Guest Reviews

• Belinda (9/5): A+ for Athens - The owner arranged a pick up from the airport, who waited for over an hour due to flight delays with no extra charge.The location was brilliant and we could store our luggage until check-in time. They were very informative and we had basic groceries available on check-in. Will stay agsin! nothing
• Janusz (4/5): - Dobra lokalizacja. Łazienka i kuchnia.
• Dor (10/5): -
• Heather (10/5): Great! - Location. Cleanliness. Nothing
• Pagoulatos (10/5): -
• Tamas (10/5): Location, location, location - Very comfortable apartment with everything you need for a short stay. The location is superb, about 5 minutes walk from the Acropolis. Hector also gave us lots of recommendations for places to go and restaurants. We couldn't test all of them but the Family Grill he suggested was great. Nothing specific to Blue Ark. Hot water is coming from a heater that's comfortable for 4 people but needs a bit of management for 7...this is very similar everywhere in the city centre unless one goes to a hotel. Still, even for 7 people, I can fully recommend this apartment.
• Andrea (9/5): - Trotz kurzfristiger Buchung alles prima geklappt. Nette Vermieter.
• Federica (9/5): - Big apartment close to the city center and well connected with the public transportation to the main monuments of the city. Very nice host, he suggested us some Greek restaurants where to eat very good food and also what to visit in the city Small kitchen table with just 4 chairs for a big group
• Анна (10/5): - Квартира гарна, простора, зручні великі ліжка, на кухні є все необхідне для приготування їжі. Господар приємний, надав максимально інформації та залишив смаколики. Дуже гарне історичне місто. Нам все сподобалось. В супермаркеті поблизу малий вибір товарів, але голодні ми не були.
• Kacper (9/5): Udany rodzinny sylwestrowy wyjazd - Lokalizacja w centrum 10-15 minut spacerkiem na Akropol. W okolice knajpki oraz sklepy, blisko do metra i przystanku tranwajowego
• Petyo (10/5): Отличен - Всичко беше на ниво. Перфектна чистота с всички удобства и отлично местоположение.
• ΚΡΊΣΤΙ (10/5): -
• Mary Luz (9/5): Ubicación excelente. Anfitrión fantástico. - Desayuno correcto. La ubicación fantástica.Muy cerca de todas las atracciones. Nos falló la reserva de otro apartamento y el anfitrión acudió rápidamente para solucionar el problema. Muy agradecidos. Cocina y baño más actual
• Ana Maria DD (9/5): - There is a big apartment with everything you need, very close to Akropolis. The host was very nice to present us many facilities around. If you do not come by car and if it does not rain in the day you come or need to leave, then you can be almost fully satisfied. The parking situation is a big problem. For two days we didn’t move our car from the parking spot just so we wouldn’t lose it. On the third day we needed to go to Nea Makri and in the evening I had to drive around many blocks to find a spot. I finally found one about 400 meters from the apartment. Then, the next day we had to leave, and I had to walk in heavy rain to get the car. At 11:00 the cleaner rang, and we still hadn’t left the apartment because of the rain, so I hurried to load everything into the car and ended up soaked to the skin. In addition, in a corner between one of the bedrooms and the bathroom, there was a noticeable mold odor.

• luana (7/5): il mio soggiorno si è svolto bene - l’appartamento era carino. nel complesso il posto era bello e in centro Atene con ristoranti vicini la struttura era carina peccato che non ci fosse il bidè
• Вадим (9/5): - Хороше місце розташування в пішій доступності Акрополь музей , плакка та майже всі памʼятки) Власник дуже приємний, все розповів, порадив де поїсти куди піти і т д Якщо самостійно готувати, заздалегідь купіть продукти харчування так як в центрі майже немає продуктових магазинів!
• Steven (8/5): - We really like the place. It was cute, clean and spacious. The area was safe and had everything within a walking distance. The only reason why I didn’t give it a 5 star is because I wasn’t a fan of the mattresses, some were too soft and others too firm, and the pillows were too flat. Either than that everything was perfect!
