Guest Reviews

• Sharon (3/5): I was very unhappy to have paid top dollar for a basement - The location was excellent It was in a basement with no windows with a view or outside access. We booked 2 months in advance in order to get a nice room with a view , we did not know this was a basement suite
• matteo (5/5): - La ubicación y su limpieza Está ubicado en un sótano y no lo aclara en ningún lugar
• OFELIA (9/5): Definitely recommend 💯%!!!! - Great location, very clean and host very kind !!!
• Janice (8/5): It was a nice, comfortable stay. No complaints. - A perfect location. A few minutes from the Metro, a few minutes from cafes and many good restuarants and a few minutes from the acropolis. Very easy to find from the metro, easy key pick up. Comfy bed, nice bathroom, facilities to make small meals. Spotlessly clean. Dark and no view as it's a basement apartment but we already knew this.
• Saroj (8/5): Nice stay but to see the view you need to use common area and that may be locked during your stay! - Location
• Fredrik (8/5): - The location near Acropolis the price and size of the studio. Problems with checking i , it took us 50 min despite that we followed the instructions. The description didn’t say that tje stay was in a cellar.
• Bianca (10/5): Perfect location - Very comfortable place, clean and new, spacious (needed for our 2 large suitcases), amazing location, and the communication with the host was really great. Its a busy area, so street noise is expected. It didn't bother us much, but if you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs. We loved it there regardless, and I'd still totally recommend it.
• sarita (9/5): Marvellous stay on excellent location and value for money - Location Facilities Kettle Hairdryer Iron Value for money Great host - gave me great tips Aircon Shower Toiletries Slightly unclear instruction regarding the route from Syntagma station to the apartment. Best route was to walk which was 10 min because I didn’t have any suitcases
• Horváth (10/5): - location perfect, clean place -
• Maria Jose (8/5): - Ubicación No avisaron que hay que encender el termo y hay mucha mosca por humedad en el baño
• Ralf (3/5): Schlechteste Wohnung die wir hatten. - Gute Gegend, Rooftop Zugang Die Wohnung liegt im Souterrain, Nur Notfenster mit Blick auf Betonwände. In der Anzeige und Buchungsportal keinerlei Angaben auf die Souterrain Lage!!! Das ist grobe Irreführung. Wir hätten nie diese Wohnung gebucht. Wohnung hatte viele Abortfliegen, (jeden Tag neue) auch wohl schon den Vormietern an den Wänden zerquetsch hinterlassen wurden.
• Fiona (10/5): Perfect Location - Great spot right in the centre of everything you need to see, and plenty of restaurants close by. Very well organised, clean room, and a lovely little rooftop. The host was great too!
• esteban tiscornia (9/5): Excellent apartment - The apartment was very comfortable, and we'll located We have to wait 1 hour for the check-in because the cleaning lady start cleaning when we arrive at check in time(3pm)
• laura (8/5): - Posizione Poca luce, piano sotterraneo
• Anna (7/5): Not worth the price. Better options in Athens at the same price point or cheaper. Wouldn’t book agai - Having to book and then spend €25 each to sit on the sunbeds on the rooftop bar and only being allowed 3 hours.
• Ginette (10/5): Endroit idéal pour visiter les principales attractions d’Athènes - C’est l’endroit idéal pour tout visiter, l’Acropole, le musée de l’Acropole, la Plaka, l’agora romaine etc. On peut facilement prendre le métro depuis l’aéroport jusqu’à Syntagma (ligne bleue) et à coté de la station Acropolis (ligne rouge). La responsable nous a fourni plein de renseignements et a eu la gentillesse de nous permettre d’arriver à 13H puisque notre avion avait atterrit à 9h25. On a pas beaucoup profité du Roof top parce qu’on était trop occupé à visiter et une journée d’excursion pour aller voir les Météores. Avis aux intéressés, c’est une longue journée de 14h en autobus, mais c’est vraiment splendide et on peut relaxer dans l’autobus. On a été avec meteoratrip. Je recommande le restaurant Liondi sur Makrigianni. Tout était très bien
• Nathan (10/5): Amazing.10/10 - Incredible rooftop with amazing views. Very clean and comfortable accommodation. Lovely host and overall a fantastic experience. Nothing
• Jacqui (9/5): Perfect stay with so much fun - Firstly the communication was exceptional and extremely helpful. The location was perfect and the outside noise did not bother us one bit, it was comforting and happy to hear the joy. Nothing
• Wendy (8/5): Great location in a special city - Location, size, presentation. Hosts were very good communicators & we really appreciated the opportunity to access the apartment early. The TV didn’t work. Netflix is allegedly available but I’m not going to use my log in on a random location. A toaster would be good instead of 2 coffee machines. There was only one bowl for breakfast, so we had to take turns to eat our cereal.
