Guest Reviews
- Daniela (10/5): Wonderful, newly renovated property, it had everything we needed. Beautiful terrace. -
- Małgorzata (8/5): -
- MA N F RED (4/5): Schöne Wohnung in gute Lage - aber der Service (Chip für Haustüre fehlte) - Lage und Einrichtung waren gut. The set of keys for the apartment was incomplete; the electronic fob for the main entrance was missing. Despite multiple phone calls, a courier did not arrive until the following day, around 3:00 PM. Consequently, half a day of my vacation was ruined. The landlord did not even deem an apology necessary.
- Katrin (9/5): - Sehr schönes, geräumiges Apartement
Ausgezeichnete Lage für Stadterkundungen Bäder sind ein bisschen klein
Es gab kleine Probleme mit dem abfluss der Dusche
- Assia (10/5): Parfait! - Tout a été parfait! Les lits sont très confortables et la situation calme. La cuisine est parfaitement équipée. Nous avons adoré! Je recommande fortement! Rien
- Joanna (9/5): - Doskonała lokalizacja, blisko do najważniejszych zabytków, niedaleka odległość od stacji metra. Spójną okolica. Bardzo dobrze wyposażona kuchnia, łazienka we wszystkie sprzęty potrzebne do komfortowego pobytu.
- Magdalena (9/5): Great location, well equipped - The flat was clean and tidy, kitchen was well equipped with nice appliances which was important for us during Christmas Day. The location is also good, very close to an amazing hill with spectacular views of the acropolis. The sofa bed was made up when we came which was nice. We asked to heat up the property before we arrive which was not done and when we arrived it was 15.6 degrees inside the flat. There was a slight unpleasant smell from both bathroom drains.
- Alethea (10/5): Comfortable stay with plenty of space and next to local attractions. - Great space and accommodations. Kitchen had all dishes, cooking ware, hot water kettle, and nespresso machine. Beds were comfortable and the lanai was great to sit on for coffee in the morning or drinks in the evening. Across the street from paths that lead to local attractions. Super market 5 minutes walk. Nothing. It was perfect.
- Vytautas (10/5): -
- Eeraj Qaisar (9/5): Highly Recommended for Athens Trip - Great location and reasonable price. The place was neat and clean upon arrival and the location is close to everything that you would like to do in Athens - walkable to Plaka, Acropolis, Monastriki, Syntagma Square, side streets and numerous cafes and restaurants that only Athens has (quality and quantity). Great balcony as well. We felt safe even late at night.
Some other reviews mention hills: Well Athens has hills all over and it is a good workout. Take a taxi if you are not in good shape. Overall, a very good value and recommended. One thing that I am seeing with these type of places in Athens is that the bathrooms are getting smaller to the point of being not very usable. But this is not specific to this property and can be managed for a short stay as the pros outweigh this.
- Bernard (10/5): - Situation parfaite pour visiter l acropole appartement propre et spacieux
- giorgio (9/5): Piacevole confortati dalla presenza di amici greci - La posizione eccellente. La colazione essenziale , non ne abbiamo usufruito I cuscini di plastica da togliere assolutamente
- Madars (10/5): PATIKA - Apartamenti bija tīri, plaši un mājīgi. Ideāli piemēroti 5 cilvēku ģimenei. Divas guļamisabas, liela viesistaba un pilnībā aprīkota virtuve. Īpaši novērtējam dzīvoklī esošās 2 vannas istabas. Ļoti patika terase, kurā tika baudītas rīta un vakara stundas. Lai gan laukā bija ļoti karsts laiks, dzīvoklī perfeki darbojās 3 zonu atdzesēšanas sistēma.
Ļoti laba komunikācija ar apartamenta saimniekiem. Jau pirms ierašanā tika saņemta detalizēta informācija (arī video formatā) par dzīvokļa lietošanu. Nekavējoties tika saņemta informācija uz mūsu jautājumiem.
Patika apkārtne, kā arī tas, ka viss nepieciešamais atradās pavisam tuvu. Ar kājām sasniedzams pilsētas centrs ( Monastiraki skvērs un Akropole). Ērts sabiedriskais transports, samērā tuvu arī kafejnīcas un veikali.
Apartamentu apkārtē arī nakts stundās jutāmies ļoti droši.
Atgriežoties Atēnās noteikti izvēlēsimies šos apartamentus.
