• Ameer (10/5): Great location and very clean property - The location, cleanliness, and facilities inside the property were excellent. The owners were very honest and loyal. I had accidentally left some jewelry behind, and fortunately, they contacted me just a few hours after check-out — one of the most honest actions I’ve ever experienced. Overall, this property is 100% perfect, and I highly recommend it to anyone planning to visit Athens. Nothing
• Claudia (8/5): La mejor ubicación - Ubicación El bano -podría mejorarse
• Anastasia (10/5): - Perfect location,cozy apartment.
• Sackran (10/5): -
• Ana (8/5): Muy buen apartamento en el centro del barrio de Plaka - La ubicación y el apartamento en general está muy bien. La ducha seria lo que no valoramos tan positivamente. El agua se sale con facilidad y moja parte de la habitación.
• Gillian (8/5): Lovely apartment, great location for sights and good value. Not ideal if you are a light sleeper - Great location for sights, enough room for 3 people and great facilities Noise from other apartment woke me up at night and close proximity to the church meant church bells disrupted my sleep very early on weekend mornings
• DD (7/5): - Местоположението на стаята е много добро. Хигиената
• MARY (9/5): Easy beautiful break - Perfect location, kind host The balcony is a feature not advertised in the pictures but was a wonderful suprise
• Tanja (10/5): Dejlig lejlighed med perfekt placering - Perfekt beliggenhed! Vi kunne gå rundt til langt de fleste attraktioner. Dejlig lejlighed med masser af plads. Rent og pænt. Værten var meget hjælpsom. Vi vil helt sikkert anbefale det. Intet
• Julie (8/5): Très bien pour un jour ou deux - Extrêmement bien situé Charme de l’appartement Rue un peu bruyante Pas de couettes sur les lits et donc un peu froid pour dormir
• SCTPB (9/5): Beautiful, reasonably priced apt just a short walk from the Acropolis - This is a beautiful apartment located in Plaka, the "Old City" and is just a short walk from the Acropolis and most of the other historical sites in Athens. It was safe, reasonably priced, close to many excellent restaurants and bistros, and a short walk to the area with Athens nightlife. It was clean, the beds were comfortable and the AC worked well. I will definitely rent this apartment again on my next visit to Athens. Everything about this apartment was wonderful. The only possible issue would be for someone with limited strength and/or mobility. The apartment is located up two flights of circular stairs so you have to be able to carry your luggage up to the apartment. I'm 67 and in good shape and my sons and I had no problem carrying our large bags up and down the stairs.
• Charlott (10/5): - Utmärkt läge och boendet kändes rymligt tack vare den höga takhöjden. Trevligt med den lilla balkongen. Snabba svar när vi kommunicerade med värden.
• Matthew (10/5): -
• Milva (9/5): - Location No elevator
• Edina (9/5): One of the best location we ever tried in Athens - It was as on the fotos. Clean en comfortable. All basics were sufficiently foreseen. We loved that it was close to the Plaka, Acropolis(both entrances) Syntagma, old Olympic stadium and Monastiraki. We used the metro station Syntagma to reach and leave the accommodation because it was more logical and spacious. Easy access. My husband loved the terras! I can only talk about it in superlatives. Moreover, it is close to a McDonalds, after eating 2 weeks of local food, we really enjoyed it😁 As I said all was really good. Only the matras in the master bedroom was less favourable for my lower back. But this is really personal because I have this issue in many hotels unlike my husband. Nevertheless, I would go to this apartment again.
• Cornelia (10/5): Great host, excellent location, beautiful and clean property - Great communication Even had video’s showing access to properly and use of utilities
• Ayelet (10/5): - The host was very responsive to any questions. The instructions for receiving the key were very clear and very easy. The apartment’s location is excellent: a quiet street right at the edge of the beautiful Plaka streets, with all the lovely restaurants and shops. All the other tourist attractions are also within an 8–10 minute walk. The apartment itself is beautiful, very comfortable, and spotlessly clean. We highly recommend this apartment!
• Efrat (9/5): -
• Noémie (10/5): Cute, convenient and perfect location in Athens - Amazingly located, in the center of Plaka and walking distance to everything (or most) in Athens, and yet super quiet so perfect to rest after a day of discovery. Great communication and advice as well, much appreciated! The place is lovely and well decorated, instructions to get in are easy to follow. We were there for 2 nights and would stay there again for another trip to Athens. The A/C didn’t work in the main bedroom. It worked everywhere else, so the contrast was felt, and we didn’t sleep very well as a result. It’s a pity because otherwise the place was great.
