Guest Reviews

• Nenito (9/5): We enjoyed Athens , Greece and food . - Location None
• Guest (10/5): -
• Rita (6/5): Fin beliggenhed, men lejligheden er mørk og der kan ikke luftes ud pga. lugte udenfor. - Lejlighed ligger meget tæt på Akropolis og centrum og er fint indrettet. Vinduerne vender mod smal indergård med høje vægge omkring - lejlighed virkede derfor mørk. Det lugtede af diesel da vi åbnede vinduer - vi kunne ikke lufte ud.
• Christopher (9/5): - The location was excellent and situated in a beautiful little neighborhood. The place itself was tidy, pleasantly decorated and felt wonderful after a long journey.
• Christoforos (7/5): -
• jacqueline (8/5): Uitstekend appartement, comfortabel en leuke buurt. - Ligging Douche liep niet goed door en er was geen haak om de douchekop aanbod te hangen zodat je onder de douche kon staan
• JOSE FRANCISCO (9/5): La ubicación y el silencio - La ubicación y el silencio. Cama cómoda Las toallas
• Małgorzata (10/5): Super baza do zwiedzania. - Bardzo blisko Akropolu. Blisko innych miejsc turystycznych. Czysto. Wszystkie udogodnienia są dostępne. Kawa, herbata, środki do prania.
• James (9/5): Wonderful apartment in the heart of Athens. - Comfortable bed and living area. Clean and as-described in the listing. Location was convenient to Acropolis and metro station. Communication with the management office was a bit cumbersome and unclear.
• zhong (10/5): - everything is good！ No
• dimas9009 (10/5): -
• ANTONINO (5/5): - Silenziosa, non molto distante dall'acropoli. Pulizia discreta. Buona per una coppia. Se si più persone la sconsiglio Acqua calda devi accendere un interruttore appena sei in camera aspettare 15/20 minuti e dopo puoi fare doccia, a fine utilizzo spegni tutto. Prossima doccia rifai operazione. DOCCIA spaziosa MA la doccetta NON RISULTA FISSATA inoltre ad ogni chiusura e apertura di acqua devi premere un bottone del rubinetto, ti devi alternare mani che tengono la doccia con attenzione che l'acqua non schizzi fuori. ADATTA SOLO A PERSONE CON TANTISSIMA PAZIENZA-I balconi prospettano su un muro distante un 3 metri dal balcone e luogo poco pulito. Lo sconsiglio assolutamente ai giovani in quanto la movida è lontana dal luogo dove è ubicato appartamento. Fatto il check out non hai nessuna possibilità, nella struttura, dove lasciare i bagagli. Hai solo possibilità di lasciarli in punti specifici pagando. Ma se devi ripartire nel tardo pomeriggio il costo oscilla tra i 18/20 euro se hai pochi bagagli. Io avendo molti bagagli in quanto eravamo in 3 il costo era di circa 90 euro, ho trovato una soluzione con altro STRUTTURA che ha ospitato, capendo la problematica, gratuitamente (ovviamente ho lasciato mancia). PER i prezzi della struttura che pratica meglio HOTEL
• Marco (6/5): Nice location, but annoying communications with their office - Excellent position Dark property (ground floor, we knew), flimsy appliances, most annoying was the flurry of (mostly automated) messages from their office, some useless,some redundant, some plain wrong (they asked me to re-upload the ID, when it has uploaded correctly, and I had to ask for a check). At check-in time the cleaner was still in the apartment.
• Lore_Nicky (10/5): -
• Aliakbar (10/5): - Clean, facilities, location Nothing
• Hella (8/5): -
• Louise (9/5): Great apartment for city break - Brilliant location, 5 mins walk to the Acropolis and local metro station. Lots of bars, restaurants and cafes nearby. Very clean, well equipped apartment, ideal for a city break. Easy check in. The balcony was only a Juliet balcony so not suitable to sit on. Also, no holder for the shower head so had to hold with hand.
• Brendan (9/5): Superb - Location was excellent! And the price for that location was great value for money. It had enough basic facilities to cook your own meals but we never did. Double bedroom was nice, double sofa bed was as good as can be expected. Washing machine was a plus. This was a ground floor room right next to the elevator and the entrance to the building. No corridor outside the main door so everything could be heard and it was noisy at times with people coming in and out of the building at all hours. No shower head holder at head height, it was below waist height so it had to be held, but not a big issue.
• Ana (10/5): Perfect location, amazing apartment, has everything you need. -
• Marcos (9/5): Great spot to be - Great location and a very coussy and clean space where expend the days visiting Athens. All details covered, just a perfect place to be alone or with your partner or friend
• Shira (8/5): Was good. Can be better. - Location is great. Near the Metro. 5 minutes to the acropolis museum. Few minutes walk to Plaka. Many bars and restaurants around. The best neighborhood. Apartment is big. Clean. Easy to do check in. No body mirror. Bed smell maybe people that smoke there before, also birds next to the bathroom. Hair dryer not good. Very little soap and no shampoo. You can do better for the price.
