Guest Reviews

• thibaut (8/5): - Hôte disponible, propre (nettoyage quotidien). Proche d’une route rapide, on l’entend malgré que les fenêtres soient fermées.
• Carla (10/5): Suite confortável, limpa e anfitrião atencioso - Limpeza, conforto, atenção do anfitriã e delicadeza na recepção.
• Vasileios (9/5): -
• Carole (10/5): Super location - L'appartement est moderne, très bien équipé, très propre. Malgré du bruit dans le salon à cause la route, les chambres sont au calme. La terrasse est magnifique mais bruyante. La machine à laver/sèche linge est appréciable. Les chambres ont de grands lits. Le petit coin café/thé est une attention très agreable. Sa localisation un peu excentrée mais pas trop loin à pied quand même évite l'animation du centre touristique. Les personnes qui gèrent la location sont très réactive et ont à coeur de faciliter notre séjour. Si je devais revenir à Athènes, je choisirais le même appartement. Le bruit dans ́le sejour ou la terrasse mais au final, les prestations de cet appartement sont tellement bien que ça n’est pas un point si grave.
• Tony (8/5): - The room was great, it has everything you need in a self catering room, bed was comfortable and bathroom was nice. It was a pleasant room to be in. The communication with the host was great and any issues and questions were handled quickly.

• Anastasios (9/5): - Πολύ ωραίο δωμάτιο σε πολύ ήσυχη γειτονιά βρήκα άνετα parking για την μηχανή χωρίς φόβο. Πεντακάθαρο και περιποιημένο, όταν ξαναέρθω Αθήνα θα το ξανά προτιμήσω.

