Guest Reviews

• Rachel (9/5): Great spot at a very reasonable price - Perfect location surrounded by restaurants and supermarkets, a few minutes from the metro and bus and short walk to the Acropolis. The balcony is huge and wraps around the corner of the building so shady and sunny, whichever you prefer. The apartment is light and breezy with big windows (with rolling shutters/blinds and fly screens). Check-in was easy and the owner was very responsive to messages. The water pressure isn't great and some of the furniture is a bit tired but nothing was broken or unusable. The buses on the street below can be a bit noisy at night with the windows open.

• Saana (10/5): Huoneisto loistavalla sijainnilla suuren kattoterassin kera. - Majoituspaikkaan on helppo saapua metrolla. Tärkeät nähtävyydet ovat kävelymatkan päässä. Sijainti siis loistava! Huoneisto on oikein siisti. Suuri kattoterassi on hieno. -
• Kompas Poland Sp. z o.o. (10/5): Jest bardzo zadowolona z pobytu i polecam apartament. - Lokalizacja apartamentu jest wyśmienita wszystkie atrakcje są osiągalne na piechotę. Duży taras z fajnym widokiem. Duża sypialnia i pokój dzienny z kuchnią. Byliśmy w 3 osoby i uważam że idealny dla naszej rodziny.

• Domenico (8/5): - L'appartamento è in una buona posizione per visitare la città, in un quartiere tranquillo e ben servito, dove si possono trovare numerosi locali per mangiare. Dalla terazza si gode di una bella vista sull'acropoli. L'appartamento che credo sia stato di recente ristrutturato è ben attrezzato. La pulizia buona. Nell''ppartamento faceva molto freddo ed è stato impossibile riscaldarlo con il condizionatore acceso solo al nostro arrivo.
• EdwigeP (8/5): L'appartement est super, idéalement situé, avec une superbe terrasse mais le matelas n'est pas bon. - Emplacement idéal dans Athènes. Le matelas était très inconfortable. Nous avons eu mal au dos tout au long de notre séjour à cause du matelas. Il faut absolument le changer.
• Paul (10/5): Would recommend this accommodation to anyone - Garden of Eden is a calm, beautifully judged base in the heart of Koukaki, offering a sense of space, light, and quiet that feels immediately grounding after the energy of Athens. The apartment itself is modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed, with a soft, neutral palette and simple furnishings that make it feel both comfortable and uncluttered. Natural light pours in through large doors and windows, opening onto balconies that overlook classic Athenian streets. Everything feels purposeful and well maintained, from the compact kitchen setup to the living space designed for rest rather than distraction. Outside, Koukaki reveals itself as one of Athens’ most liveable neighbourhoods. Tree lined streets, orange trees heavy with fruit, stone facades, and low rise buildings give the area a village like rhythm while remaining firmly central. Daytime walks are relaxed and local, while evenings bring a gentle buzz without noise or crowds. The streets feel authentic and residential, with cafés, bakeries, and small shops woven naturally into daily life. The location is ideal for exploring on foot, with the Acropolis area close enough to feel present but never overwhelming. Morning light, quiet afternoons, and warm evening skies all contribute to a sense of balance that is increasingly rare in city stays. Garden of Eden lives up to its name. It is not showy or overstated, but calm, practical, and genuinely welcoming. A place that allows Athens to be experienced slowly, comfortably, and on your own terms. I would recommend this apartment to anyone who wants to relax after visiting the sights of Athens or working in the city. The view from the balcony of the Acropolis all lit up at night was truly magical. Everything was perfect
• Ruth (10/5): Loved out stay. Easy to access, good facilities, good communication. - Great location, host was easy to get a hold of, all the facilities were there. It was quiet, the bed was comfortable and the dark curtains were great.
• Cristian (10/5): -
• FangFang (8/5): - Location is superb! The terrace is very spacious, and the view is absolutely outstanding. 1. The kitchen lacked basic items such as paper towels and cleaning cloths. 2. The bathroom door is damaged and cannot be closed properly, causing privacy issues. 3. The washing machine detergent drawer was moldy and insufficiently cleaned. 4. There were no hooks or hangers near the entrance or in the bathroom, which is inconvenient in winter.