• Sharon (10/5): Easy to find. Central. So homely but modern. Quiet, even though we were so central. - It was perfect for my daughter and I. Perfectly central and quiet Nothing. It was perfect in every way
• Kaila (8/5): Very good -
• Con (10/5): Perfect location - Great location Nice apartment Nothing
• Dora (9/5): Superb - Everything has been absolutely perfect, we were delighted with the apartment. - perfect for our family of 5. There was a you tube clip for self check in that was really helpful and self explanatory. The was also a property specific portal with all relevant i formation and helpful tips - most impressive. Location in Plaka is exceptional, a stone’s throw from parliament, Ermou shopping, Monastiraki etc.
• Teresa (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is very modern and perfectly located in the Plaka district. We had a party of 4 but could have easily accomidated 5. The host was amazing and was available to us with quick information and recommendations for places to see and driver help if needed. It was a wonderful stay. The apartment is located up several stairs, but is considered the 1st floor. Our party had a lot of luggage coming from Zurich, Venice, and a cruise. It was difficult managing the heavy luggage up so many stairs. Even so, I would not hesitate to rent the apartment again, its was really nice.
• Jeffry (8/5): Great option in the heart of Plaka - Location is excellent. Easy walking distance to Acropolis, Parthenon, museums, markets and restaurants. Host instructions easy to follow. Would recommend!
• Konstantinos (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michelle (9/5): Superb - Location, kitchen, beds (though ladder to loft bed was steeper than it could have been). Unclear if we were to deadlock front door of building, having to turn water on and off.
• Skirmantė (10/5): Exceptional - The location is just perfect. Only one set of keys is a bit inconvenient for group of people.
• Teodora (8/5): Very good - Location is top!!! The beds were not as comfortable as expected. Also, you receive only one key, and it is not easy to come back at different times, in case of a group.
• Laura (10/5): Exceptional -
• Waseem (7/5): Convenient - Beautiful aesthetics The beds were not very comfy, no AC in bedroom
• Sarah (9/5): Superb -
• Birgit (9/5): Very comfortable space for three or four travelers in the heart of Plaka. - Nicely decorated, spotlessly clean, comfortable beds and all the supplies for a great stay in the heart of the Plaka district of Athens. Very responsive host who was helpful and knowledgeable. A broken window hinge that was damaged during a previous visitor‘s stay made the window not close entirely, so there was more noise than would be normal with a fully closed window. The host said he’s working on getting that fixed asap. Otherwise, very comfortable!
• Harvey (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ruth (8/5): Location is prime, three beds is a plus, amentities are limited, inconvenient having one set of keys - The directions to retrieve the keys were self-explanatory since the hosts have a check-in portal that breaks everything down. The location is what makes this place amazing. It's within walking distance of all the historical sites. There are three separate beds, one queen, one full size, and one twin bed, making it very easy for a family or small friend group of three to four people. I recommend the guests use the transportation option the host has because it costs 45 euros to use their services vs 65-70 euros using a taxi. Also this location makes it easy for any taxis or car service to drop you off at the front vs some places where the streets are closed making you walk with your luggage to enter into your lodging. As I said the location is key, however, there are some downsides which are: 1) This is not a hotel so there is not an attendant to help or get immediate help. 2) The apartment is a walk-up on the second floor without an elevator or lift so keep that in mind when carrying your luggage/s. The spiral staircase is beautiful but can be challenging with people with mobility issues. 3) Since this location is in a prime location, a lot of street noise and people leaving restaurants/bars late at night into the wee hours of the morning and you hear everything. If you are a light sleeper you will need to consider the noise levels. Also, you will hear church bells very early at 5:00 am and throughout the day 4) The host will only give you one set of keys and a magnetic card that turns on the electricity and both are welded onto one key ring and you cannot separate them. What this means is you need to leave and stay as a group because if one person wants to leave and take the key, the people left at the apartment will not have any electricity. This was one of the biggest inconveniences since I couldn't leave early morning because it would mean my family wouldn't have any electricity, heat, or hot water since it's all integrated. We stayed during the winter so it could have been bearable but imagine in the summer leaving people in the apartment without any a/c. I wish the host would change this and give the guests at least two sets or change the way they turn on and off the electricity. 5) Because of the magnetic key that turns on and off electricity, the water heater is connected to this, so to heat the water we would have to manually turn on the hot water switch on the electrical panel and wait 30 minutes for the water to heat up. Even for a family of three, we had to wait in between for the water to heat up again. Not an ideal vaca after a long day. 6) Not a lot of amenities, soap/shampoo lacking, no extra pillow, comforters & towels.