- Felice (10/5): SUPER CONSIGLIATA ! - PERFETTA IN OGNI DETTAGLIO!!!
- Pedro Jose (5/5): Las cosas se tienen que solucionar más rápido no a las 4 horas - La casa está muy bien muy limpia y camas muy confortables Lo peor fue que después de un viaje muy largo al llegar, el cajetín de las llaves no se abría con la clave que nos habían dado y eran las 19 h durante cuatro horas hasta que pudimos solucionarlo a las 23h nadie nos cogía el teléfono un desastre por parte del alojamiento y por parte de Booking
- Franco (10/5): -
- RAFAEL (9/5): -
- Pablo (10/5): Comfortable and well located apartment - Comfortable and well located apartment. We had to unclog the shower containing a lot of hair.
- Gediz (9/5): Full equipped and very clean - Very clean and you can find whatever you need. Well equipped kitchen and two bathrooms. Close to main touristic places. There aren’t any restaurants or markets close to the flat. If you are out during the whole day, the way for return back is a little bit tiring because of the small hill. It is not too high but you should take into consideration.
- Hanna (7/5): Fine place for hiking lovers - Our overall impression after the stay is quite pleasant. The apartment has great terrace with scenic views. Outside the windows there are many cypress trees and in the morning parrots love to come there and sing. If you plan to come here for a relaxing retreat, you'll get it here. All the equipment and facilities in the apartment are very modern, the beds are super comfortable, and everything was very clean. The apartment is just 15 minutes on foot up the road along the park from Acropolis. The parking in the area around the apartment is free of charge, however you must have extraordinary luck to find the free spot. Unfortunately, when we checked in, we found ourselves in a tough situation. The Wi-Fi in the apartment was a Vodafone router, and in that district the Vodafone connection was the worst possible out of the three options available in Greece:
Vodafone, Cosmote, Wind. The downloading speed wouldn't even let you load the web page, not even talking about audio or video calls. We couldn't use our mobile phone internet either, for the roaming conditions limited us to only using Vodafone radio towers. Apartment owners changed the router on the next day to Cosmote, which worked fine.
Another complication was with the hot water boiler. There is no instruction at the apartment how to use the boiler, so we were surprised in the morning when we tried to shower, but found there wasn't any hot water coming. We reached out to apartment owners, and the way they replied to us shows that they didn't know how to operate the boiler either, because instead of coherent sequence of circuit breaker panel, it felt like "Press this button and wait. No hot water? Then press this button." We'll spare you the nerves, this is the sequence: switch on the bottom right switch on the circuit breaker panel that is in the corridor in front of the guests' bathroom, in ten minutes the hot water will show up, then, in about 40 minutes, the switch will switch off on its own and if you want to keep hot water, you need to repeat the ritual. I hope the owners will write a coherent instruction or explain in the "before arrival" notification the rules of boiler operation so that guests don't get confused.
The house is situated on a steep slope, so every time you want to go somewhere, you need to brave going up and down.
There are no grocery stores in the proximity, and no decent places to have dinner: you have to go quite a bit down or up the hills to find a place, and the steep slopes make you feel the distance traveled far longer than it is.
- Svetlana (9/5): Superb -
- Amanda (10/5): Totally recommend - Everything was incredible. Apartment was beautiful and clean. And the view from the balcony - amazing. Hosts provided all neccessary information when was needed and there was a possibility to leave luggage after check out. Totally recommend.
- Mike (7/5): Good -
- Kreiton (10/5): Exceptional - It was a fantastic experience. The apartment is very comfortable, well decorated and has everything you need for a short stay like ours or longer ones. Though it was very hot that day, inside the apartment we didn’t feel the heat, air-conditioning was working great. Early evening we went for a walk and we followed some people to the hill in front of the building. I think this was the highlight of our short visit. After ten minutes’ walk under the trees, we arrived at the top where a Roman monument exists. From the one side we had a wonderful sunset in the golf and from the other Acropolis. We stayed there to enjoy almost an hour and then we exited the hill from the other side, just at the beautiful walking pedestrian street around Acropolis.
Next morning we had to leave early, so we had something like half an hour to take our breakfast. There is a very pleasant front veranda to enjoy meals, there was a toaster and a nespresso machine and coffee capsules. That was so convenient for us, because we had just to buy some bread from a bakery next corner. I hope next time to Athens to be able to book this again and for sure then, I will spend more time on that veranda also. Everything was fine !
