Guest Reviews

• Abhishek (1/5): -
• Maria (10/5): - locatie excelenta, Plaka, Zappeion, metrou sistemul de incalzire apa - boiler cu capacitate limitata si timp de incalzire 30 de minute inainte de folosire.
• Sergio (1/5): Nos dejaron tirados sin dar explicaciones - Lo único que puedo valorar es la ubicación porque no llegamos a entrar en el apartamento Justo antes de coger el avión, nos avisaron por Booking que se había cancelado la reserva, así que llegamos a Atenas a las 18h de la tarde sin tener alojamiento y en pleno fin de semana de septiembre...estaba todo ocupado. Nos pasamos las 5 primeras horas del viaje dando vueltas con las mochilas buscando cualquier sitio donde dormir y lo peor es que en ningún momento me aclararon el motivo de la cancelación ni mucho menos me ofrecieron ayuda o una alternativa, simplemente dejaron de responder a mis mensajes. Por suerte encontramos otro apartamento en la misma zona, mucho mejor de precio y en una calle mas tranquila, pero eso fue al día siguiente, después de pasar la primera noche en un hotel de "citas" que encontramos a las 12 de la noche y pasarnos media mañana más buscando, al final todo se pudo solucionar y a día de hoy es una anécdota, pero en el momento fue una de las peores experiencias que he tenido estando de viaje.
• danny (5/5): - Location was superb Many facilities were broken or dirty
• Michelle (6/5): -
• Lucilla (1/5): NON FIDATEVI! Ci hanno svaligiato l’appartamento, un incubo - Un’esperienza terribile, i proprietari ci hanno detto che l’appartamento che avevamo prenotato inizialmente (e anche pagato!) era stato vandalizzato e ci hanno spostato in un altro appartamento poco distante. Il secondo giorno sono entrati i ladri in casa da una finestra rotta che non si chiudeva bene (ce ne siamo accorti dopo purtroppo) e ci hanno svaligiato casa rubandoci tutto, computer soldi carte di credito occhiali da sole, persino caricabatteria e passaporti. I proprietari non ci hanno riprotetto in nessuna struttura più sicura, non ci hanno rimborsato, non ci hanno aiutato in alcun modo e sono spariti non rispondendo più al cellulare, un incubo, sconsigliatissimo tutto.
• tugce (9/5): If i come to Athens again, i prefer to stay this property. That is why, i recommend it. - It’s safe place, great location, nice quality and comfortable. The building’s walls are so thin. You can heard voices that staying in other apartments. Some hours i have woke up because of the sounds.
• Ellie (5/5): Location 10/10 but property 5/10 - The property I was moved to had an incredible location The apartment had no power an hour before check in so I was moved to an alternate property. Honestly the property was not ready to have someone staying there with cupboards off their hinges and sitting against the wall, lights not working and no WiFi password given. Asking twice for the password only to get an incorrect password wasn’t ideal. The latch on the washing machine had been snapped off so I couldn’t do any washing while there. The apartment and its faculties are great just needed to be executed better.
• Christopher (1/5): We are very disappointed in bookings for not responding to our concerns despite sending messages and a detailed email. - We weren’t given the accommodation we booked. Dark, things were broken, no response from either bookings or host.
• Margarita (8/5): The location is excellent but not the insects nor cigarette smell - Location was excellent in Plaka The smell of cigarettes on towels and bedsheets. Also my daughter woke up the first night with insect bites, luckily i brought benadryl amd cortisone cream. I think the bites are from bedmites
• Louis (8/5): Great location very nice apartment with a few small issues which didnt really affect our stay too mu - the location was fantastic. The rooms was large and comfortable. We couldn't contact anyone with questions once there. We tried a couple of times. We had trouble getting the keys when we arrived cause the person with the keys was in the apartment but we were in the street, and couldn't get in the building. . We received a text saying where are you. We were there 15 min early but without being able to enter the building we were in the street. Not sure how they expected us to get the apartment where they were waiting. There was a drip type coffee maker but no pot for it in. There was another pod type maker but no pods. We had to go out and buy pods for a coffee maker that was foreign to us and didn't have coffee our first morning. Once we got the right pods everything was alright. The other thing was the fact that when you leave the apartment yo have to take the card in the door disconnects that electric cause keys are attached . Thats fine except the air conditioner was on the same circuit .So that turned off also. It was very hot and humid. We were out some days for 12 hours. It took half the night to get the apartment to cool down. Not only was that a bit uncomfortable but also isnt a good use of electricity. In trying to save energy I believe they were using more electric having to make the apartment cool down all at once.
• Megan (6/5): - Location. Responsive. We weren't able to book into the accomodation we booked that night due to an issue they had so we had to stay somewhere else that was not the same standard for the first night and then move again. Ensuite required a geat amount of ventilation and a much deeper clean.
• Emma (10/5): - Amazing location, very short walk(like 50 steps) to centre of Plaka. Comfortable bed & pillows. Apartment very spacious, and lovely balcony!
