Guest Reviews
- Astrid (10/5): - Das Haus ist sehr gepflegt, geschmackvoll eingerichtet und ausreichend ausgestattet Anfang Mai sind auch in Athen die Nächte kühl. Etwas dickere Bettdecken wären fein.
- Myrto-Christina (10/5): Geschmackvolles Appartement in bester Lage - Perfekte Lage, sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Der Innenhof war sehr beliebt bei allen Mitreisenden. Obwohl mitten im Zentrum, war es in der kleinen Nebenstrasse herrlich ruhig. Die Kommunikation mit Lana hat bestens funktioniert, sie war super freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Wir würden gerne wiederkommen!
- Jen (10/5): -
- hervé (10/5): - Cette maison de centre ville est idéalement située, juste à côté du musée de l’Acropole et de nombreux commerces. Parfaitement équipée elle est décorée avec goût (mention spéciale pour les plafonds dans un style antique très réussi). La terrasse à l’étage et le patio sur lequel donne un grand séjour vitré sont également très appréciables. Deux dernières précisions d’importance : la rue est vraiment calme et nôtre hôte s’est révélé très disponible ! Vraiment rien.
- Alexandra (7/5): Zentrale Lage - Die Lage war sehr zentral und in kurzer Distanz zur Altstadt. Essbereich und Küche gemütlich. Wir waren mit 6 Personen vor Ort. Die Dusche im oberen Geschoss ging aufgrund eines Wasserschadens nicht. Das wurde vorher nicht ehrlich kommuniziert obwohl der Schaden sicherlich schon länger besteht. Die zweite Dusche war nur über das untere Schlafzimmer zu betreten (Abseite im Schlafzimmer). Obere Dachterasse nicht einladend.
- Rebecca (10/5): Great house in the heart Athens - The property was very spacious, it had everything we needed to easily accommodate our family of 5 - location was super convenient to Acropolis and Plaka and the host very responsive to any queries Nothing
- AMAIA (10/5): - Todo!! Precioso!! Situado al lado' del museo de la Acropolis . Es un oasis en medio de Atenas. Amplio, limpio, muy bonito. Terraza en piso de arriba.., Dos cafeteras, hervidor, lavadora, tenderetes, micro, secador....completísimo
- James (10/5): Very pleasant, comfortable stay in a great location - Location was excellent. So close to Acropolis, pickup point for tours at Melina monument, restaurants, small supermarket around the corner.
Well equipped. Comfortable. Air conditioning and WiFi worked very well.
- Suzanne (10/5): Hele fijne locatie, fijn ruimtelijk huis, met 3 wc’s. Hele aardige host! - De lijstje en de ruimtelijkheid. Niets
- Suzanne (9/5): Lovely apartment in a great location - Lovely apartment, really close to the Acropolis, tavernas, shops, metro station. Everything we needed for a few days stay. Nothing! The stairs might not be suitable for children or elderly people but we had no problems.
- Anya (9/5): Modern villa right in the centre of Plaka - location location location
perfect spot 2 min walk to the Acropolis museum
Small supermarket around the corner too
Lovely restoration.Roof top seating area and fully equipped kitchen very secure with a locked entry gate More towels and tea towels would be nice
- Richard (8/5): An excellent base for exploring Athens - in a lovely apartment! - Beautifully decorated property, with modern, comfortable furnishings There is no dishwasher; the double bedroom upstairs would benefit from having a mirror
- Aner (10/5): Great place! - The location is great. You can walk to all central attractions. The house is big and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. There are 2 separate toilets, one bathroom with shower and sink and one bathroom with shower and toilet. Two bedrooms are on the second floor and one on the ground floor. Beds are comfortable. There is a supermarket next door. Many Restaurants in the area. The owner Lana is very responsive in Whatsapp. Easy check in. The street is quiet.. Steep stairs to the second floor.
- Seth (9/5): Perfect spot for a fun quirky place - The location was incredible. Literally blocks from everything you want but off the Main Street so it was quiet.
It was quirky and cool. Beds were super comfortable. Nothing really. It was wonderful.
- Yael (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kelly (9/5): Great location! - The property was in a great location, very close to all of the Athens sites, the Acropolis, Acropolis Museum, restaurants, markets, etc. very walkable. The property had adequate space for our family of 6, including a toddler. The owner was very communicative before and throughout our stay. The property was great, the only items that I would mention, would be those mentioned in other reviews, steep steps to the second floor, and slightly noisy ac unit in upstairs bedroom. Neither of those would stop me from staying at this property again.
- Kate (9/5): Superb - Location was great for our purpose and lots of choices for eating out near by. Nice and comfortable.
- Katarina (10/5): Perfect location for site seeing and shopping. The hosts were great at communicating. - The location, the a/c, wifi, the kitchen, bathrooms. Nothing to not like!
- Fernanda (10/5): Exceptional - Location spectacular. Communication with hostes really good. Sofas could be more clean.
- Benjamin (10/5): Great location and amazing house. It easily fit our family of five. Very near the Acropolis. -
- Tracey (9/5): Superb - The rooms were clean and the location was fantastic. We struggled to operate the AC and the upstairs AC was noisy.
- Eirini (10/5): Best place to stay in Athens - Everything about this property is exceptional; it has a beautiful and very thoughtful design. Literally an oasis in one of the busiest parts of town, a place to unwind between visiting sights, located only meters away from the Acropolis metro station.
I would also like to compliment the owners, who were exceptional hosts and made everything easy for our group of 6, which included a 3 year old.
I will definitely stay again here in the future, as I can’t think of a more optimal place to stay in Athens.
- John (9/5): Superb -
- Kim (9/5): A very comfortable stay overall. - The property was very nice and some interesting historical features. It has everything needed for a comfortable stay including basics like glad wrap, cleaning solutions etc. We really enjoyed our time as it was so central. The air con upstairs did not work all that well. The stairs to the first floor were also tricky for older visitors.
- Maryann (9/5): Location was Perfect!! Would definitely stay again!! - Great location! Very walkable to all the attractions and metro. The staff was superb in communication and very accommodating. Arrangement for transportation was great! The house was adorable! Upstairs queen room’s air conditioner a bit noisy.
- Ana (10/5): Amazing location, beautiful & comfortable space! - Location, location, location! Absolutely great to be able to walk to all the main attractions. I travelled with family (ages of our group ranged from 6 years-old to 73) and location was perfect to be able to go back to the property when someone needed a rest. The property is beautifully decorated and fully equipped with everything you need so you can relax and enjoy the stay.
It was really nice to have a convenience store right in the corner to buy anything you want.
The communication with Lana was always quick and extremely helpful. Overall an absolute great experience! I liked everything!
- Kelsey (10/5): Great location near top attractions, but also a quiet and comfortable stay. - We couldn't have asked for a better location to the Acropolis. We enjoyed being a nice walk to the Plaka neighborhood as well. The check in and check out process was very easy and instructions were very clear. Miltos and Lana were great about checking in and answering our questions throughout our stay.
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kaia (10/5): excellent place, excellent hosts! - everything
- Scott (9/5): Fantastic location! - Fantastic location and very helpful staff.
Had almost everything we needed for 5 people for a 2 night stay. Staircase very narrow and creaky.
- Neesha (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful home in a very convenient location!
- Tracy (10/5): Perfect location, gorgeous place. Would definitely come again. Thanks Miltos and Lana. Great hosts. - This was a stunning place to stay. Contemporary and full of character. Location was perfect. So close to everything including supermarket very close. Miltos and Lana were lovely and very good at communicating. The master suite was very cool and beds were very comfortable. Shower was amazing. We will definitely come again. Tracy and co. Nothing to report. Only small thing is the stairs are very narrow and steep. But easily managed. So very minor. Ant really fault anything
- Andrea (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pouyan (10/5): Excellently located 3 bedroom apartment in the heart of Athens. - Bedrooms, kitchen, living room and bathrooms were as advertised. Location is excellent as the home is within walking distance to the Acropolis and the many tourist attractions in the area. Considering the place is just used to sleep at night, the price is very high, but that’s to be expected when tourists agree to pay that much!
- Skye (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, amazing facilities, an oasis in the middle of Athens, we'll be back 😀 Nothing!
- Erika (10/5): Absolutely perfect location! - The location is great and the apartment is very nicely decorated and comfortable. There are two markets near by and many cafe options. The rooms were comfortable and clean - it was fabulous and had adequate A/C as our visit was during the heatwave!
- Lakshmi (9/5): Superb - Clean and comfortable accommodations. Great location. The sliding glass door lock was hard to use and requires multiple attempts to lock.
- Tim (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location to hang out around the Acropolis or hop on the metro and get around town. Steps from the Acropolis Museum and hundreds of restaurants and shops! Owner is responsive and very helpful!
- John (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nathan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Torbjorn (9/5): Fantastic place in Athens’ best location. Warmly recommended. - Fantastic location. Smart modern safe and well equipped. Lots of spare towels. We had a wonderful time. Owner very helpful. Terrace not really that useful. Could be furnished and made cosy. We ended up not using it.

