Guest Reviews
- Anne (10/5): - Fantastic location. A nice quiet little room.
- Tan Hung (8/5): Ok stay. There are many other options around . - The location Repeated warning about what you should not do. The word “must” were used very often . Understand some don’t follow instructions but don’t treat / assume everyone like will behave like that . Another thing I did not like is there was a polite message in the morning asking me what time would I be checking out.
- Marcin (10/5): Great place. Cute cat and perfect location. - Klimat i lokalizacja -
- Kübra (9/5): Keyifliydi. - Konumu harikaydı, her yere yürüme mesafesi. Etrafta tavernalar mevcut. Tek kişi kalmalı ideal.
- Steve (10/5): Lovely small apartment, perfect for solo traveller - Very well situated in the Plaka with ease of access to all sites of interest, restaurants and bars. Spotlessly clean small apartment, quiet and comfortable at night time. Highly recommended for solo traveller. N/A
- Liam (9/5): -
- Stuart (8/5): Compact and bijou - Great location.
Whilst the apartment is very small, the vertically wall-recessed bed was very comfy.
All the essentials are there and it's nice to step out into the roof terrace. Light switches and sockets aren't easy to locate. Could do with a mains switch/socket just inside the door.
- Lauren (9/5): -
- Ben (10/5): Zu empfehlen! - Schönes Mini-Apartment mit netter Gastgeberin, toller Terrasse und sehr guter Lage zur Akropolis. Perfekt für Alleinreisende mit wenig Gepäck (es geht vom Bahnhof ein kleines bisschen bergauf).
- Pauline (8/5): Perfect for my needs - Perfect for a one night stay The tiny apartment was great for a short stay, any longer the lack of space would impact on the stay
- Carol (8/5): - The location was excellent close to some lovely Tavernas and great for the metro and Acropolis It was a bit cold so had to ask for a blanket.
- Luke (8/5): - Cool place, good location, cat is a bonus
- Kristjan (10/5): - Super lovely tiny apartment.
Highly recommend.
- Carole (8/5): Très bon séjour dans un lieu atypique, charmant et fonctionnel - Très bonne situation dans Plaka. Terrasse très agréable. Salle de bain petite mais bien équipée.
L’hôte est en contact régulier via messagerie pour s’assurer que tout se passe bien. La remise des clefs semble ne pas plaire au restaurant en question.
Odeurs de viande grillée sur la terrasse provenant des restaurants environnants.

- Federica (10/5): - Il graziosissimo appartamento di Maria si trova in una posizione fantastica, sotto l acropoli vicino ad alcune taverne, in una bellissima stradina lastricata di marmo. L appartamento piccolo ma assolutamente confortevole e dotato di tutto il necessario. La chicca sicuramente la terrazza. Meravigliosa, avvolta dalla quiete. Stare lì a bere una tisana la sera è stato meraviglioso, un bellissimo silenzio aggraziato dalla brezza leggera che scompigliava le fronde degli alberi e da una musica nostalgica e lontana che risuonava nell aria. Maria è stata una padrona d casa ECCEZIONALE. Disponibilissima e gentilissima, non c è dubbio che se dovessi tornare ad atene il suo appartamento sarebbe la mia prima scelta. Nulla, tutto meraviglioso
- Laurence (9/5): -
- Samuel (8/5): Not a fan of the cat. - Nice area, decent space. Camera on the terrace gives you the feeling your being watched, the main draw to this stay where your suppose to relax. Also the cat savagely bit me drawing blood from four different locations on my leg!
- Gobika (9/5): -
- Caroline (8/5): Roof Terrace oasis - I loved the roof terrace. It was like an oasis and very private. The Murphy bed was easy to put up and down, so it was no problem to change the room between day and night set up. In good weather, the roof terrace is like a living room. The location was convenient to restaurants and was also quaint.
- anne (9/5): - L'emplacement idéal, le calme, la véracité des photos et du descriptif Peut-être un micro-ondes et un peu plus de vaisselle
- Lukas Brunbauer (10/5): Great tiny place in an excellent location in the hear of the centre. - It's a really, really nice tiny place. Absolutely lovely for a down-town visit in Athens. Such a great place where you can feel the love the owner puts into it... plus I loved the cat as a companion there :-)
- Isabelle (9/5): Superb -
- Andrew (8/5): A pleasant but cramped accommodation, in a great location for the views and dining out, but with drawbacks, like if you - It was a great location for dining out in the many restaurants high up in Plaka/Anafiotika with their fabulous views.
The room, though small, was pleasant to be in and there was a lovely back courtyard area to sit or eat in.
The bathroom was modern and easy to use.
With both a locking gate and main door lock, it felt very secure. It is quite a distance from the nearest station (Monastiraki) and there were two lots of steps up to the level of the street it is in, so hard work with a suitcase.
You had to find the taverna first to get the keys, so that was one more task to worry about.
The room was very cramped when the fold-down bed was in use, when there was nowhere to put my suitcase out of the way, except the passageway to the bathroom and then it caused an obstruction.
- Yihe (10/5): Absolute amazing stay! - I shall say this is the best accommodation I had during my trip this time.
The room is very true to the description and the pictures displayed. The room is small, as stated in the title itself, but it isn’t much of a problem for a solo traveller.
The terrace is so lovely, especially with the sun, and there is a cute cat that will appear from time to time.
Facility is great.
Location is perfect! Just in the heart of Plaka, in the busy and live area, close to everywhere in the central area.