• Feldmann (9/5): Superb -
• Amanda (8/5): Very good - Location was awesome No ability to leave luggage for the day of departure
• David (8/5): Very good -
• Emily (6/5): Excellent location, cute apartment but with issues to be resolved - I did not stay at Plaka Sweet House 2 as just a few hours before check in I received a message that the accommodation was not available because of an electricity outage, and that they would accommodate me in a similar apartment. Unfortunately the replacement apartment had issues (see below), which meant it wasn’t really comparable to the one I had booked, and the owner did not provide reasonable compensation for the inconvenience (a reimbursement of only 10 euros and a cleaning, which I didn’t need). The property manager, however, was absolutely delightful and gave wonderful dining recommendations. The apartment had several issues. Most irritating was the table that didn’t fit the balcony, so it was on a severe slant. This prevented one from putting tableware or a computer on it. I tried putting 2 of the legs on ceramic bowls, to make it level, but I worried the bowls might be knocked off the balcony. The table’s size also prevented a second person from sitting at it. Several fixtures within the bathroom are broken (soap dispenser, toilet flush which doesn’t properly turn off until you go back and lightly touch it again, lights not all working).
• Sakis (10/5): Exceptional -
• Karen (10/5): I would rent it all over again. - What a charming and terrific apartment! It is in a perfect location—the street itself is quiet, but it is only 1.5 blocks from all the hustle and bustle. It is a short walk to the Acropolis and other landmark attractions. It is very easy to get a cab at any time. The apartment itself is very clean and comfortable.
• Anastasios (10/5): Exceptional -
• Robert (10/5): Exceptional - We were met by the owner/manager who was very informative, explained everything about the apartment and the area, and also our room overlooked the Acropolis and "Zeus's" cave.which he told us a story about. He exchanged his personal number to contact him any time if we needed help or to answer any queries while we were in Athens. 1st class service 👌 The apartment had everything and fully fitted out. There was no need to bring anything apart from your clothes and cosmetics. The ironing board was broken on arrival, but this was immediately exchanged. Large lounge area with pull out bed and 2 separate shower and WC. Nothing everything was perfect
• Simone (10/5): New Year's in Athens - Nice and clean apartment on the third floor with terrace in the lovely Plaka area.. Wonderful view of Acropolis from the bedroom, two bathrooms , kitchen and elevator Friendly staff with lots of suggestions for Athens Recommended🥳 Everything was fine
• Janet (10/5): It was beyond perfect. - It was in a perfect location. Close to shops, restaurants and many of the sites. It had the most exceptional view. It was quiet and a good size for a family of 4. Nothing
• Richard (10/5): Perfect - Great location and large place with stunning views of Parthenon Nil
• Monique (10/5): Central, spacious and well equipped! - Located in the best part of Athens in Plaka, you are walking distance to the Acropolis and the heart of the action. Great restaurants, cafes and bars within a stones throw. The apartment itself is spacious, with everything you need to be comfortable during your stay. The staff was very helpful and responsive. I’d highly recommend staying here on your next visit to Athens!
• Sarah (8/5): Fabulous location and view of the acropolis - Fantastic location, so convenient in the heart of the Plaka, plus it has an amazing view of the acropolis from the bedroom window. The apartment is comfortable. There are two shower rooms - one ensuite, which is functional, but the other leaks from the ceiling and the shower water pipes were covered with black slime (mould) and not hygienic. This was not immediately apparent and was not discover until in use, which was rather gross. The rest of the apartment was clean.
• Patricia (8/5): Great - Great location and very comfortable It would have been nice for one more cleaning day.
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional - Great location in the quiet part of Plaka. Close to all attractions, restaurants and shops. We would stay here again.
• Manu (5/5): Amazing location, old flat, unresponsive/unhelpful hosts. - Amazing location. Everything within a walking distance We saw a cockroach. Also we could not operate the stove, tried contacting the host through whatsapp, they were not responsive at all.. We had to then hae microwave for cooking
• Aleksandra (10/5): Loved the place, definitely recommend - The host was very helpful and suggested some places. Everything is close it is a safe area and the View is amazing. Highly recommend this place a real 10/10
• Joan (7/5): Central location, close to Acropolis Museum, friendly helpful host. - Central location, close to Acropolis Museum and Metro station. Several restaurants and grocery stores nearby. Unfortunate issue with booked apartment, but resolved reasonably in the situation, see below. Host took us to a recommended restaurant. Because of an issue with our booked apartment, we weren't able to stay in it. Our host met us, explained the situation, and found us a reasonably comparable apartment, a bit smaller and with no view. Host took us in his car to the new apartment.
• Mangroo (9/5): Superb -
• Dejan (10/5): A good choice for visiting Athens - Very good location. Quiet area at the beginning of Plaka, 200 meters from the Acropolis. A spacious and cozy apartment, with two bathrooms.
• Grigoria (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is nicely renovated. It has all the necessities that an apartment needs. It is in a very convenient location as there were a lot of things to do around like sightseeing and lots of restaurants you can try . I highly recommend staying there and I will definitely choose this apartment for my next stay .there was beautiful view. The staff were very kindly and very smiley.
• Sherry (9/5): Superb -
