Guest Reviews

• Levi (9/5): George was a great host and we enjoyed our stay at Plaka House - Great location. Helpful host and easy checkin. Building has an elevator for easy access with luggage.
• Efstathia (6/5): - Τοποθεσία. Πρόκες στους τοίχους, προχειρότητα χωρίς φροντίδα του χώρου.
• Diana (8/5): - Die Lage in die Altstadt ist wunderbar nah. Das Zimmer und der Balkon sind wundervoll. Man kann gut die untergehende Sonne beobachten. Man hat einen weiten Blick und nicht nur auf das nächste Wohnhaus. Ein guter Ausgangspunkt für viele Besichtigungen.
• Desiree (8/5): Posizione ottima da migliorare l alloggio in sé per assicurare un soggiorno confortevole - La posizione è ottima La struttura si trova in una posizione molto centrale, che consente di raggiungere comodamente a piedi le principali attrazioni. Tuttavia, con alcuni accorgimenti il soggiorno sarebbe stato decisamente più confortevole. Nel bagno, ad esempio, mancano appendini per gli asciugamani e l’asciugacapelli risultava quasi inutilizzabile perché danneggiato e malfunzionante. Non abbiamo utilizzato il piano a induzione; solo una sera abbiamo usato il forno a microonde, che però emanava cattivo odore ed era piuttosto sporco. Al nostro arrivo abbiamo trovato gli asciugamani sporchi e due cuscini molto sottili. Abbiamo segnalato il problema all’host, che si è mostrato disponibile e tempestivo nel rispondere, portando altri due asciugamani e due cuscini. Purtroppo, anche i nuovi asciugamani risultavano sporchi. In generale, pur apprezzando la disponibilità dell’host, lenzuola e asciugamani non erano adeguatamente puliti

• umazaru (10/5): アテネの夜をバルコニーで！ - シンタグマ広場から数分で着けます。部屋のベランダからアクロポリスの一部も見えるし、毎日の食事はバルコニーで摂りました。周辺にはスーパーや飲食店ご並び便利です。 炊事道具や食器を充実して欲しい。翌日のタオル掛を修理して下さい。
• Σοφια (10/5): Απιστευτο - Πολυ καλη επικοινωνια με τον ιδιοκτητη. Πολυ καλη τοποθεσια. Το προτιμουμε παντα!! Καθαρο πολυ ωραια θεα και σε εξαιρετικο σημειο.

• Martina (9/5): Meine Nummer 1 Unterkunft in Athen - super zentrale Lage und trotzdem ruhig. Jederzeit wieder! - Top Lage und Preis/Leistungsverhältnis - Alles vorhanden was man benötigt! Wunderschöne grosse Terrasse - Tolles WLAN super wenn man auch arbeiten muss. War bereits zum 2x in dieser Unterkunft. Meine Nummer eins Adresse für Athen. Die Handtuchhalter gehören nachgeschraubt, sowie auch der WC - Sitz. Hätte ich gemacht wenn ich einen Schraubenzieher gefunden hätte. Sind aber aus meiner Sicht keine Riesen Mängel , beeinträchtigt nicht das Wohlfühl Feeling in dieser Unterkunft!
• Maria (7/5): Πολύ καλή κα κεντρική τοποθεσία, όμορφη θέα! - Η τοποθεσία και η θέα! Το κρεβάτι και τα μαξιλάρια. Επίσης, δεν είχε να κρεμάσεις την πετσέτα σου δίπλα από τον καθρέπτη. Θα μπορούσε να είχε παντόφλες μιας χρήσης και μπουκαλάκια νερό.

• Katarína (7/5): - Poloha apartmánu Komunikácia majiteľa Vylezane postele Nepohodlné vankúše Byt bol napachnuty od cigariet

• Lilie Michala (7/5): - Ήταν πολύ κοντά στο κέντρο και απίστευτα βολικό για το λόγο που ήμουν Αθήνα Έλειπε καφές από τη καφετιέρα οι παροχές ήταν λιγοστές αλλά για ένα βράδυ ήταν μια χαρά
• Helena (9/5): -
• elif (8/5): - Konumu çok çok iyiydi, gün içinde planımızı değiştirmeden eve uğrama şansımızın olması bence büyük bir avantajdı. Ayrıca terası çok keyifliydi, çok dikkatli bakınca acropolisin küçük bir kısmını da görebiliyorduk :) Saç kurutma makinesi sanırım bozuktu çok ilginç sesler çıkarıyordu.
