Guest Reviews

• Cees (6/5): The positives outlive the negatives - we had a wonderful experience visiting Athens. - It is self catering, which is not a problem - shops close-by. The position of the place is ideal to visiting the old town and very close to all the places Athens is known for. The matrasses in the beds - both bedrooms - are totally inferior. The springs of the mattras are a constant pain to the body. Really, pay attention to this. The bathroom is a challenge on its own. All four of us prefer a shower over a bath but there is no facility to take a shower apart from a handheld shower rose, balancing in a tub. A single bathroom for 4 people also is not ideal.
• Mary (10/5): -
• aminata (9/5): Tres bon rapport qualité prix. Spacieux et propre - Bien placé tres spacieux!! literie moyenne
• Ernest (7/5): Neutral - The beds were soft and lumpy. The clothes washing machine was difficult to use and did not dry. The bath tub was small and there was no overhead shower. The other rooms were pleasant. The location was great.
• Vivien (9/5): -
• Ema (10/5): -
• Bruce (8/5): - Fantastic location, 10 mins from the Acropolis and lots of bars and restaurants. Apartment was a very good size for two and general communication with the owner was good. It was clean and well equipped and an excellent base of operation. No shower, just a shower head so you had to stand in bath and hold. Shouldn't be advertising a shower. Apartment also has dated decor, needs to be made more Greek. Sent the owner a thank you as we left, never got a response which was poor.
• Massimo (10/5): - La posizione e la pulizia Niente
• Pierre (9/5): Top pour visiter en famille - Super bien placé mais literie à revoir
• julieta (9/5): -
• Riccardo (9/5): -
• Petr (10/5): - Velmi nekvalitní matrace v jednom z pokojů.
• Amaya (10/5): -
• Louise (10/5): -
• Jose luis (10/5): Situación inmejorable y mucha limpieza. - La situación es inmejorable, tienes debajo los buses turísticos que dan vueltas a la ciudad y desde ese mismo punto te recogen los autobuses para hacer tour en Delfos, Olimpia y meteora. La limpieza es exquisita, estás a 5 minutos de la entrada de la acrópolis y Partenón, a 5 minutos de sintagma, a 10 minutos omonia, todo a pie, un verdadero lujo la verdad.
• Henriette (9/5): - Rigtig fin lejlighed. Beliggenheden er perfekt
• Anabel (9/5): Lovely apartment in a good location.1 - Location and everything in the apartment is superb especially when there is a washing machine available for you. Everything you need is complete. Sometimes hot water is inconsistent. We had to keep checking at the hot water switch panel.
• Venera (9/5): Perfect place for families of four. - The location is excellent. The place is quiet, artistic and spacious. The parking might be a problem. However in the hotel next to the apartment the receptionist was kind enough to show us where are the nearby streets where you can park your car for free. The only other thing that bothered us was that the mattress of the large bed is quite uncomfortable with springs digging in your ribs…
• Sarafidis (10/5): -
• Zabi (8/5): It was good and and clean - The location was very close to historical sites I liked every thing in the property except the door of wash room
• Athanasia (9/5): -
• Lilly (10/5): Loved the apartment and the owner was very responsive - The balconies and location were amazing! Old plumbing but not bad
• Cassandra (8/5): - Goede lokatie, veel ruimte
• jjlob1 (9/5): Bel appartement proche de l'Acropole - Excellente situation très proche de l'Acropole Contacts très faciles avec le propriétaire qui répond très rapidement aux questions Rien à dire
• Lara (9/5): - The location was perfect! The apartment was in perfect condition, the vibes were great, and the host left snacks and water for us. One of the beds was a bit uncomfy and it was hard for our tallest people to take a shower since you had to hold the shower head.
• Cole (8/5): Overall good - Great location. We had trouble with a sewage smell and as we were ther over the weekend not much our host could do but not great
• Andrew (10/5): This unit is great for a short or long stay, close to restaurants, public transport, tourist sites. - the location of this unit was brilliant, very close to restaurants, shops, public transport, ruins, just lovely. We could walk everywhere, and very easy to get in. Clean/lovely. Every morning had breakfast on the front balcony, just taking in the views. the main bed is a bit uncomfortable, maybe needs a new mattress. Nothing else was wrong with this place.
• Pilar (10/5): -
• avihayhaim (9/5): - The apartment is clean and well designed & kept. It is in a great location. Short walk from the center and main attractions. Arriving by car is a major challenge. The traffic is really bad and parking in the area is extremely hard to find and very expensive.
