host was very thoughtful and provided additional amenities like umbrella, converter, even welcome cake!
- Natalia (6/5): perfect location, clean apartment - apartment has perfect location. it is very centre of an amazing city Athens. district is safe. Apartment was clean and there were necessary appliances in it. Host left bottle of wine and chocolate cake and everywhere you see that he cares about environment. Considering that he avoids to use plastic appliances and uses hot water economy use system, which is little bit discomfortable when you are a group but still can be understand. if you are a geoup of childhood friends and decide to have fun in this city for couple of days take a note that there is a crazy neighbour who will call to the host at every your breath, even when she or he hears talk or lough and will inform him at what time you were talking. laughing or even drinking cofee and histerically require from the host to ask guest to be quite as bog. It is very abusive and abnormal.
- Klara (8/5): Very good - The apartment is right in the city centre with Acropolis 15 mins of walking. There's plenty restaurants and cafes around. 🙂 We had everything we needed for our stay in the apartment, so it was great for group of friends like us. Cozy bed, clean kitchen and bathroom. The big terrace is great! All the information from the host were ok and we also had a little treat prepared. 😊 It would be great to have at least two sets of keys.
- Raya (10/5): Exceptional - The location is just perfect, the apartment is very well equipped and has everything you might need You can't cool the apartment below 24 degrees, but at least you help the environment :)
- David (10/5): We felt at home. The hosts thought of everything. Top notch location and comfort - Quiet location very close to the Acropolis Museum, Plaka, Hadrian’s Arch. Lots of shops and restaurants. The apartment was stocked with everything we needed, and Haris left a bottle of wine and chocolate cake to welcome us. There is a map where you can leave a pin of your home city and a guest book. Haris was very helpful with whatever question we had. Everything was good
- Vicki (9/5): Lovely stay to the end of our month's long holiday - We liked the location as it felt more like a lived in suburb, rather than a tourist area. Though just a few streets away from many restaurants. Loved the large balcony to sit at. Communication with the hosts was excellent, and they arranged transfers to and from the airport on short notice. Nice touches, like home baked cake and a very nice bottle of wine for us on arrival was very welcoming. We appreciated that the hosts were very green and caring about conserving energy, but the air conditioning was still a little warm for us.
- Wolf (10/5): Exceptional - The complimentary cake and wine were a welcoming touch. Location is really central but also quiet. Terrace is a good size.
- Christina (10/5): Great apartment close to the Acropolis area - Spacious and well maintained. The owners have thought of everything to make the stay enjoyable. The owner was very accommodating when our travel dates changed, and he was also very willing to help with whatever we needed during our stay. I would definitely recommend!
- Denise (9/5): Brilliant - thank you Haris and Vasiliki. - Really good communication with Haris before and during our stay and good instructions for arriving and leaving. Delicious cake and a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. The apartment is lovely. Very comfortable beds, excellent shower and the terrace is wonderful. We were within walking distance to everything - the Acropolis, Plaka, the botanical gardens. The kitchen is quite dated but had what we needed. The drying rack in the kitchen and the shower weren't very clean.
- Kojic (10/5): Perfect! - Our stay was absolutely perfect! Hosts were amazing, they provided us with all the information we needed, communication was excellent. Location of the apartment could not have been better, we went everywhere by foot, all of the attractions were nearby. Apartment was spacious enough for 6 people and we had absolutely everything we needed and more. Could not recommend this apartment enough! 20/10 /
- Maureen (10/5): Great comminication with Haris. Arranged an airport pickup for me. Efficient airport rendezvous and fair price. Balcony - Host

- Lisa (9/5): Use this apartment as your home base during your next visit to Athens. - The location was just ideal. Can walk to everything or take public transportation. The host was very very helpful. Plan a little while everyday to just sit on the porch. A true sense of the city life. The shower seemed to leak a little
- Marel (10/5): Amazing apartment with a lovely terrace and great location! - The apartment was everything that we hoped for, with spacious bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen and a big terrace with a dining area. The host was very welcoming and with great communication. The location is truly great, a short walking distance from the Acropolis and some great restaurants, shops and sights.
- Alessandro (10/5): Exceptional - lovely apartment, clean, two large bedrooms and also very comfortable sofas. Close to the subway and also two supermarkets. Haris, the owner, was always available to give us useful advice for visiting the city, responding immediately to our requests. highly recommended!!!
- Paramita (8/5): Great location - Location is perfect. Walking distance to Plaka, Acropolis, Monastiraki. The area also feels safe. There are a few supermarkets nearby, including a gourmet mini market where you can find Greeks products and delicacies. You can also find many nice restaurants and cafes in the vicinity.
There were five of us and the space was comfortable. Kitchen is a tad bit small but more than sufficient for cooking meals. The host is very communicative and helpful. We really appreciate the welcome cake and wine! Washing machine on site would've been perfect but it wasn't a deal breaker for us. There are a couple of laundromat within walking distance.
- Jan (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. The location was more than perfect, host was very responsive and always there to help. The apartment itself was very well equipped and overall really beautiful. Thank you for giving us an unforgettable Athens experience
- John (10/5): A true gem in one of the best areas in Athens - A great property, decorated with taste and attention to detail, clean and comfortable at an ideal location. The hosts are super friendly and make sure all is good. I stayed there for the Athens marathon and they went out of their way to let me check out later and rest my achy legs. This was my fifth Athens marathon and by far the best accommodation I had.
- William (10/5): Exceptionally clean, well stocked two bedroom apartment close to the Acropolis. Great value. - The apartment was immaculate, and stocked with all the bathroom essentials, coffee, kitchen utensils, places to visit and eat. Drinkable tap water and great shower with plenty of hot water. Great balcony to sit on. Location to the Acropolis was within easy walking distance. We felt well taken care of. Nothing.
- Joanne (9/5): Beautiful Athens experienced from a superb apartment. - A beautiful apartment in an excellent location. Nothing
- Sylvia (9/5): Amazing stay in Athens, totally worthwhile! - The hosts were super nice, gave us all the assistance we needed and even prepared (or bought) us a delicious cake and filled water bottles for us. We loved the decor, the varanda, the books about Athens in the apartment, the neighborhood and the overall concern of the hosts with the environment. The shower head kept sliding down.
A microwave would make breakfast time perfect as it is more practical than pans for warming up milk.
- Ziv (8/5): Very good - Comfort, clean and great location.
Nice ownet Don't have a proper solution for leaving the bags after check out

- Jenny (10/5): Exceptional - Haris was the best host I've ever stayed with. He was so helpful starting from how to get to the apartment and then had information around the apartment about how to help us explore the city, luggage storage, or airport transfer. He even left cake for us all to enjoy. There were also full amenities in the bathroom, which was so appreciated, and supported sustainable practices. Great walkable location to the Acropolis.