• EFTHYMIA (10/5): -
• marcelo (8/5): - La ubicación en la ciudad y el amplio balcón. El anfitrión respondió siempre a los requerimientos Quizás sería mejor contar con un sofá cama de dos plazas antes que tener la cama armada todo el tiempo en un mono ambiente. El secador de pelo hacía un ruido anormal.
• Robert (9/5): - Location was excellent. Friendly host to welcome us. Large balcony to relax and view city.
• Kestutis (10/5): - The location, the balcony and the view from it.
• Reinhard (6/5): -
• Hoy (8/5): If we’re in Athens again for a few nights, we’d be delighted to stay here again. - Super location; in the beating heart of the city, easy to find and to get to. Host very responsive. Fair value and clean. Hairdryer didn’t work, no teaspoons and more than 2 coffee pods would have been useful. Clothes hanging space was ugly.
• dan (8/5): - La terrasse, la localisation Les bars en bas de l’immeuble, le manque d’ustensiles de cuisine
• PANAYIOTA (6/5): -
• sandrine (8/5): -
• Haralampos (10/5): -
• Matt (10/5): Last minute booking, would definitely recommend - Location was perfect. Nothing
• Amine (8/5): Grand studio avec magnifique terasse très bien situé - Localisation Terasse avec vue sur l'Acropole Grand studio Propre Literie ( matelas à revoir) Climatisation faible
• Lukas (6/5): Amazing location and clean, but horrible mattress and boiler. - The location of the room is amazing. It’s as good as you can get. It’s surrounded by great restaurants and bars, you can see part of the Acropolis, and it’s close to public transport and all major attractions. The house was clean, and the airconditioning worked perfectly. The terrace is also very nice, though we didn’t use it. There is a club downstairs and it can get noisy, but the noise is not at all noticeable in the apartment with the windows closed and AC on. The bed is absolutely horrible. You can feel the springs, and there is little structural integrity. You are pushed to the inside of the bed, so a good night’s rest is impossible. I saw reviews about the bed from years ago, and considering the price they charge, it should be an absolute no-brainer to simply get a new ikea mattress and avoid bad reviews. Having to heat up the boiler 20 minutes before using the shower is also very inconvenient, as it made us have to get up 20 minutes earlier, after what was already a difficult night.
• elena gabriela (8/5): - View , location , space The ac wasn’t working
• VEYSEL (8/5): Konum olarak çok iyi ev sahibi gayet ilgili balkon geniş ve ferah tek sıkıntı yatak - Konumu mükemmel Sytagma meydanına 2 dakika Yatak çok rahatsız edici ve sürekli gıcırdıyor
• Neyda (7/5): We’re passing through Athens - Good location No concierge
• Emanuela (8/5): - La posizione è comodissima, la vista dal balcone è eccezionale e la camera era pulita. Il materasso è un po' scomodo e purtroppo il quartiere (ne abbiamo trovata anche una nell'ascensore del condominio) è invaso da blatte...! Ci tengo a precisare, nessuna all'interno dell' appartamento.
• Victoria (10/5): - Right in the centre of Athens, but not noisy. Within walking distance of Syntagma Square, Monastiraki, Plaka and the Akropolis. Nice bars and places to eat close by. Clear instructions on how to access the house. Lovely view!
• Madison (10/5): Très bien - Position et disponibilité du propriétaire Ras
• Kathryn (8/5): Thanks for a great one night stay - Great location, beautiful balcony, very clean place! Very responsive host. The bed is not comfortable
• Bithusha (7/5): Overall it was good! - The host was clear with instructions and responsive! The location was amazing. Although it was loud outside you weren’t able to hear the noise inside the property. The property has an elevator which is great when you have kids! The bed was not comfortable at all! It takes time for the water in the shower to adjust to the temperature you set it at.
• Neri (9/5): Superb - Great location. Spacious. Equipped with everything you need. The bed was okay but I’ve had more comfortable ones
• Ruxandra (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sepideh (10/5): Amazing location—super close to all the hot spots in town and easy to get around. Most places were just a short walk awa - Location was fabulous!