• Silvana AMENGUAL (10/5): - Muy cómodo, amplio y cerca de todo lo importante.
• Pernilla (8/5): -
• Bojidar (7/5): - Amazing location. Street is nice and quiet despite being so central. Bathroom is very underwhelming. Would recommend investing in at least a hook for the shower head so one can actually take a shower without holding the water hose…..
• Diana (10/5): Excellent location - nice space - good value - Beds are very firm.
• Elizabeth (9/5): - Lovely comfortable apartment in a brilliant location. Would recommend to anyone coming to Athens for a stopover on way to islands
• merav (5/5): -
• Elisabetta (8/5): -
• Ronald (9/5): -
• Rachel (9/5): A very helpful host with a clean, spacious and superbly located apartment. - Location is fantastic. The apartment is very spacious and clean. It has good facilities and basics provided to get us started which was nice. The host was very helpful and responsive offering advice on the city and arranging a great taxi transfer for us. The beds were a little hard for our liking but perfectly fine for a couple of nights.
• Irena (7/5): - This part of Athens is beautiful! I wish we had stayed here our first night instead of our last. It was perfectly located at the base of the Acropolis but away from crowds or foot traffic. The apartment is quiet with a balcony that you can step out to for a lovely view of the street and the Acroplis in the distance. We walked from the metro to the apartment in less than 10 minutes. Easy walk with luggage. The mattress was the hardest thing I ever slept on aside from the floor and I like hard mattresses. I'm not even sure that was a mattress. Please put a topper on it because it was unbearable. Thankfully it was just one night.
• ilaria (9/5): Ai piedi della Plaka - Bell’appartamento ai piedi della Plaka Molto comodo Buona l’organizzazione del soggiorno Nulla
• Shelley (4/5): Terrible beds, parking not ideal, but great location. - The location to attractions was excellent. The beds are horrible. We did not sleep a wink. The full size bed seems to be a box spring because the springs are all you feel laying on it. It was truly the worst bed I’ve ever slept on. Parking was difficult. We had to park at the metro station about a 15 minute walk from the apartment because we had an early flight. Our host did not tell us local parking was not 24 hours. Apartment was dated
• Mark (10/5): An amazing place to stay in a perfect location! - This is a fabulous property - if you are thinking of booking and it's available, do it! The property itself is well appointed. The lounge area is large and comfortable with a small balcony looking out onto a relatively quite street. Kitchen has everything you need, bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The whole place is clean and very secure (the apartment front door has the most secure locking system I've come across!) Getting keys is easy via a lockbox. Location is perfect! The property is just a minute or so walk from shops, bars, restaurants etc in the Plaka district, but has very little noise from it. Plaka is a historic part of Athens and is a very cool place to be! The Acropolis is around 10 minutes walk away, and it's very easy to get to Metro stations if you wish to go further away Honestly, this is one of the best properties I've stayed in, it's a bargain for the price and I will definitely re-book whenever I return to Athens Everything about this place is great, there's nothing to dislike!
• Kristopher (8/5): Great stay! - Apartment location, spaciousness, amenities, small touches. Bed was a little hard…
• Jennifer (10/5): Wonderful all around! Responsive host, beautiful apartment in a perfect location: steps from the Plaka with views of Had - Great location, very spacious and modern
• Jacquie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Moayad (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dianne (7/5): Ideal location for a short stay - Location was excellent Clean and tidy Plenty of hot water Beds were very uncomfortable Very little balcony space Apartment decor and facilities somewhat dated
• Sinead (9/5): Superb -
• Taylor (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lai (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hayley (10/5): Perfect apartment for a family stay in Athens. - The apartment is super spacious and the location is excellent. A really perfect little home away from home. The apartment is warm and comfy. The view is so amazing and you can walk to everything from the location. Host was super responsive and check in was easy as.
• Milan (10/5): Exceptional -
• George-eduard (10/5): Amazing - 10/10 location, facilities, everything
• Dennis (10/5): Stay was so nice, hope to get back there again. - Great location Bed could be more comfortable.
• Yerisell (1/5): Terrible Host and No Hot Water - The location was good but the overall experience was terrible. To began, It was very difficult to communicate with the host. She wouldn't answer the phone or emails. After multiple desperate calls and text messages....she would reply by saying....can't answer the phone....I'm in tje train....text me....That was nerve wrecking. Also..there was no hot water... she asked us to open the electrical box and turn on the brakers before taking a bath. This was very uncomfortable for us...as the guest shouldn't have to do this!.....We were not able to take a bath because the water was very could!. Another thing was the mattress in the bigger room was very uncomfortable with a lump in the meddle of it. The place was run down. Host not responsive. No hot water....mattress very uncomfortable...place run down.
