Guest Reviews
- Ευαγγελία (10/5): - The location was excellent: very quiet, peaceful, and extremely comfortable. It made the stay truly enjoyable. One small suggestion would be to place the TV in the main room instead of upstairs, which would make it more convenient.
- Giusy (10/5): - Posizione e pulizia terrazzo bellissimo,bagno un pochino piccolo ma funzionale tutto perfetto Unico appunto che non ci fosse uno strofinaccio per la cucina ed un tappetino in più per il bagno
- Marta (9/5): Dobra baza wypadowa do zwiedzania Aten - Lokalizacja-wszędzie blisko, można zwiedzić miasto pieszo, bliską odległość również do metra i autobusu
Apartament wygląda dokładnie jak na zdjęciach, jest w nim wszystko czego możesz potrzebować. Dla mnie jako dziewczyny dużym plusem była normalna suszarka do włosów z silnym nawiewem. Łazienka-jest malutka, zlew tak mały, że ciężko się nim umyć ręce żeby nie nachlapać dookoła. Największym problemem jest jednak prysznic. Jest mały, typu walk-in, mimo spadku poziomu podłogi woda się leje na całą łazienkę. To wszystko sprawia, że śliczną łazienką się niszczy- widać odpryski farby.
- Aysun (8/5): good location and budget-friendly - It's a modern, renovated house with a fantastic location. The staff were very helpful; we asked for a heater and extra blankets because we were cold, and they immediately assisted us. The bathroom, located under the stairs, was really tiny. The floor would get wet. The sink was too small even to wash your hands.
- Yulia (10/5): Очень хорошие апартаменты . Удобное местоположение. - Все понравилось. Близко к всему .
- Valeria (5/5): Μέτριο - Πολύ καλή τοποθεσία στο κέντρο της Αθήνας. Το μπαλκόνι του ήταν πολύ ωραίο και η εξυπηρέτηση πολύ καλή. Χρειάζεται σοβαρές αλλαγές όσον αφορά το ταβάνι που ξεφλούδιζε, ο χαλασμένος κάδος στην κουζίνα και αντίστοιχα ο κάδος και πιγκαλ γεμάτα σκουριά στο μπάνιο. Το ντουζ επίσης έτσι όπως είναι χτισμένο κάνεις μπάνιο και γεμίζει παντού νερά που είναι sensory nightmare
- Magdalena (7/5): Dobre miejsce na nocowanie, zwiedzając miasto, mało przebywa się w obiekcie. - Korzystna lokalizacja. Duża przestrzeń, choć mało efektywnie zagospodarowana. Ładny widok. Zapewne latem szerzej można wykorzystać jego atuty - chłód, 2 obszerne tarasy. Maleńka łazienka. Mimo starań nie można było uniknąć mokrej podłogi, chlapała się ściana podczas mycia w mikoumywalce, nie było miejsca, aby schować (= nie zmoczyć) papier toaletowy. Jest klimatyzacja = ogrzewanie, co było bezwzględnie konieczne zimą, ale chłodno przez nieszczelności drzwi i okien, zatem trudno było szybko ogrzać, okna ciągle skroplone, bardzo zimne=mokre. Oznaczało to także, że łazienka była nie do ogrzania = stawała się ciepła po kąpieli. O braku zasłonki piszą goście w komentarzach od kilku lat, ale nic się nie zmieniło.
Przydałaby się w mailu / na kartce w apartamencie informacja o włączaniu ciepłej wody (opisanie bezpiecznika nie jest oczywiste). Do przykrycia (w grudniu) tylko poszewki. Na górze, w jednym łóżku, 1 cienka kołdra, ale do niej nie było poszewki, tylko 2 większe prześcieradła; trudno było uniknąć zsunięcia ich z kołderki, a przez to spanie stawało się mało higieniczne. Uwaga na strome schody.

- Nevzat (7/5): Genel ortalamada olumluyum. - Konum mükemmel, yatak oldukça rahat. Diğer tarafta ev sahibi ile iletişim neredeyse yok ulaşılamıyor. Banyo 1 kişi için bile çok küçük.
- Pawel (8/5): Very good place and in great location. - Everything was good. We didn’t have hot water.
- Antonia (8/5): Excellent location, spacious room, small bathroom that floods. - The location is brilliant as it is walking distance from all the key attractions such as Monastiraki, Syntagma, Acropolis and is by Ermou street where there are many shops and restaurants as well as night life. Did not even have enough time to explore. There are great takeaway and sit in dining options right by the apartment. The room is very spacious for two people and quite modern. Aircon was perfect for the Greek heat. The shower is not enclosed and is not elevated, so the whole bathroom floods every time you shower- this makes it really uncomfortable especially in hot weather and after swimming when you expect a good shower. The floor is always wet. The toilet was also broken when we got there but they did arrange someone to come fix it.
- Joshua (10/5): Great stay. I would defenetly stay again and highly recommend. - Large, balcony is great for sunsets, location is perfect. Not sure if it an Athens wide thing but the hot water circuit breaker thing was a bit confusing. Ended up have one cold shower.
- Franco (10/5): - Muy buena ubicación y muy limpio
- Georgios (9/5): -
- JINGXI (10/5): If we come again to Athens in the future, we’ll book it again. - We love this apartment! If you came to Athens, please book it without hesitation!!! It’s 5mins walking from Syntagma Square bus station. There’re a lot of shops downstairs. But when you go up to the apartment (what’s better there’s an elevator! You don’t have to climb the stairs ), it’s very quiet. We slept safe and sound. We like the rooftop terrace the most. We go up to drink and watch the sunset for several days. If we come again to Athens in the future, we’ll book it again. There’s hair on the bed when we arrive the first day.