• Janko (9/5): Superb -
• Rose (9/5): Perfect for families visiting Athens - Perfect location, spacious and clean, very helpful staff You could hear music from the nearby restaurant until 11pm and the other apartments
• Christopher (10/5): Had a lovely, worry free 3 nights - The location was wonderful. Liked having a kettle and fridge for tea in the morning. Coffee shop around the corner wad very nice. As an American I like more towels, but would not stop me from staying again
• Dianne (9/5): Superb - Location, decor, cleanliness A/C didn't reach bedroom very well.
• Davina (9/5): Great location perhaps not suitable for a family with older children limited space - Great location clean and comfy self check in easy and communication with host great For self contained lacked simple things like an iron. Turning hot water off and on was not convenient
• Bozena (10/5): Exceptional - It was so great to stay in the centre of Plaka district. Acropolis was just on our doorsteps. The apartment was very comfortable for three of us. We highly recommend.
• Lee (8/5): Great location, responsive host, clean and comfortable - Amazing location, clean and comfortable. No A/C in bedroom, only one A/C unit in the living room
• Christinaduffy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Leslie (9/5): The apartment was very comfortable. The location was excellent. The host got back with me quickly. - Very Easy. The YouTube video helps a lot. The air condition is not big enough to cover the apartment. The bedroom was warm.
• Melissa (10/5): Recommend for family of four! - Location, great for families. Comfortable.
• Joseph (10/5): Exceptional -
• Fiona (10/5): Loved our stay here - close to everything, comfortable and perfect - Location, size, cleanliness, everything was perfect! Five to ten minutes walk to most attractions. Owner/manager was very communicative and responsive. Highly recommend Nothing!
• Kat (7/5): Great location and lovely place! - Close to everything and secure. No air con in main bed only a fan. Stairs to take luggage up, no lift.
• Effie (10/5): Would not stay anywhere else when we return to Athens. - From the moment we communicated with host at arrival until we left, everything was perfect. Clean, comfortable and within walking distance of everything! There is nothing I can think of that I did not like.
• Mcinnes (10/5): Exceptional property that we will recommend to family and friends. We will return to in future. - Location to all most of the historical sights, shopping and restaurants that Plaka Attica has to offer. Being within walking distance to everything we wanted to see and experience made this accommodation perfect. Notwithstanding the quality of the accommodation. Highly recommend this place and we will return again to Attica and book it again. The building opposite this accommodation is a bit run down and during the week the jeweller that works across the road can see straight into Number 1 unit when the windows blinds are open. However, there is not much the host of Akrokeramo can do about it.
• Stefan (8/5): Very good - The shower needs to be redone altogether - install a glass wall instead of the curtain, redo the drain and replace the shower installation. Install a washing machine as well, and this property will easily be a 10/10.
• Tin (8/5): Very good - The apartment is located at the center of Plaka which is a few minutes walk to shopping, restaurants and historical sites including Acropolis. Is is safe to walk around busy night stall near the apartment but apartment itself is quiet at night which is excellent. The apartment is very spacious and small kitchenette. They provide only one key which is necessary to turn on/off the electricity of the whole apartment. It is inconvenient if one of members took the key and went out for a short trip, the rest suffered from heat as no electricity in the apartment. If we want to keep the key, someone has to go down 33 stairs and open the main door and take 33 stairs up to the room two times in order to keep the electricity going. It could have prevented by given two keys ( but they refuse to give 2 keys). Another thing is master bedroom has a fan only, no air-conditioning. Even we opened the door between master bed room and family room, not enough cool air goes into master bedroom. It can be fixed by adding an air conditioner in master bedroom. After that this house will be the excellent place to stay.
• Joseph (9/5): Superb -
• Paige (10/5): Exceptional -
• Melissa (8/5): Would recommend as a great place to stay. - Excellent Location. Very nicely set up apartment. Unable to let people in and the stairs are painful to transport luggage. There should be a 2nd key. Host is very friendly and responsive.
• Renae (9/5): Superb - Location was fantastic, very close to shops and restaurants. Clean and comfortable.