• Keen (10/5): Exceptional - The best location to explore Plaka and acropolis. Cute character. Super clean. Bathroom was quant..
• Isidora (7/5): Nice and well located, not great. - The location is great. The apartment is quiet. The first two nights there wasn’t hot water. When contacting the administrator about it, they were unhelpful. Also, there were many lights that didn’t work (no lightbulbs in the lamps) and the mattresses were hard.
• Tony (9/5): An excellent stay which suited all our needs. - The location was within walking distances to the majority of the main attractions in Athens. If you want to be in the heart of the Athens restaurant/shopping area, this is where you need to be....
• Antoinette (10/5): Thank you for making my holiday experience comfortable & easy - Property was clean , comfortable and walking location to restaurants bars and cafes .
• Ellena (7/5): Good -
• Alistair (10/5): A perfect place in a perfect location in Athens - The apartment was perfect for us and is beautifully decorated. The beds were comfortable, there is air conditioning, wifi, a smart tv and a balcony. The location was great, close to everywhere we wanted to go as well as lots of great restaurants and shops.
• Anna (9/5): Bang on center of Plaka with quiet corner to relax - Great location and great quirky apartment. The beds were very comfy!
• Noreau (6/5): Great location - Location is fantastic, easy check in-out Shower head was broken. Could use more toilet paper, only one roll was available.
• Elizabeth (9/5): Lovely apartment, had a wonderful stay! - The location is exceptional. Right in the heart of ancient Plaka, honestly doesn't get better. The apartment was charming, with lovely antique accents, very appropriate to the area. Just where one would want to be when visiting ancient Greek sites and museums. Loads of restaurants and shops around. Stone's through from the Acropolis among others. Just terrific! I would add, though this probably goes without saying, that you should not expect to find street parking here. It's a disaster. But there are parking facilities in the area, which helps.
• Alex (4/5): Regretted making the reservation - Great location. Large apartment. A/C in every room. The beds were extremely uncomfortable, with one of the single beds literally broken. Whenever we turned on water in the bath to shower, we'd hear bubbling noises from the floor drain and then water would come out. The bathtub was unusually narrow and the sink was hard to access. To turn on the hot water we had to open the apartment's electrical switchboard - there was no external switch. We considered moving to another place but since it was only 2 nights we didn't.
• Yerbury (9/5): Great short stay, close to all amenities! - The location of this property is amazing. So close to all the shops and sites. Literally at your doorstep! The property is comfortable and the staff were very helpful. The hand held shower is always a nuisance. But otherwise nothing!
• Ivan (9/5): Superb -
• Sabina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vanja (10/5): The perfect stay! - Beautiful flat with an amazing flair & perfect location
• Erin (8/5): Large air-conditioned apartment in fabulous location - Fabulous location, great apartment layout, wonderful AC, communicative hosts. Overall a great place to stay in central Athens. The larger bed was not particularly comfortable (quite hard) and I noticed that all the bed pillows were very big and tall. We instead put the pillowcases on the decorative pillows because the normal pillows were uncomfortably large. Not a huge deal, but if we were staying multiple nights, I think the bed and pillows may have been more frustrating.
• Beatrice (9/5): Fantastic location right in the heart of Plaka that met all of our basic needs. - Easy access to everything as this was in the heart of Plaka. Easy lockbox access- we could come in and go as we wanted. The flat and building in itself is a little bit old and rundown. That being said, they tried to make it as modern as possible. It met all of our expectations- pictures are very accurate. The convenience of the location could not be beat. Right in the heart of Plaka.
• Martin (7/5): Good -
• Jacob (10/5): Exceptional - Nice flat, close to all antiquities and touristic Spots! We are a Family of 5 and had enough Space and a good base to Explorer Athens by foot. Athens is very crowded because of us Tourist😀
• Oketag (9/5): Superb - Very suitable apartment for a family of 4-5 people. It is a good location, close to the Acropolis and the Plaka neighborhood. You can park in paid parking lots for around 25 Euros/day. The owner was ready to respond on time. When we visit Athens again, I would return to the Athenian Gate to Plaka. The toilet was clean but it needs a refresh and some accessories.
• Hector (10/5): The owner was working in the internet issue. He did the best to sort out. The problem - The owner very friendly and very kind. The location and the cleaning of the property were excellent. Internet was working very slow