• John (8/5): Very good - N/a Location is fantastic Bed very uncomfortable
• Ilya (9/5): Recommended - Centric location. Great terrace. It has all the facilities you need. Communication with the host was smooth. Some basic maintenance would be nice to have (e.g. walls plaster is broken in a couple of places, bed mattress may be replaced)
• Sylvia (4/5): Disappointing -
• Grigorios (9/5): Superb -
• Marilena (9/5): Superb -
• Maria (9/5): Superb - Best location The bed mattress could be better
• Γιωργος (9/5): Superb -

• Shahieda (8/5): Very good -
• Elif (9/5): Amazing flat at the heart of the city, friendly and helpful host <3 - Location, flat itself, balcony and city view, host Heating can be better
• Saptarshi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Martin (5/5): We enjoyed Athens which is a lovely city but not so much our stay at Plaka House. - The apartment is in an ideal location with all amenities close by and very close to all the sightseeing areas. The balcony had a wonderful view. It was clean and tidy with a nice seating area. Bathroom The Chrome mixer shower tap is extremely hot whilst in use and led to my partner having a burn mark on her back. This caused great distress and pain and is extremely dangerous The mixer tap control in the bathroom sink comes off in your hand when trying to use it. Bedroom The mattress is so uncomfortable that we both struggled to get some sleep and suffered a lot of back pain The mattress is too small for the base of the bed which then makes the base protrude and on more than one occasion we knocked our shins. The bedroom has no mirror and very little storage. The kettle leaks out of the bottom of the handle when pouring which is very dangerous. The ice compartment in the refrigerator doesn’t freeze and there is a mass of ice inside it. A Half eaten ice cream cup was in the freezer when we arrived. Host There was a lack of communication from ‘George’ and we had to message more than once asking for entry details to the apartment. Better directions to the apartment were needed as it is a very built up area and somewhat confusing. We did call George as we were struggling to find the apartment but there was no answer. Luckily a local gentleman was very helpful and guided us to the apartments location.
• Laura (10/5): Fantastic gem x - Spacious. bed comfy. clean ...fab views . Very safe area. Lots of restaurants . Nothing at all.. but 2 extra firm pillows needed
• Elaine (8/5): Very good - Location
• Jaime (4/5): Unclean apartment that doesn’t resemble photos - The location was good - in Plaka but not on a hyper-touristy street. The apartment was dirty upon arrival and in terrible condition. The floors were not cleaned and had visible dirt marks. The walls were in bad shape, and the apartment reeked of tobacco. The photos on the listing appear out-of-date as everything appeared old. I also have to mention the entryway and elevator of the building were quite creepy, and i had to chase the host the day of arrival for details on how to access the apartment. We did not feel comfortable staying overnight in this very clearly uncleaned apartment, and booked another lodging instead.
• Nikos (8/5): Very good - Location is very central, the room sits on the top floor and was quiet, the room was clean. The air conditioner could be more powerful
• Paulina (10/5): Excellent accommodation for a couple. The location is perfect and its facilities too. - The location was perfect! And its balcony too! -
• Anonymous (5/5): Great location, but smells like smoke... - Great location, short walk from metro station, nice sushi restaurant downstairs Strong smoke smell inside the apartment (probably in the carpet / curtains) to the point that all the clothes I was wearing during the trip smelled like smoke when we left...
• Basem (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nikos (9/5): Superb -
• Meirav (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pantelis (8/5): Very good -
• Rosina (7/5): Good - Good location, cafes & bars close by. Close to transport. Good having kitchenette. Nice large balcony. Bathroom a little small but still ok. George was easily contactable. Bed mattress was too firm/hard
• Adelina (9/5): Superb - Located in the heart of the city. Close to everything, at a walking distance. Splendid view over Temple of Hefaistos. George is a great host! Enjoyed our stay here!
• Susan (10/5): Fab apartment close to everything - Superb location for a great roomy very comfortable clean easily accessible flat; certainly made our stay in Athens ever so more enjoyable; George very easy to deal with; kept in contact; no problems or issues at all; highly recommended
• Lisa (8/5): Comfortable room , perfect location , easy access to places..walking dinstance... - Fully informed , safe and easy access in the building. To have been given all these instruction earlier ...before arrival
• Odysseas (8/5): Awesome location - The location was great, it had a nice view on the big balcony and it was quiet. It could be cleaner.