• Tessa (9/5): Fantastic - Fantastic location and nice apartment. Contact with the host was good and the self check in worked great. I would definitely stay here again In the weekends it can be a little bit noisy at night but that’s expected if you stay in the middle of the city centre. We weren’t bothered.
• Anita (9/5): Superb - We spent three nights there. The apartment is in a very good location, near to Acropolis and every landmarks. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby. I recommend it.
• Ghazal (10/5): This was a very good location, central to everything, and our apartment was very comfortable for me and my sisters - Very central location and comfortable apartment
• Noel (5/5): Passable - The location is excellent. The layout of the apartment is good. Having a balcony is a bonus. A advised a correct check in time. I messaged host when we were in a taxi leaving the airport. I again messaged the host when we were 30 minutes from the property. We arrived on time (5pm). No host to admit us. Called the number supplied only to be told he was busy checking guests into another property and would be about 15 minutes. He arrived 30 minutes later ( no 5:30pm). It was getting cold and dark by this stage. We check in - the electricity blew. The host reset the box and left. It blew again. We called and he came back, reset and it blew again. Turns out the hot water system was shorting so we couldn't use that. The solution was that we would have to use the shower facilities in the adjoining studio apartment. We had booked a one bedroom apartment. So, for our entire 3 night stay, we had to go next door, put the key in the slot, turn on the hot water, wait for 20 minutes for it to heat up. Twenty minutes was not long enough to heat for 2 people, so the 2nd person would end up with cold water by the end of their shower. No effort was made by the host to get an emergency repairman. I know it was the Friday night before Christmas, but even on Paros, the next night which was Christmas Eve, our house sitters were able to locate an emergency locksmith when they locked themselves out! Just saying, there is always a way! We xame to Athens for a rest and for shopping. Our limited shopping time was certInly reduced by late check in and subsequent electricity issue. Showering in another location certainly was not restful. So, very unhappy. What could have been a fabulous stay, was certainly reduced to average! Check out time is 1100. I sent a message requesting a 1230 checkout. The host would allow 1200. Given the above, I think another 30 minutes should not have been a problem. After all, the electricity issue still existed, so I hope they were not checking gusts in until it was repaired!
• Tom (8/5): Very good -
• Maria (10/5): An excellent choice in the centre of Athens! - The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. There was a bottle of water and orange juice in the fridge. There were some snacks ,coffee , tea and sugar . There was even salt, pepper and some olive oil for cooking. The apartment is 1 minute away from Ermou street and 3 minutes walk from Monastiraki metro station. Furthermore ,the communication with mr Nasos was brilliant and very quick .
• Tim (9/5): Great little apartment in perfect location. - Fantastic location. Very clean and exactly as advertised. Communication with the property managers was exceptional and the airport transfers they organised were equally reliable. Church bells early in the morning but otherwise nothing
• Jackson (9/5): Superb -
• Michael (8/5): Very central location, apartment was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for our short stay in Athens - Central location, comfortable beds, clean, helpful host. Circular staircase a bit precarious with suitcases.
• Salim (8/5): Localisation. Perfect and more efficient for single or couple !! - Localisation is perfect and the appartement is charming Host very efficient Only one key available ( keys come with the electricity card that can not be removed :) which makes thing more complicated when for a group of people
• Stephanie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tali (9/5): Superb - location, cleanness, size, design poor aircondition in the bedroom
• Jon (9/5): Superb - hard pillows
• Carmelita (3/5): fair - location bedroom is not air conditioned and the fan is not enough to cool the room
• Javier (8/5): Spacious place close to everything. - Great location and spacious for our family of 5. Very clear and proactive communication with Nasos. Apartment has a web portal explaining all property details. The main room lacks AC, and although there was a fan, it was not cool enough. We left the door opened, and overall it was ok.
• Tilani (8/5): Very good - Location was fantastic. So close to restaurants, attractions and shops. Only 1 key which meant the aircon goes off when you leave. No issue normally but we were there in a heat wave and it made it almost unbearable on return. I had to sleep with a wet towel to cool down and my husband and kids slept on the floor under the 1 air-conditioner
• Kelly (9/5): Superb -
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Susan (10/5): It was perfect for us and if we were to return to Athens we would stay here again. - The location is amazing. We arrived at the apartment at 4:00 pm. The Acropolis was a 9-minute walk, by 4:30, we were taking selfies by the Parthenon. We were also that close to Monasteraki Square and other archaeological sites such as Hadrian's library and the Agoras. The best thing, however, is that the apartment was quiet and air-conditioned and so whenever we got too hot or tired from walking in crowds, we could quickly come "home" for a refreshing break. The apartment is for five people, so we had so much space with just the two of us. (high ceilings also helped) One night we sat out on the little balcony (room for two only)and enjoyed wine which was nice.