• Dziuljeta (7/5): Good -
• Michael (9/5): for a lover of night life like me, a perfect place: quiet, window has blinds, very central - great location! short distance to cultural places, nightlife, shops no breakfast but a restaurant right on the corner. quiet bedroom with blinds that close tightly so I could sleep in and relax. apartment was spotless the kitchen is fully equipped with matching, brand new equipment.
• Mohamed (9/5): Superb -
• Remus (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pétur (9/5): Superb - Great location close to Acropolis and close to various cafés and restaurants. Pillows to thick
• Jonatan (8/5): Very good -
• John (9/5): Superb -
• Douglas (10/5): A gem of a place to stay in the heart of Athens! - A very well appointed apartment, in a very quiet yet vibrant part of town, close to the metro, the Acropolis and the delights of Athens! Only having one set of keys.
• Nicolas (9/5): Superb - would have appreciated milk portions to go with the coffee
• George (10/5): Exceptional - Prefect location Renovated appartment with new furniture, new appliances, comfort matress
• Amir (10/5): Book this apartment, don't think twice. - The place is very clean. The location is perfect, in a very nice neighbourhood and near all the main attractions. The host responded to all my inquiries quickly and was very helpful. They let us leave our luggage in their office, which is only 8 minutes away, till 5 pm with no extra charge. This place is a very good catch with good value for money. It's totally recommended. The only thing missing is a nice view, but this really won't be an issue as you will be spending most of your time exploring outside. The shower needs a higher stand.
• Jing (10/5): Exceptional - The location is good, close to acropolis and metro station. There are lots of restaurants and mini supermarket nearby. The apartment has everything high-end, sparking clean, with washing machine and dryer integrated. There are two tiny balconies. AC is very quiet. Bathroom is very new and clean. Our family are very satisfied with this stay. toilet cover needs to be adjusted to fit the base.
• Spiro (10/5): Exceptional - Great place with everything you need, great location to get around, not far from train and bus stops and Acropolis a short walk away
• Nemanja (8/5): Very good -
• Regina (8/5): Very good - The location is great and centrally located in a nice neighborhood Koukaki. You can walk to the Acropolis, Plaka etc. The aircon in the bedroom and living room is a plus. The toilet seat should be renewed asap because the toilet lid always falls down. It was such a struggle to open it without the lid falling down.
• Kristina (9/5): Great, walking distance to the heart of Athens - Great location, modern apartment, had everything we needed. Easy communication with the host and they even offered for us to leave our luggage at their office after check out. Definitely recommend for a couple! The toilet seat cover kept falling and the whole seat was moving, probably time to change it. Also definitely consider adding a static shower head, the small moving one .
• Carlo (8/5): Very good -
• Petr (10/5): Exceptional -
• Louella (9/5): Superb - A centrally located apartment in a hip area of Athens. Lots of great eateries around though still very quiet in the evening. Had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable. Had 2! AC units. The washing machine was also a dryer which was very convenient for us. Host was very helpful in organizing alternate accommodation for us when our ferry was delayed a whole day during Easter. The shower head was lower than standard and not adjustable.
• Paweł (9/5): Superb - Great location, close to Acropolis and city center. Helpful hosts, good contact. The place is well equipped, convenient, suitable for a pair. Small inconveniences - toilet desk requires fixing, cumbersome drying rack and ironing board.
• Nikos (8/5): Very good - I stayed 4 nights and I asked for a second pair of towels and they said is upon charge. For such a period I consider substantial to have a second pair. They have never charged me for such a request.
• Travelling (8/5): Very good -
• Lucian (10/5): An extraordinary accommodation in Athens! - The accommodations also contributed to a wonderful time in Athens. The property is in a prime location, close to some of Athens' most picturesque neighborhoods. Having said that, the apartment is on a peaceful street and is in close proximity to the Acropolis, as well as supermarkets, bus and metro stations, restaurants, cafes, and more. The flat was spotless and had all the necessary amenities, which I greatly appreciated. This place will be our go-to from now on!
• Matt (9/5): Superb -
• Shannon (9/5): Superb - Excellent location, within 10 minute walk of most of the historical sites.
• Hadfield (8/5): Very good -
• Barbara (10/5): Fabulous place 2 minute walking distance from Acropolis and metro - would definitely book it again! - I missed the email with the key information, so I phoned, and somebody immediately came and brought me the key. Very nice. An English leaflet how to handle the air conditioning would have been helpful. I figured it out, but still...
• Nga (10/5): The property is very easy to get around. The apartment is fully furnished with all the comforts of home. I really like -
• Sandronunes (10/5): Amazing location and confortable and pleasing stay - The location is superb. You can visit all the major sights by walk and it is situated on a very calm area. The apartment is very new and clean. The bed is very confortable and the shower has good pressure. The apartment doesn't get too much sun light nor has any balcony, but since we spend most of the time outside visiting that didn't bother us.
• Corina (10/5): It was an amazing stay - The property was modern, clean, cozy and very close to the Acropolis. nothing

• Jesse (8/5): Very good -
• Laura (9/5): Nice appartement with perfect location - Perfect location in quite neighbourhood. Comfortable bed and cosy living room. We didn't use the kitchen, but it looked good and clean. The view outside is in a small street with airconditioning units, so not a lot to see. The shower head was not mounted on the wall, which makes it quite uncomfortable to take a shower.
• Nat (9/5): Superb -