• MICHAEL (8/5): Prachtig appartement in het hart van Koukaki. - Appartement ligt op een toplocatie, vanaf het balkon kijk je op de Acropolis. Koukaki is een ontzettend leuke wijk met vele koffietentjes en restaurantjes. Contact met de host was prima, reageerde meteen op vragen die we soms hadden. Appartement beschikte over alles wat we nodig hadden zoals een extra deken en de airco kon de kamers goed verwarmen (wij waren er in december). Er was geen lawaai van buiten of van buren. Het was een schoon appartement en we kregen op verzoek extra schone handdoeken. De badkamerdeur klemde omdat hij was uitgezet door vocht en daardoor niet goed dicht kon. De host bood aan om het meteen te repareren maar wij gaven aan dat dit ook na ons verblijf kon. De deurklink van de badkamer was los waardoor we hem soms in onze handen hadden.
• S. (10/5): A Perfect central location for exploring Athens on foot - a very quiet last floor appartment with a view of Parthenon - This is a perfect location for exploring Athens. It is a 5 min walk from Plaka, a 15 min walk from Monastiraki and Syntagma. The closest metro and tram are less than 5 min walk. We walked everywhere. The owners are marvelous - always prompt to respond via email and to help. They allowed a very late check out for us given our late flight. The appartment is very clean, calm and quiet (really surprising given its location). It is located on the last floor and one can see the Parthenon from its terrace. The neighbourhood has a lot of supermarkets, restaurants and bars.
• Ishfaaq Peerally (9/5): - The location was superb, close to the Acropolis, which one could see from the room and terrace. The availability of different kitchen appliances to prepare meal made it feel like I'm a citizen of Athens. For the price, it was an awesome and would love to book there again in the future. But I think, the place could be cleaned more thoroughly and also instructions on how to use the boiler.
• Mikhail (8/5): Def Worth for the money paid - Location was really good. Lots of cafes and stores around Area felt really safe. Price was really good Apartment and bed could have been cleaner. We had to rewash one of hand towels from start, but washing machine is present in the apartment. Drying rack was broken and some furniture look a bit worn (working still fine)
• YUAN TING (9/5): Smooth communication and very attentive host! Would stay again. - Location, great view to the Acropolis, all the things needed for an apartment is there. Bathroom drains slowly, but it’s not a deal breaker.
• Dean (9/5): -
• Ilias (7/5): -
• Mathilde (8/5): - Belle vue, literie confortable, emplacement dans un quartier très sympathique et conseils et réactivité de l’hôte très appréciables Équipements du balcon vétustes (chaises avec accoudoirs cassés, étendoir inutilisable,…) et pommeau de douche qui fuit avec peu de pression
• Roy (10/5): Great location on a quiet place - Location is Amazing and place is quiet Add pictures to the instructions on how to turn on the water heater as it could be confusing
• Trudy (9/5): -
• Bets (9/5): Trevligt boende i lungt område, prisvärt. - Fin och fräsch lägenhet i ett trevligt och lugnt område. Bekväm säng, bra AC och Wifi, stor balkong med skymd Akropolis vy. Mycket tillgänglig värd, som var trevlig och frågade om vår vistelse flera gånger. Nära kollektivtrafik Sygrou-fix tunnelbana station och bussförbindelser, flera bra restauranger, café och mataffär i gångavstånd. Vi skulle absolut kunna bo där igen. Stort tack. Att man behövde sätta på knappen för varm vattnet 30-40 min innan man skulle duscha. Vi glömde varje gång. Vi saknade en sko och hatthylla/klädhängare för våra ytterkläder. Lägenhets dörren var lite krånglig att öppna första gången men man när sig snabbt hur den funkar.
• Axeline (10/5): Un appartement parfait pour s’immerger dans la vie d’Athenes avec une grande terrasse avec vue sur l’Acropole ! - La grande terrasse avec vue sur l’acropole, la propreté de l’appartement, l’emplacement dans un quartier agréable et les équipements Rien !
• Griselda (10/5): Cerca de todo en Atenas - Su comodidad y luminosidad . Excelente ubicación. Vecindad tranquila y segura. El anfitrión amable y atento Nada
• Mario (10/5): Fabulous time in Athens! - The apartment is amazing, it has everything you need. Super comfortable and very well equipped. Fabulous view of the Acropolis from the terrace, so you can sit back and relax, have a glass of wine while fantasizing about ancient times! The staff was just amazing, super helpful and extremely kind. I totally recommend staying here!
• Helena (9/5): - La forma de comunicación del anfitrión: mensajes justo a tiempo, muy completos y claros; sin necesidad de un intercambio masivo de comunicaciones. Un diez!!! El inmobiliario de la terraza está un poco viejo, pero se debe tener en cuenta que las fotos de la terraza pertenecen ambas a la misma vivienda, por lo que las vistas son espectaculares!