• angelo (9/5): - Vicinissimo all' acropoli. Pulito e grande. Parcheggio a pagamento a 100m
• Lukáš (9/5): -
• chin (9/5): -
• Timothy (8/5): Very good - Ample sized bedrooms Clean facilities Great location (walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops and metro) Rooms got very warm at night, even when using the A/C. Not necessarily the nicest neighborhood.
• Michel (9/5): Good Pick near Plaka without the hussle and bussle - Returned many times to Koukaki neighbourhood. Easy 20 walk to Plaka
• Charmain (10/5): Exceptional - Was an easy check-in. The apartment is huge and spotless and very well equipped with wine and water in the fridge and coffee and cookies, bread and jam, which is much appreciated. The location is great, you can park your car on the street and leave it there. You can walk everywhere. Lolos restaurant was the best . Having to leave after 4 nights !
• Jesus (10/5): - Hector our host was excellent. We asked for extra towels and they were promptly delivered. We would rebook this accommodation on our next visit.
• Reka (10/5): Exceptional - Very spacious, clean, everything you needed was provided, even more -
• Jesus (10/5): - Hector was great checking us in and out. Accommodation was just as described.Staying there again for the last leg of our trip.
• Kishore (9/5): Great location - Great location, you are 1 stop away from acropolis museum and many other tourist attractions 100 to 200 steps away from street food to fine dining restaurants 2 min away from tram, metro and bus Well not sure I have over looked , this apartment comes with only one family toilet
• Vesna (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michel (9/5): Superb -
• Lefter (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, on walking distance to histotical attractions. Hector is awesome host, available all the time with advise for a restorant, bakery or coffee bar.
• Jelena (8/5): Quality stay in a quality apartment - The apartment is perfectly located, 300 meters from the Acropolis Museum, 500 meters from the Acropolis, 150 meters from the red line metro station, number 2, which takes you to Syntagma Square in 5 minutes. The apartment is in a quiet street. There were enough towels and they were of excellent quality, slippers were also provided. In the fridge, we were greeted by toasted bread, a large amount of butter and jams, as well as milk and a bottle of wine. There were also several types of coffee and machines for preparing them. The apartment has two bedrooms, a living room and a large kitchen with a dining room. Each room has a TV and air conditioning. The apartment has central heating, but we occasionally used air conditioners for additional heating, which helped, but would need to be replaced with newer ones. The entire apartment was clean and equipped with enough dishes, if someone wanted to cook, although I think it is unnecessary, since there are a large number of restaurants with excellent Greek cuisine near the apartment. Since we stayed during the New Year, we were greeted by a decorated Christmas tree in the living room, which was very nice. I think that whoever chooses this apartment for their stay will not regret it. Nothing
• Petr (9/5): Superb - Very nice place close to center . When you want to visi Athens this place offer very good choice to go anywhere. Restaurants and shops very close to house.
• Marty (8/5): - The Apartment was lovely and the beds were Great! There was a market, local coffee shops, and restaurants nearby. I'd definitely stay here again! When we were there, we had issues with some scaffolding along the sidewalk. We Never saw Anyone actually Working on it.
• Goran (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, comfortable, great host and communication, everything was perfect Nothing
• Rodney (10/5): The apartment location is very comfortable, spacious and only 1km from the Acropolis. The host and the little extra thou - Everything Not one thing
• Lorant (10/5): Exceptional - It is exactly where it has to be for a city trip. Kind staff, good location and value for money Finding a parking place is tricky.
• jane rochelle (10/5): - The best choice for the family with children everything nearby wow. Very accommodating and great communication. Everything comfortable bed and pillows and even washed our clothes.... EXCELLENT CHOICE. Thank you very much.
• Tanyo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stephanie (10/5): Fantastic Place to Stay - Fantastic stay! Our family stayed in Athens for a couple of days before we headed to the islands. The location of this place was PERFECT. It was within walking distance of everything we wanted to see, but it also wasn’t in a loud neighborhood—a really great balance. The owner of the property was very accommodating and provided us with many great ideas for things to do and places to eat. The list of restaurants was our favorite part! We ate at a lot of places where locals like, rather than the touristy restaurants. This apartment was very clean and well-maintained. We took a midday break in between sightseeing, and were able to comfortably rest in the air conditioned apartment. I highly recommend this place and would come back without a doubt.