• Lucinda (10/5): Lovely apartment, perfect for your stay in Athens. - The apartment is clean, comfortable and in a good location. There are restaurants and supermarkets close by. It is a 15min walk to the Metro and 25min to the Acropolis. There is a communal roof top terrace with comfortable chairs which is lovely in the evening. The host is quick to reply to any questions and give recommendations. We really enjoyed using this apartment for our stay in Athens. The area is quiet and pleasant but there is a busy main road at the bottom of the street. The apartment is very well insulated so road noise is to a minimum, but worth mentioning if this is something that concerns a visitor.
• Zhang (4/5): Disappointing - The position is good The bed is not comfortable, no much space in the bedroom.
• Themiya (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marija (10/5): Exceptional - We had a great stay at the Philosopher's House in Athens. The apartment is clean, well-equipped, and located around 20 minutes walk from Acropolis. Everything was as described and the communication with the host was smooth and friendly. The only small surprise was the glass door to the bathroom, which offers limited privacy ( I think it's perfect for couples, but I was there with my friend :D ). Other than that, everything was perfect and we would definitely recommend this place to other travelers.
• Joanna (10/5): Exceptional - I highly recommended this Apartment. Only 20 mins walk to Acropolis. Quiet and peaceful street. Well soundproofed Apartment. Really kind and helpful Host.
• Dávid (10/5): Highly recommend it! - The apartment was cozy and well-equipped, perfect for our 4-day trip! It featured a comfortable double bed, a shower, and a living room with a small kitchen that had everything we needed. The host was exceptionally kind, offering to arrange an airport shuttle, sharing great tips about Athens, and staying in touch throughout our stay to ensure everything was going smoothly. The free coffee and a lovely bottle of Greek wine made the experience even more special. The apartment is located just a 25-minute walk from the Acropolis. Within a 5-10 minute walk, we found a fantastic brunch spot, a gelateria, and an excellent traditional Greek restaurant.
• Ian (10/5): Exceptional -
• Estelle (9/5): Great little place in Athens! - The owner was very friendly and helped me with any questions. The location was great, on the quieter side of the Acropolis, so a short walk to the centre but more local restaurants around. The apartment was clean and had dark curtains, which was great for a good night's sleep. It was a little noisy because of the road nearby, but nothing crazy that would keep you awake at night.
• Chris (9/5): Superb -
• Henry (9/5): Superb - Nice location in a rural suburban area, showing you some of the real greece. Great location 20-30min walk from city centre, great park/nature area/great for walking and seeing sights 5min walk, what can lead you to the acropolis. You also might see a turtle 🐢 or two. Watch your step ;)
• Nadezda (9/5): Nice but close to the street - Renovated, clean small, very noisy from the street
• Tamás (3/5): Dirty bed with stains - Got a quick refund The apartment was very dirty, cleaning rags and food particles around the room. The bed had red and yellow stains and body hairs in it. The bathroom had no soap and just an almost empty toilet roll. We had to quickly book a more expensive hotel because we couldn't sleep in a bed this dirty. Not 1 star because we got a refund quickly.
• Lizzie (8/5): Perfect pad for an Athens adventure - The property was very well maintained, modern and comfortable. It was clean and the air conditioning was a god send. It is about a 20/30 minute walk to the main attractions in Athens and there are plenty of bars and cafes within a 15 minute walk. We especially liked Koukai and Bite Box (the Poffies were unreal). When we had an issue with some work that was being done the contact dealt with it quickly and in a way that we were happy with. One night the upstairs neighbours were quite noisy and banged around a lot which disturbed our sleep. However this comes with the territory of being in a city apartment. The other two nights we didn’t hear the neighbours at all.
• Iñaki (10/5): Exceptional -
• Carolina (10/5): Amazing, cozy, and will definitely come back here every time. - It was an absolute stunning place with an amazing rooftop terrace. The house was well equipped and the host was always available for every question we had. They even have a QR code around the house that helps with overall information about the city and places to visit.
• Patricio (10/5): Great place in a convenient location. - It was very comfortable, well located, clean and spacious. It was at reasonably walking distance from the historical attractions and also from small restaurants and shops.
• Naomi (10/5): Exceptional - Everything
• Steph (10/5): The highlight of the stay was undoubtedly the stunning roof terrace. - The Location was superb! A very short walk to the city centre and some lovely little restaurants around the corner with great food!
• Hristos (6/5): Far from the expectations created by the photos that were mixed with the other units in The Philosopher’s. - It’s a renovated place with modern equipment. Clean space. It’s not a functional place, bathroom with no floor towel, no hooks or shelves for clothes and personal things, it gets soaked after showering. The room is a bed cramped between walls with no shelves and space for personal things., glasses and cell phone must be left on the floor. The kitchen with a coffee machine with capsules that are impossible to find, a pan that is not suitable for the induction cooktop. We tried to get in touch but it took a long time to get a evasive reply.
• Paul (8/5): Well worth the trip. - Very smart and modern inside. Convenient location for visiting attractions such as acropolis, Socrates prison.
• Abby (9/5): Awesome stay at an awesome place! - Very modern, clean, and comfortable. The host was very good, always available for questions, had some great recommendations. The rooftop was also very nice. Would definitely stay again! It was just a tiny bit far from the areas we were visiting, but even still this was not a big deal to us. There was plenty of great bars and restaurants just a short walk away.
• John (10/5): Fantastic quality - Nice place for a city break in Athens. The manager of the property will go the extra mile to make your stay perfect.
• Софиянец (6/5): Pleasant - Great communication with the host, who quickly resolved a problem. The apartment is rather small but within a wlaking distance to the main sights in the city's center (1-2 km). The vicinity offers many cafes and traditional restaurants and tavernas. Since it is near to a large avenue, the traffic and the noise never stop, even with a closed window.
• Adriana (10/5): Exceptional - -very convinient location close to subway and bus station -nice interior, comfortable bed, very clean -great terrace with nice view - very noisy as located just next to main street, doors could be more isolated - no kettle to boil water, there was coffee machine but only 2 capsules were left for us for 2 nights,
• Mckelvie (7/5): Good -
• Paloma (10/5): Amazing place to stay in Athens! - We had an amazing stay at the Philosopher's house! Everything is modern and clean, the terrace is incredible to spend some moments. 20 minutes walking to the center but being in a calm and safe neighbourhood which is also amazing to explore with restaurants and coffees nearby. The host is very accessible and flexible with everything! We will highly recommend it and we will be back for sure.
• Jovana (8/5): Highly recommend this appartment if you want to be near the city but also to have some piece and quiet after long walk - We liked how clean it was, the roof terrace which was amazing, really modern appartment with nice system for door locking (you don’t need keys, just codes), it’s not in the city center so it is quite (regardless traffic nearby) Sometimes internet was weak, traffic around but if you close the window, everything is ok then.
• George (8/5): Very good -
• Eleonora (7/5): Good - The apartment is cozy for a couple. The metro station is 10 minute walk from the property. Clean and fully equipped with homeware. (Nespresso Vertuo Machine, tv smart flat screen). If you are a coffee lover, like us , the two vertuo capsules ( that are complimentary)aren’t enough so you need to buy more. All of the sudden , the cable from bathroom ‘s shower phone went off.
• Aleksandra (10/5): Exceptional - Clean and comfy
• Ana (9/5): Superb -
• Macguyverman (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely, cosy apartment with all the amenities you could need. Great roof terrace for my morning coffee.
• Serpil (8/5): Good location close to the center, clean apartment and a satisfactory place to stay short term but only to visit Athens - Location close to the center, very clean apartment, with attention to washed and even good-smelling towels and bedsheets which is not a given The location is close to the main road and it’s quite noisy. It was hard to sleep, since the noise isolation wasn’t great. Also, we found some design issues that bothered our stay: the lighting was not good in the apartment (no option for dimmed lights), no bedside table or something similar to be used for tea etc but only a gap between the bed and the wall where the stuff could be put on the floor, the Netflix account on the TV was frequently occupied and non-usable, the bathroom had hand soap dispenser without containing any soap, and the shower head was poorly maintained and the head was coming out of the water tube.
• Ioseb (9/5): Superb -
• Robinson (10/5): Exceptional -
• Özge (10/5): Exceptional - Great vibe
• Stanislav (10/5): Exceptional - It was a new apartment so everything was in perfect condition. Self check in was a big plus because we had to check in and check out during the night. Because of the location if you keep the windows open you can hear the traffic from the nearby boulevard.
• Athan (10/5): I can't wait to return and book again - The host is amazing, answers all my questions, helpful in every possible way, goes above and beyond. Gorgeous fully renovated rooms with all facilities. Easy access, Location in a real greek quaint neighbourhood, absent from tourist crowds close easy access to all public transportation, short trip to all the tourist attractions
• Angie (9/5): Comfortable stay - The property was well equipped, very modern and comfortable. 100% recommended. It was a little bit too far from the city center, a 15 mins drive. The cellphone signal is not that good and we didn’t have the wifi password.
• Donnelly (10/5): Incredible stay and very quick and helpful guidance - The place was so nice, modern and comfortable plus had everything we needed around it. All questions were answered promptly when asked.
• Ellen (9/5): Great host, great neighbourhood, little bit far from the centre - First of all, the host was very nice and available - answering all my messages really quick. the access to the ground-floor apartment is very convenient with no need for collecting keys, entering a code. when we came there wasn't hot water in the shower but the host fixed it quickly and even set us up with free breakfast! as a couple, we really liked the neighbourhood and walked by foot almost everywhere (30 min walk to downtown but 5 min by taxi). we didn't use so much the roof terrace. it was a good place to stay for two people
• Tracy (1/5): Bad -