• P (10/5): Comfortable stay with an excellent location - Excellent location, close to everything. Host is kind and responsive. It has a large balcony with great view where you can enjoy your drink, etc. Quiet enough to have a comfortable sleep. I will prefer this place again at my next visit
• Arxavli (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mahmoud (10/5): Amazing place 🤩 - The studio is located in the nice Plaka district. It's very close to Syntagma square and metro station that goes directly from and to the airport. This area has many cafes, restaurants, shops and galleries. The studio is on the 5th floor, high enough from the noise and city pollution. The building and street are safe and clean, and the elevator is well maintained and spacious The room was clean and full of light. The balcony is huge and you can see from a distance one of the monuments. The bed is big and comfortable. The kitchenette was fully equiped, and it was great to have a coffee machine with complimentary capsules (although they weren't enough for the whole stay). We were supplied with towels, hands and dish soap. TV and air-conditioning units are also available but we didn't need them. The WiFi was strong.. Easy and clear instructions from the owner prior to our travel so you know what to do in advance in case you still don't have a SIM card or WiFi on arrival. Thanks George for your rapid response and frequent checking during our stay. Only some comments: A washing machine would be a plus. Many kitchen utensils need to be added. Additional towels must be available for longer stays. Some humidity on the wall by the window that needs repair. An amazing place, I will definitely stay there next time.
• Peter (6/5): We loved the location and some of the facilities however the cleaning and maintenance let the property down. - Size, location, view and balcony space. Air conditioner worked well. Lots of long term mould growing around shower door guides and shower door especially at bottom. Floors in main living area were not clean. They appeared to be swept but not mopped. One sleeping pillow on the bed looked and felt like a small lumpy bag of laundry. It was half the size of the other. Only 2 bed pillows were in the unit so had to use it.
• Svetana (8/5): Everything was perfect. Big room with good view, very close to Sintagma metro station. -
• Nurten (7/5): Good -
• Kaira (5/5): Passable - Very nice and cozy apartment with an amazing view of Hefaistos tempel and buterful sunsets. Very nice location of the apartment. The bed was very hard and you could feel every bed springs drilling into your body while laing on the bead. So uncomfortable that we slept awful and were tierd during days. I strongly recommend to by an upper madrass to have on top of the bed, and until then I would not recommend to stay here for a longer time for a romantic vacation.
• Magdalena (7/5): Good - The balcony and the view is splendid.
• Josephine6 (9/5): Superb - Very nice and clean appartment, superb terrace, in the center of Athens. Lovely neighbourhood ! I immediately felt at home :-) Nothing
• Elaine (9/5): Convenient location - The location is convenient. Lots of restaurants and bars are nearby. Walking distance to most of the tourist attractions. The room is large enough for two people and the balcony is huge. Unfortunately we didn't have time to enjoy the balcony. Since there are lot of bars nearby, it got very noisy at late night and early morning. The bed was ok, but the pillows were uncomfortable.
• Anonymous (10/5): Excellent location with access to everything you may need - Comfortable apartment with fascinating terrace view (hint: make sure you don’t miss out the amazing sunset) at the most convenient location, right at the very heart of Athens’ city center. Excellent connection to the metro system and access to countless food and shopping facilities of great quality within walking distance. There was a minor communication hiccup and the apartment had not been cleaned in time before our arrival. The host addressed the issue immediately and even offered us a bottle of wine as an apology for the inconvenience. We’re all humans after all and such things can happen to anyone, so we didn’t consider it a big deal.
• Artur (7/5): Good -
• Sophie (10/5): Absolutely fantastic! Would definitely come again! - Plaka is the perfect district of the city if you want a bit of everything and this apartment is right in the middle of it all! Bars, restaurants and coffee shops on the doorstep. Just a few minutes walk to the main centre with shops, markets and more bars and restaurants. 15 minutes or so to the main archeological sites. You can even see a couple off the balcony! The apartment is a studio, but has everything you need. Clean, tidy and the staff are so helpful! Always just a message away. Cannot say enough for this apartment! Will definitely stay again!!! Nothing at all! Perfect!
• Azimut (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alecsandro (10/5): Cozy and Amazing place - Everything tidy and clean. Near to everything and good view!
• I. (8/5): Very good - location is superb there is complimentary water in the room, but also complimentary coffee would have been nice.
• Toni (7/5): excellent location but lacking some comforts - excellent location! good communication from host. easy check in and out bed wasn’t the comfiest! needed a 2nd set of pillows. needed more basic amenities like spare toilet roll and fresh towels
• Pavlos (9/5): satisfied , want to visit again with my wife - want to visit again with my wife all good
• Cristina (9/5): Great! - The apartment is very nice and cozy, with all you need and a very nice terrace. Location is great nearby everything and there are nice bars around to have a drink or dinner.
• Sayra (9/5): Superb -
• Peter (8/5): Great stay, loved it. - Facilities and location Only the air-conditioner could be reconditioned/replaced, works but struggled on hot days.
