Guest Reviews

• Konstantinos (4/5): - only view of the acropolis A sad experience of staying in this apartment! The washing machine does not work. The drain in the bathtub is clogged. The closet is broken and dirty inside and out. Not a single hanger! Terrible dirt everywhere! The air conditioner is dirty. The floors are dirty and have hair. The dishes are dirty. The refrigerator is dirty. Dust is everywhere. Not enough dishes! There are no normal frying pans! Everything is in terrible condition! If there is wind, then all the windows and the door are blown through, you will live like on a powder keg! The only 2 pluses are the view from the window and the location! I was even ashamed to bring guests to such a dirty place, and you rent it out. Would I come back here again - NO!
• Felipe (7/5): Bad cleaning, great view - Location is good, close to tram stop where you can go everywhere, from the apartment to the acrópolis it takes about 30 min. The best of the apartment is the view by far, that was the reason why we booked this one. You have all the kitchenware and it is confy for a couple. It wasn't clean at all.. the bathroom wasn't clean at all, there was poop on the toilet, hair and toothpaste even on the washbasin. In the living room there was a lot of hair on the floor, they didn't clean the apartment for sure, of course nobody used a vacuum in that apartment. The view was great but I wouldn't come back to thi apartment. I prefer a clean place to stay.
• Jovana (5/5): - Location Not clean
• Nick (1/5): Horrible would not recommend. - Nothing terrible hosts who will harras you Terrible upon checkout at 10:56 the hosts had already let me know the cleaners had arrived so I left the AC on at the convenience. 30 minutes later the hosts messaged me with an attitude very aggressively about me leaving the AC on. I understand where he is coming from but does not justify him coming at me so unprofessionally. I attacked photos of our conversation down below. He kept messaging me for about 3 hours straight after I checked out harrasing me saying he would make sure no one in Greece would rent to me and acting like a child. He called me a liar for not checking out on time at 11:00 yet you can clearly see in the screenshots i attached I let him know I was checked out at 10:56. Have already contacted booking to report him. Completely unacceptable from someone on booking to be threatening their guests.
• Branislav (10/5): - Pogled sa 11. Sprata na Akropolj.
• Leonardo (9/5): The place is not new. It is exactly as it is in the photos. For the price it is worth it. - ok I don't like taking a shower with a plastic curtain. The shower head was broken.
• Olya (10/5): Exceptional - A very cute apartment, spacious and comfortable. It has a good AC, WiFi, and the most spectacular view from the window! The building is in a good location and has an elevator. And the host was very accommodating. Thank you very much! I definitely recommend this place!
• Andreu (7/5): Luxury views for affordable money - The view is simply amazing and the apartment is well located and connected. Value for money is excellent and the host was very helpful. The equipment, specially the kitchen appliances, is old and a bit dirty and rusty. Did not feel to cook there.
• Villarmero (7/5): Good -
• Chester (1/5): many issues staying here. - view was nice but very dangerous. wifi is extremely slow. that it takes 3-4 hours to download an app. very loud at night. could not sleep at all
• Renato (7/5): Very nice apartment but don’t expect hot water. We waited and tried, but at the end we warm up with the boiler. - The location and decoration The bathroom is not working properly. The staff took a lot of time to reply.
• Nicool95 (9/5): Amazing view to Acropolis - Amazing view! That what is worth it about. Elevator in the bulding (is 11floor-really old elevator so be careful). Its the most highest building around (easier to find if you give to google INTERCONTINENTAL ATHENAEUM - and if you look right up the highest building is Sfiggos 8 adress). Parking is on the street, but if you go around building you find something. Petfriendly (my dog was welcome) Old furnitures and things (toilet seat and shower head could be really change - it didnt cost so much money and it just looked really terrible)
• Vasiliki (5/5): Passable - Excellent location. The view to the city and Acropolis is amazing. The owner, though he has helpful in case i had questions about the apartment, he was also rude when handing over the keys. I texted him as we agreed so he can come over to give me the keys but he missed the message, which is okay, but when I called him his tone was more that he expected me to call when we never agreed that. And when he handed over the keys he was like "hey, here are the keys" and just left. Re. the apartment, the water running in the shower was more brown in the beginning for a few seconds before it goes to normal, so I didn't take a shower. And the toilet flush didn't work after the first time, I refilled it with water. And the toilet seat was broken. And the window shades didn't all work.. Last, not sure how well they cleaned, I found hair in the bath sink and on the bed sheets.
• Rostyslav (4/5): The apartment needs good renovation - The only thing that is good about this apartment is the nice view and also the location. But I'm not sure that it makes up for the shortcomings. Mattress is very uncomfortable. Dirty bed linen and towels, toilet leaks after every flush, also toilet lid is broken. Old and broken furniture and other equipment in the apartment. Water heater was turned off so that I had to take a shover with cold water.
• 2 (10/5): Amazing views for your stay in Athens - We loved the view from the apartment window, right out on the Acropolis!! The apartment was very easy to find and there were some lovely restaurants close by. The tram is very near so if you don't have your own transport, you can easily get around. The host was very easy to contact and very responsive to our requests.
• Eli (2/5): Very poor - Air condition wasnt working. I got cold.
• Melina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maisie-amber (3/5): Poor - Good location, could be a really nice property if maintained properly! View of acropolis. Hair dryer didn't work. Shutter didn't work and no curtains. Iron but no ironing board?? Had to wash some of the mugs before being able to use them as weren't cleaned properly! Says pets are free and no extra charge, then tried to get us to pay €20 for dog - they were super rude when I challenged this! There was no hot water and they left no instructions how to turn it on, I had to contact them to see if this was normal and they told me how to turn it on!