• Ami (10/5): charming apartment, attentive, responsive host, and can’t be beat location in Plaka. - charming apartment in the heart of Plaka nothing
• Lisa (10/5): Best location and it was a perfect fit for our family of 5. - The location is amazing, quiet street, but mere steps from all of the action in Plaka! The apartment was clean and beautiful. the host was responsive and easy to work with.
• Natalie (8/5): Very good - Location was exceptional Only one set of keys
• Joshua (10/5): Exceptional -
• Angela (10/5): very comfortable, great location, everything you need if planning to cook/make meals - very modern, clean , would definitely recommend stairs were a bit much with having to carry up our luggage
• Adam (8/5): Very good -
• Parikshit (10/5): Excellent stay, will certainly book this property again if I visit Athens - The location of this property is perfect. The Acropolis is like 7 minutes walk, the Syntagma square too a 7 min walk and Monastiraki square 5 minutes. Plenty of restaurants within 10 mins of walking which includes Greek, Indian and Chinese cuisines. Many small coffee shops and Fruit juice shops are nearby. Lastly, a lot of souvenir shops, clothes shops are around too. The Acropolis Metro station is very near, so is the Syntagma station. The host was exceptionally accommodating : He arranged a Taxi for us to reach the property and his assistant was waiting for us at the property. He also accommodated our request to check-in earlier than 15.00 hrs which was great. Actually there is nothing NOT to like, but i think following could be considered as an improvement : 1) Kitchen should have a Microwave 2) Instead of a shower curtain, a proper partition would help.
• Anonymous (10/5): The perfect apartment in a beautiful city - This apartment was great! The location was better than we could have asked for, so close to everywhere that we could pop back for breaks when needed. Max 10mins walk to the acropolis and surrounding areas. Beds were comfy and all amenities were included. The host checked in to see if there was anything we needed and recommended a good car service to take us back to the airport. Two keys would have been nice but couldn’t fault it for anything else.
• Emily (9/5): good location. met all needs - great location! super close to everything!
• Eliza (10/5): Really fantastic apartment! - The location of the apartment is great, everything you need is extremely close by. Plaka is not even a minute away, Monastiraki Square and Syntagma are both about 5 minutes away and the entrance to both the Acropolis and Mt Lycabettus are about 10 minutes away in either direction. There's so many great restaurants and things to see in the immediate vicinity, seriously, the location is great! The room is also a great size, you have a balcony overlooking the street the apartment is located on, and there's some comfortable sofas and chairs in the apartment to rest up after a long day of walking around Athens. Our host Nasos and his assistant were also great communicators and made sure we were checked in efficiently and given good advice on where to go and see, and also checked up on us to make sure we were ok. Got to stress the property is great, and my problems with it are so minor that they're probably not even worth mentioning, but the apartment is located near a church who's bells ring very early in the morning. So if you like your sleep that's maybe something to consider. The TV is also positioned surprisingly high up so watching it for any amount of time longer than 5 minutes can strain your neck. Like I said, really really minor problems.
• Tzortza (9/5): loved the apartment, lovely decoration, comfortable bed, specious place, cute balcony, in the center, just a bit noisy i - good location, comfortable ans specious, clean a bit noisy from the outside, no elevator for the bags
• Ad (9/5): Great place for 4-5 people in the heart of Athens. - Excellent location, can't imagine a better one for visiting Athens. Very nice, clean and comfortable apartment with all needed equipment. Very responsive and helpful host! A bit hassle with managing water heater and balancing electrical equipment not to overload breakers. O nly single set of keys.
• Vjosa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Deborah (8/5): Very good -
• A (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ariana (9/5): Superb -
• Lesley-jayne (9/5): Perfect flat in a perfect location. We loved it. - The property was very central to everywhere. we were able to walk out and be in the middle of it all. The flat itself was very comfortable and relaxing. Not much to dislike. a tea towel to dry dishes would be handy but everything else was great.
• Melissa (10/5): Exceptional - the apartment was lovely, great location.