Communication is smooth with Maria; even though the pick up location is a bit unusual (for me), the check in process and smooth and without any issue.
- Naomi (10/5): Tiny Apartment in Beautiful Location - Such an adorable apartment in an incredible part of the city. The size is perfect for one person (loved the Murphy bed!) and the private terrace was unbelievable (complete with complimentary cat). Delicious restaurants right down the street, which is pedestrian only. Cannot recommend enough for solo travelers!
- Lesley (7/5): Perfect for very short stay if you are a walker ! - Great location near acropolis right in the old town There was a pull down bed to create more space which I didn’t understand as there was nowhere to sit when it was up 🤷♀️
- Markus (10/5): Exceptional - Really nice cozy little appartement for one person in the best part of Athens. Maria is a very friendly host who knows a lot about the city and its history.
- James (10/5): Exceptional -
- Malcolm (7/5): It was passable for the price but only just. Its location in Plaka was perfect - Its location No patio armchairs.
Fold up bed and shelving not very professional
- Jane (10/5): Amazing tiny apartment for a single traveller. Will 100% book again - Great location, excellent communication and flexibility from the host. Loved the terrace The people i had to get the key from were unnecessarily difficult but they were not associated with the host, just the local tavern.
- Nancy (10/5): Great find in Athens - The location is excellent. Walking distance to acropolis, all the restaurants and lots of shopping available nearby. The area is nice and feels safe for solo travellers. Picking up and dropping off keys was super easy. Resident cat was there to welcome me, which was a bonus! Some reviews mentioned hard to get to the airbnb with suitcase, but contact Maria and she will let you know where taxi can drop you off, once dropped off you can pick up keys from the Tavern and literally less than 5 minutes walk and no stairs to climb. This is definitely for solo traveller only
The room is very small, only 1 pull-out single bed, each day you need to fold back the bed so you have living space if that's what you prefer.
- Petros (8/5): Very good - The location.
- Sami (8/5): Very good - Location Price
- Lori (6/5): Pleasant -
- Toihawaii (8/5): Great location, close to everywhere. - Great location and value. Nothing
- Mario (9/5): Best place near the centre - The location is absolutely the BEST in Athens.
Walking distance to everything (and I stayed there for 8 nights) Nothing I can think of
- Marvin (10/5): Perfect location and comfortable - Perfect location, could not hope for better.
Meant for solo traveller, comfortable bed. The opening in the bathroom that leads to the neighbour, not very intimate. We hear each other as being in the same room.
- Azher (1/5): No privacy or security - the owner was nice I booked a bedroom but was given a hallway to sleep in with someone else staying in bedroom(s) and no lock / security to avoid other persons coming from bedroom into the hallway where I was sleeping. Above the bedroom, there was a curtained loft where someone behind the curtains could be watching me.
- Ingrid (8/5): Very good -
- Baker (8/5): Very rare to find -accommodation with a terrace in the Plaka just a few minutes from the Acropolis. - This is located in a wonderful part of the Plaka, the older area of Athens nestled just below the Acropolis. There are little pedestrian only cobblestone streets lined with restaurants, bars and boutiques all around you plus easy access to the incredible archeological and historic sites of ancient Greece. The outdoor space is nice but NO you cannot see the acropolis from here but there are many nearby rooftop restaurants where you can. Fairly easy access by foot from Monastiraki metro station or by taxi to the Melina Mercouri Cafe (then a flight of steps up to apartment). This is a very small apartment and there really wasn't a comfortable place to sit. The outside couch was covered by a sheet. I was told it was because of the cat. I did not see a cat but since I'm allergic to cats I decided not to use it. It looks like the legs on it are also getting very loose. The murphy bed seemed like the best option to relax. There are a lot of personal items kept in the apartment like children's religious books, collections of half used shampoos and soaps and many small items (pens, scissors) that make it feel like you are imposing on somebody's personal space.
- Paulina (9/5): perfect for a short stay - a tiny place with a big terrace in the center of Plaka. Perfect for one person for a few nights. communication with the host was very good, i arrived in the middle of the night couse my flight was late, but i could pick up the key in a tavern near by and all went very smoothly. if i travel to Athens again i will stop there.
- Noelani (9/5): Superb -
- Tina (5/5): It was ok, a little pricey for what is was though. - Location was good a little hard to find though. I was under the impression there was a seperate living and sleep area. With perhaps a kitchenette.
- Robbie (8/5): Absolutely awesome! Have stayed in several different places in Athens and this one was the best!! - Very nice room in the heart of Plaka! Great amount of space for a solo person and really enjoyed the balcony!
- Marc (8/5): Very good -
- Earmitage (7/5): Good -
- Davies (8/5): Very good - Everything was close
- Stefano (8/5): Very good -
- Nicoleta (10/5): great stay, exceptional location but after 2 nights you will want a bigger bed than a twin. - Great location, clean. small
- Satu (8/5): Very good - Loved the locations, very close to the sights and the cute little balcony was a nice addition. I would of liked a little more instructions on how to get to the key pick up location. It was quite a hike with my bags from the trainstation and probably would have taken a cab if I would of known there were so many stairs.
- Maciej (9/5): Superb -
- O'rourke (10/5): Excellent location - Great location near to all the sights. Maria was a Lovely host and was very helpful. Tinier than i expected but enough for one person.
- Ellinor (10/5): Wonderful small location with a roof terrace in the old town of Athens. - Very friendly und welcoming host. A perfect, central location with a small roof terrace in the old town of Athens. Wonderful small location.