• Rafal (10/5): Exceptional - The host was incredibly professional. Clear communication and proactive approach and instructions. Made sure we were well. Small attention at our arrival (bread, marmelade, cereals for our first morning). Quiet and clean premises. Very well located. Highly recommended. We had a great time in Athenes. Thank you Hector.
• Annie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Donald (8/5): Excellent location and comfortable apartment. - Good location, comfortable apartment. Very minor niggles - batteries in remote for air conditioning /tv needed replacing, no spare bedding for sofa bed. These are minor points, however, and overall we really enjoyed our stay at Blue Ark.
• Eric (10/5): - The property was located very close to the subway and just 5 minutes from the restaurants at Plaka.
• Andrei (10/5): - The property was super-clean. Hector, the property manager, connected with us via text ahead of time and was accessible and helpful throughout our stay. Beds were comfortable. The apartment is located within a short walk to The Acropolis. We were very happy with this apartment. Check-in / check-out instructions were simple and easy to follow. Excellent choice for stay in Athens.
• Aubrey (8/5): Great Place Near the Acropolis - This is one of multiple properties which Blue Ark has in the city, and this one is within a 5-10 minute walk of the Acropolis metro station. The area around the property was safe and pretty walkable. There are multiple places to eat all around it. The apartment has everything you’ll need to get by while you stay there. The sheets and floors were all clean. The AC worked very well in both bedrooms and the common area. The only major downside were the beds which were a little uncomfortable, but definitely not a deal breaker. I can easily recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Athens a few nights to see the major sights in the city.
• Fabrizio (10/5): Exceptional - Clean, confortable, very nice welcome breakfast, excellent position, the host very kind and available for any need
• Kristina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pavlos (10/5): Exceptional -
• John (10/5): - We were 7 people and everything was comfortable and spacious. We loved the welcome basket, the comfortable beds and the location of the apartment
• Alessandro (10/5): Perfect stay for a group of 6 - Perfect sstay. Amazing location , clean and confy apartment. The host (Hector) has been very kind. He explained everything and gave us good suggestions. All has been great
• Sofy (10/5): - Spacious apartment in a quite street near Acropolis. We enjoyed our welcome basket and the host was very friendly
• Senlin (8/5): A very pleasant stay at Athens - They provided two kinds of oatmeal and children loved the chocolate-flavored one. The grocery shop nearby meets all our needs. The microwave oven is a surprise as we read about the lack of that in the previous review, but they are surely listening to the feedback. The cloth washing machine is a little struggled to spin-dry the washed clothes, than one may expect.
• Gabriela (10/5): - Great location and lovely apartment!! Could not ask for a better spot on a trip to Athens.
• John (10/5): - It was our best experiance through Expedia! Great apartment, very clean and spacious, fantastic location and the best host you can get
• Victor (10/5): Exceptional - Large and clean Host should send check in info earlier, 24h before check in for example. We arrived to the place and cannot check in as we don’t have internet to see his message, after 45 minutes waiting I was able to get wifi nearby and call his WhatsApp. The host is very kind. Thank you.
• דודי (10/5): Exceptional -
• Steven (9/5): Really lovely base to explore Athens - Apartment perfectly located for walking round tourist Athens and for food, recommendations from host for places to eat etc were extremely helpful. Wifi was good. Apartment well equipped and spacious. Gifts of food/sweets/coffee much appreciated. Bit of road noise
• Michel (10/5): - Located just a stone's throw away from the majestic Acropolis, this cozy apartment is a hidden gem in the heart of Athens. Its prime location makes it an ideal choice for travelers eager to explore the city's ancient wonders. Despite its proximity to the bustling tourist hub, the apartment offers a peaceful retreat, allowing guests to unwind after a day of sightseeing. With its comfortable amenities and friendly hosts, it provides a welcoming haven for anyone looking to experience the magic of Athens up close.