- Rosanna (10/5): - La camera è in una posizione perfetta per visitare a piedi tutte le attrazioni principali della città. In 10-15 minuti a piedi si raggiunge l'ingresso dell'acropoli, in 5 minuti sei a Sindagma, in 25 minuti al museo archeologico Nazionale, in 35 minuti sali in cima al monte Licabetto. Non è necessario acquistare i biglietti della metropolitana che invece è molto comoda per raggiungere l'aeroporto partendo da Monanstirachi a 5 minuti dalla casa.
La camera è ampia e pulita, i letti sono comodi, è molto luminosa con una bellissima terrazza. Nel complesso tutto bene. Abbiamo anche cucinato 3 volte i pasti in casa. Il bagno è un po' piccolo e servirebbe una tenda per la doccia.
In camera si potrebbero aggiungere delle tende scure per evitare la luce la mattina.
Per l'uso della cucina manca uno strofinaccio per asciugare le stoviglie e le mani.
- Adam (10/5): - VFM
- Pablo (9/5): - Great location. Renew, with all the needed facilities and a big terrace Please put thicker curtains, sunlight enters a lot very early in the morning
- Evgeniya (10/5): Very cozy apartment - excellent location
- David (5/5): Nice location but very noisy with building site next door. - Great location nice balcony space
Comfortable bed. Really noisy Building site next to the building woke up to drilling early every morning.
Ants nest in the front room as soon as you go in the door on the right hand side. No mop no internal brush to clean internal floors as dirty.
Only one set of towels and bedding for the entire stay should be replaced after a couple of days or have facilities to wash them.
Staying 10 days without this is disappointing.
- Linda (7/5): We appreciate our space and communication with host. - Location. Coffee pot, mini kitchen. Short on supplies to was dishes and TP.
- Jason (8/5): Very good -
- Ricky (8/5): Very good - Firstly the apartment is great. You have two very nice balconies to enjoy. I looked forward to chilling on the balcony, with a drink after a long day walking around the city. You can watch the sunset over Athens, on the top floor balcony. The host has provided all the kitchen utensils you might need to cook a meal, however you have so many excellent restaurant choices around you, so there really is no need to cook.
The location is absolutely fantastic. You are right in the heart of Athens and walking distance from the majority of the main attractions. You have supermarkets, coffee shops, restaurants, bars and a wide range of retail shops on your doorstep. You are walking distance to a train station which connects you to the airport directly.
Checking in and out is a breeze and the host will provide you with all the information you need. As you are in the city it can be very noisy. There were a lot of building works going on everyday of the week including Sundays. Bring some ear plugs with you. Not so bad at night, you do get the occasional bar/city noises you would expect in a location like.this.
Be warned there are mosquitoes. Bring some repellent with you. I think it would be nice of the host to leave some in the room.
The shower screen needs to be improved. Water does tend to spill all over the floor.
Like many places in Greece, you are supposed to leave toilet paper in the bin, instead of flushing it. I wish something could be done about this so you wouldn't have to, but it is what it is. We followed the rules, however more plastic bags should be left.
We had to make our own bed. A minor detail but i would expect the host to have already arranged this. I believe messages from.the host are automated. I had send a message and did not get a response. However the automated messages are very informative and will tell you everything you need to know about your stay, checking in and out etc. Very clear indeed.
- Tereza (3/5): Poor - The property was not prepared for arrival of three people. We tried to call the customer service adn then text them via whasapp and ask for pillow, blanket, sheets and linen. It took them 4+ hours to deliver it. I had to to pick it up from an uber driver two blocks away from the apartment. At 11 pm.
The whole apartment is musty. I would say locality is the only advantage but can be also pretty loud until midnight or so.
- Christine (9/5): Very recommended - Great apartment. Very spacious. Very comfortable bed. Kitchen with the necessary items for basic cooking. There is a supermarket very close by where you can find everything. Apartment very well located (on the corner of Ermou Street), which makes it possible to do everything on foot. The host was great and very helpful. The welcome bottle of wine was very nice. Would certainly stay there again. The bathroom is small and gets completely wet when using the shower. They could think of a curtain.
The apartment has 2 floors. There is only a TV upstairs (the main bed is on the ground floor).
They could leave spare garbage bags for the kitchen and bathroom.
Clothes pegs are available, but there is nowhere to hang towels/clothes.
The apartment does not have a direct view of the Acropolis. But in the corner of the upper floor balcony (where the air conditioning machines are installed, you can see it). One suggestion: install the air conditioning machines on the wall above and leave the balcony free to view the Acropolis.
All these points listed are not complaints, just suggestions that would improve the apartment, which is very good!
- Elizabeth (10/5): Our stay was perfect! - The location was perfect we were in the middle of food and shopping. The balcony was great after a long day of walking. The bed was very very comfortable. We were right off a very busy street and it was sound proof. There were a few noises you can barely hear but it wasn’t enough to wake you up in the middle of the night. Maybe needed more towels for longer stays. The bathroom was a little small and the shower water spilled over into the rest of the restroom but it wasn’t that big of a deal.
- Antri (9/5): Comfortable staying in the center - The Balcony The Bathroom