• Misao (2/5): Don’t recommend if you want a nice, comfortable place to stay. - View from the window We did not get any instructions about how to collect the key, as a result we had to wait at the entrance for over 30 min. Also there were no instructions about how to turn on the hot water system. Very difficult to take a shower due to the floor of bathtub being uneven and extremely cramped. Shower curtain was mouldy, toilet seat was not attached to the toilet bowl and cracked, smell of sewage in the bathroom. Air condition was leaking water onto the floor. Place was old and slightly deteriorated, not kept well at all. Overall it felt a bit grubby.
• Eric (9/5): Superb -
• Chris (4/5): Nice view, dirty apartment - The view is great and the wifi speed is good, and that’s about it. Otherwise the it’s far worse than other apartments I’ve stayed in Athens that cost less. How it’s got 8/10, I don’t know. The apartment is shabby and dirty and should’ve been renovated years ago. All the fixtures and fittings were covered in dust and grime. The TV didn’t work. There was no top sheet on the bed, only a old dirty synthetic blanket to go directly on your skin. The pillows were big and hard and impossible to sleep on. The bed frame was covered in dust. The toilet seat was cracked and rotten. The shower is just a tiny bath with a hose. There was black mould around kitchen sink. The window blinds rattled noisily all night from the wind, and sometimes needed an umbrella to pull them down from the outside. The apartment is covered in thick rugs which have probably never been cleaned. The owner failed to address any issue, and refused to take any of my calls. Bizarre.
• Monika (4/5): Disappointing - It is indeed the great view at Acropolis. Communication with the host over the phone messaging was prompt. There was fridge and gas cooker at the studio. The apartment reeked of cigarette smoke. TV didn't work. Shower is very small and toilet leaks. The sofa is tiny and high stools to sit on very uncomfortable. There were no instructions about hot water. The duvet was not clean. The carpets felt dirty and sticky to walk on. The external window shutters would rattle loudly all night at the lightest wind. Noise of the roof vents of the hotels opposite the studio and all traffic noises carried loudly to 11th floor.
• Vekris (10/5): Had a great peaceful stay - Loved the location and view, quiet and relaxing space A bigger shower would have been nice, but not a big deal
• Viktoria (9/5): Great Location and View, Needs a Bit of Upkeep - The apartment is on the 11th floor and has an amazing view to the Acropolis. There was a working elevator and in one of the two cabins there's Greek music playing :-) The place is spacious enough, the bed is big and comfortable, the kitchen space is also good. 20-25 minute walk from the Acropolis, a lot of nearby restaurants, shops, and whatever you need. The kitchen needs an urgent deep cleaning, especially the cooking area. The shower tub is very small, but enough for a quick shower; there's no shower hanger for the shower head. The pillows were big and hard, not comfortable at all, so we improvised and used some blankets to make softer pillows. The left panel of the wardrobe fell off when I opened it. Overall, a mix of comfort and details that need maintainance and upgrading.
• Avelinegg (9/5): It was the best location for my business purposes and with best view to acropolis! - I liked the decoration style, the view and there is a fireplace and a guitar for those who love music 🎸 Pillows were not comfortable! I had to use the one from couch!
• Rayan (8/5): Great value for money and exceptional hospitality. - -The location was perfect: the tramway is just outside the property, Neos Kosmos metro station is a 7 minutes walk away so it's really easy to reach the center. Vey safe with plenty of parking spots. -The apartment was functional with everything you need and the view over the Acropolis was magnificent. -Special thanks to the host Fouad for his kindness and disponibility. He immediately helped if there was any problem with the room. I felt at home.
• Raluca (8/5): Great option for city break - The view is amazing and the owner was very friendly. The bathroom needs some remodeling and I didn’t like the fact that the blanket you cover with didn’t have linen.
• Petro (9/5): Superb - Great location, amazing view, cozy place, and pleasant owner. I think it was all good, I got what I expected.
• Siim (9/5): Superb -
• Iryna (9/5): Fully equipped studio with great view and good location - The studio has everything you need to stay for a few days. I really liked that there was a fridge with a freezer, as well as an electric stove and oven. The neighborhood is good, looks safe - the Intercontinental Hotel is very close. The owner was flexible about check-out time (I needed to leave early in the morning). And the view from the window, of course, is just spectacular. Small shower
• John (8/5): Very good - The owner allowed me for early check-in, and upgrade to a better view studio. Owner is friendly. The studio is clean but simple. 100-200 m is the tram T6, 750m is the metro. Close to the Acropolis and Syntagma which is the traffic hub, and major attractions of Athens. The weather is nice, about 22 C, I don't close the balcony door and windows at night, no AC required in early October. There is a street market on Saturday day time, I get cheap and fresh vegetables and fruits. Close to supermarket. Lots of cafe nearby, about 5-10 minutes walk. The neighborhood is quiet at night, no party and noise around. The studio is with a stunning view of Acropolis . Facility is simple and clean but outdated.
• Ilias (9/5): Perfect stay overall. - Great view, cozy and clean apartment, not loudy and close to public transportation, also met the owner who appeared to be a very friendly character. The toilet seat should be changed with a new one in my opinion and the bath tub could be more comfortable.
• Hany (9/5): Superb - The location was perfect. It was very close to tram 6. The bed was comfortable. The apartment had all the facilities we needed. We could see the filopapou hill and the acropolis from the apartment.
• Gabriela (8/5): Very good -
• Davide (10/5): highly recommended - Wonderful apartment. very cozy and with a beautiful view over the acropolis
• Keld (9/5): Superb - Very nice and big apartment with a very good view to Akropolis. The bathroom and shower is not the biggest
• Nemanja (9/5): Superb - Amazing location (20ish minutes by foot from center and super easy to drive out to beaches) Safe neighborhood, lots of parking spaces. Fast WiFi as well. The 11th floor gets loud with winds, but can't really blame it on the apartment.