- June (10/5): I would definitely stay there again next time I’m in Athens. - The house is in an excellent location, very close to many shops and restaurants. The host was very responsive to questions we had about the property while we were there.
- Lisa (10/5): Adorable house in an awesome location - This is a house so there was no breakfast served.
This house is located in the center of everything!
We were able to walk to Partheon, museums, shopping and a ton of amazing eateries.
We could not have been happier with the amenities. It is a nice size and absolutely adorable.
- Jennifer (9/5): Perfect location! - Comfortable accommodations in the perfect location for a short stay in Athens. Definitely could have stayed longer! Walking distance to all the sights. Nothing not to like.

Miltons has good and fast reply.
I highly recommend this house. no
- Jessica (10/5): Fantastic location, great for families. Very central. - Excellent location in the shadow of the Acropolis. Very quiet, yet in the center of Plaka. Walk everywhere and enjoy the surrounding neighbourhood, with orange trees lining the streets. Property is very well laid out for a family or group of friends. Indoor-outdoor spaces with lots of light. Very clean and well equipped. Property is even nicer than the photos. Lots of local amenities, including a grocery store and convenience store at the end of the street. Metro/bus/tram public transport all very close. Buses go direct to/from Athens Riviera beaches from the corner stop. All of Athens is on your doorstep.

- Sylvia (10/5): Beautiful, quiet, contemporary space with preserved historic details near Acropolis museum. - The location was ideal and very quiet, steps away from the Acropolis Museum. We were able to walk to everything in the city. The apartment is beautiful. Everything is custom-made to create a well designed contemporary space while preserving its historic details. We all felt at home as soon as we opened the door. Communication with the host was very easy. The AC was amazing. Thank you! I cannot wait to return!
- Jane (10/5): Excellent property in a quiet but convenient location - Brilliant location a few minutes walk to the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum and close to lovely Plaka for a huge choice of excellent bars, restaurants and shops. The facilities were excellent with everything we needed for a 5 night stay. Furnishings are contemporary and design is well thought out. It was a peaceful haven to come back to at the end of a day of sight-seeing. Nothing