• Athina (8/5): -
• victor (10/5): Genial estancia en Atenas - Apartamento limpio, con todo lo necesario para pasar unos días en Atenas. Ubicación inmejorable en un barrio tranquilo y lleno de cafés y restaurantes. El propietario ha sido muy amable y ha estado pendiente de nuestras necesidades. Para repetir y recomendar
• Sabina (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment has a great terrace with a view on Parthenon and Filopapou. Everything was perfect and as described. It is located near the Acropolis museum and Plaka, few minutes walk away. The owner reacted immediately for a minor technical issue and it was repaired the same day. Perfect!!!
• Hernandez (10/5): The apartment is very nice, it has everything you need (from plates to laundry machine), clean and quiet. It’s close to - It’s clean and near to the center area.
• Patricia (9/5): Great stay in a well located apartment - Great location, in a mainly residential area, with good local shops, restaurants, cafes etc plus easy access to tourist locations and to the Metro A mixed area in that there are some poorly maintained buildings in amongst middle & fairly up-market shops & eateries Helpful owner who provided lots of information about where to eat, visit etc Nice balcony to eat or relax on Comfy bed. Excellent air conditioning Inevitably the view was mainly of other apartments & rooftops
• Koba (10/5): The apartment was comfortable, clean, big with huge balcony and perfect to stay - property was clean, staff was very kind, location was the best.
• Iryna (9/5): I really enjoyed my stay here! The location was great — close to everything I needed. One of the highlights was the spac - Huge balcony for breakfast and get tanned in the morning Probably sofa could be renewed
• Nectaria (1/5): Disgusting!! - It was cold. It was dirty. The WIFI not existent and therefore no TV. Furniture worn out and couch disgusting. The balcony was dirty actually piece of glass outside not very safe. Drawer was broken and bathroom door has mould growing from the bottom. This apartment is nothing like the pictures that are uploaded and shown. And when we complained they sent someone to clean the filters of the air con so we could have heat (this should have been checked prior to our arrival) and as for WiFi little was done to rectify the issue other than insult me by informing me it is a SmartTV….need WiFi to work it which was pretty crap for the entire 14 days. This apartment is purely run down and neglected!!
• Mihai (9/5): A perfect place to stay in Athens! - Great location, very responsive host, comfortable, washing machine, dishwasher, drying rack, iron, all was there. Stayed for 11 nights and everything was perfect.Including the view to Acropolis! Nothing really
• Dimitri (8/5): Very good -
• Shlomo (9/5): Superb -
• Stelian (10/5): Home away from home - The apartment is situated very close to Acropole. It is at 5th floor but it has an elevator quite roomy. We arrived quite late at night and due to the lack of light we had some difficulties on finding the keys, but we managed. Also few minor issues were quickly solved by the host. The apartment is big and appropriate to accomodate 3-4 guests. The bed and sofa were quite comforable. The kitchen had all the appliances you needed to cook something, olive oil, vinegar, salt, paper, coffee. Everything you need to feel home. The terrace is huge- on the whole apartment. We enjoyed coffee each morning on the terrace. The bathroom had good size and a shower. You have soap and shampoo. The apartment has a boiler and you have to put into function to have hot water. The Metro station Sigru Fix is very close- you turn right after you get out of the building and when you reach an alley with many green plants and restaurants you turn again right. At the end of the alley you find the metro and tram Station. We took the tram 6 to arrive to the beach. I totally recommend this apartment- well situated, close to many tourists sites and restaurants in the center of Athens. Pilows a little too soft, lack of light before entering to the appartment.
• Tia (10/5): Perfect location with a lovely balcony and view! -
• Janie (3/5): Poor - Location Toilet was not clean when I arrived. There were bunch of hairs and stained.I have to clean it again by myself. The floor and balcony was not that clean as in the pictures. Wifi was not work but host tried to help as soon as they can. My watch and cash were gone during the stay. I left the watch on the table in bedroom and cash was well kept in plastic bag in drawer in the closet. I told the host.. Host told me because I didnt locked the door and the knob on the door was just for decorate. I thought it was already lock and push the door everytime I left. I couldnt figure it out how os this happen. No comment for this things. I feel really disappointed.

You can have breakfest here with nice street view and Acropolis in the background. There are also 2 sunbeds for your relax. The location is perfect! It’s just 10 minutes walk to Acropolis and 15 minutes to town centre. The area is quiet with a few shops and coffee shops nerby. The restaurants here are amazing, serving delicious Greek food. Metro station is just 5 minutes walk and has good connection with the airport. Everything is perfect in this flat