• Jackson (10/5): - Our recent stay in this family apartment near Acropolis was fantastic! The location was unbeatable, just steps from the Acropolis, making sightseeing a breeze. The apartment itself was spacious, well-designed, and equipped with everything a family needs. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond. Our experience was memorable, and we would absolutely return for future visits to Athens. Highly recommended!
• Marina (10/5): - It was a great stay. The apartment is very central, next to Acropolis museum and to the metro station It has everything you need to feel at home. The host is friendly and we had great communication
• Ken (9/5): Recommended - Clean and very convenient place for sightseeing, as close to major places. Really nice cafe is located nearby. Metro station is also close. We enjoyed breads and candies in the room. I informed staff of our late arrival around 11pm in advance. However, we didn’t get informed on how to get access in advance, so we needed to call him several times in front of the building. Furthermore, unfortunately the key box was broken. He came to the venue quickly and was friendly to us, which was good. Maybe we are a little bit unfortunate but the apartment itself is very good, as mentioned.
• Jean (8/5): Overall a nice, clean and spacious apartment at a good location. - Nice location. Within minutes of walking to Acropolis and metro. Clean spacious apartment with well stocked kitchen. 1) Key Collection - I informed the owner a few days prior re. my early arrival at 10.30am and also sent him updates when I arrived at the airport and when I got on the transport to the apartment. Waited more than 30mins standing by the roadside with all our luggages and kids for the keys. - Need to heat water 1 hour in advance for the water heater to work in the bathroom - Sofa bed is really not for sleeping. You can feel the metal frame under the bed. Don’t rely on it.
• Mirela (9/5): Superb -
• Dina (9/5): Great location, great staff at the apartment has all the hospitable extras. I recommend. - Staff was great and welcomed us in person. The location is very close to all attractions. Just a short walk to Plaka and the acropolis the apartment had everything you needed a washer, stove, top, large fridge, and a little bit of extras like bread and marmalade for breakfast toast. The owners also provided coffee – – huge bonus Great place and I recommend to everyone
• Cornoiu (10/5): Exceptional -

• Iliarii (9/5): Superb - Everything great 👍 perfect for family of 4 people. Nice location
• Elizabeth (10/5): Overall a lovely apartment, with easy access to important Athens sights. - For us this location is great. Some people would want a better view, but that was not an issue for us. The size of the apartment was very good. The host provided espresso, bread, marmalade, drinking water and a bottle of wine. We were late arriving and Olga waited for us to let us in, found us a parking spot and recommended places to eat close by, like Kalyvas Family Grill. Parking is an issue in this neighborhood.
• Joe (10/5): Better than the photos - We are traveling all the time, but it was the first time we had such a great hospitaly and place to rest. Akis is unique persons to have as your host, caring and profesional. The apartment is located next to Acropolis museum in a beautifull, safe area og Athern city center.
• Jindra (10/5): Everything great and location the best one -
• Owen (10/5): Perfect location and host for a great holiday - The property was very well connected being just a few minutes walk from the metro, also major attractions such as the Acropolis and had plenty of grocery stores/ restraunts near by. This made life so easy for us. The hose was particularly great! He answered any questions we had promptly and solved any issues with our trip very quickly. he was also very friendly with some welcome gifts and suggestions for things to do which was very helpful - I couldn’t fault them. They also allowed our lives to be easier on our final day with luggage storage before our trip to the airport. everything was very clean and all appliances/ amenities worked well. there was a little noise from construction work nearby and the elections but that was nothing to do with the property itself.
• Tsvetelina (10/5): Exceptional - Everything! Very kind host, so comfy flat. Enjoyed it!
• Frank (10/5): A really great apartment.!! - The apartment is big, with 2 big bedrooms ideal for big families and it has everything. Very clean in every detail. Akis welcome us and gave us a lot of information about the apartment, the city and the nearby landmarks. He was very friendly and very professional. We were a little afraid about Covid when we arrived in Athens but we felt comfortable from the first minutes in the apartment. We surly had a great time in this apartment is we suggest to everyone. Great Job Blue Ark!!
• Joe (10/5): Ideal for work or pleasure -
• Athina (10/5): Exceptional -