• Wendy (9/5): Perfect Pkaka - Great communication from host; perfect location & very comfortable. Nothing
• Islam (3/5): -
• Hoeppner (10/5): -
• Robert (9/5): - Location, Location, Location
• marx (8/5): Location is unmatched, such a hidden gem in the city - Excellent location very central - lovely rooftop access. Wonderful airconditioning to escape the heat. The shower leaked a little when showering and additional small dustbin bags or information of where to throw out the dustbin could be provided.
• Sophie (7/5): Overall positive experience, with a couple of unfortunate exceptions. - The location was amazing. Close to many restaurants and popular attractions. Unfortunately the aircon in the bedroom began leaking during the night making it unusable. It is on the street side making it noisy at certain times during the night.
• Ginia (4/5): Beware it is a basement appartment. With bugs - It was a basement appartment. There bugs in the shower. The elevator did not work. Location was great. But there were bugs. And the primary appeal was the roof top view. But what they did not tell you it was a basement appartment It had bugs coming out of the shower and it was a basement appartment
• Philippe (1/5): Good location but basement apartment with no light - Location was great but… Please know this apartment is in the basement with two tiny underground windows. The photos make you think you have access to the rooftop which you do but you have to walk up a flight of stairs, then take an elevator to the third floor then a spiral staircase to the roof. On the roof you have two small benches and thats it. We spent most of our time either out of the building or on the roof as the apartment was like a cave.
• Serleth (8/5): Great spot in Plaka with a rooftop view—just a few hiccups - The location of this place is absolutely perfect—right in the heart of Plaka, with a rooftop view of the Acropolis that’s truly stunning. It’s a great base for a short stay, and the host was responsive. The unit is in the basement, so there’s not much natural light or fresh air (which we expected), but it’s still a cozy spot to come back to after exploring the city. Unfortunately there was a hiccup with the AC, the host came quickly and tried to fix it, which we appreciated, even though it couldn’t be fully resolved during our stay. The shower’s a bit snug and tends to splash, so a quick wipe after is helpful—nothing too bothersome Overall, the unbeatable location and view made up for the quirks, and with a few small fixes, this place could be even better The AC issue- it started dripping and created an indoor pond in the bedroom, so we had to turn it off and the room got warm. Opening the window didn’t help much with airflow and came with a bit of street noise
• Kati (8/5): Very good - For a claustrophobic it would have been nice to know in advance that the apartment is underground and there basically was no window (tiny window underground, where you see only a wall does not count). The really nice rooftop and working Netflix helped though.
• Nicholas (10/5): Exceptional - Awesome place! The location was ideal and the rooftop deck was extra special.
• Sarah (9/5): Perfect location with excellent hosts!! - PERFECT location! Rooftop was amazing!!
• Cheene (9/5): almost to perfect - its so near to acropolis and museum and when u walk a little everything is there and everything is easy and its clean,love the coffee and biscuit lol.check in and check out is easy.everything is good almost perfect no one is there that can assist me bec im solo traveler i have to check everything online and check it myself,and funny i can the other room sounds what they are doing lol
• Katherine (7/5): Good - Good location Moldy walls, no shower door so the shower soaks the room, unresponsive host
• Antonio (10/5): If we come back to Athens we will definitely be booking the same accommodation. - The thing we loved the most was the location. We were a 4 minute walk to the acropolis hill and museum and only a short walk to all of the attractions and museums. In fact we only took the metro to go on a couple excursions. It was cozy even though it was in the basement, that didn’t bother us one bit. It was amazing, and we loved the shower. The roof top was easy to access and we had it all to ourselves. The property owner Liroy communicated with us a few times during our stay to see how we were getting on and even extended our check out time so we could keep our luggage in the flat while we enjoyed our last day.
• Firdous (8/5): Very good - great location, spacious and clean
• Stefanos (9/5): Superb -
• Newman-tyler (8/5): Good for a very short stay. - Location, location, location. The roof view of the Acropolis is amazing. In the middle of Plaka, close to everything you want to see. Tidy, small apartment. No fresh air, but I knew that when I booked. You can open windows but the sound of pedestrians and street noise makes this impractical.
• Cecelia (9/5): Amazing location. Easy to get to from airport and port. Host was super responsive and literally everything at your door - Location incredible Facilities fabulous Worth noting below ground, no issue as cool, but good to note Very poor wifi. Understandable as underground
• Jen (9/5): Perfect for a visit to all the historical sights. Communication with host was awesome. - The shower pressure was amazing. The air conditioning makes a funny noise every time it goes on off- hard to get to sleep.
• Manuela (9/5): Superb - The location is the best, is close to everything Maybe the mattress is a little uncomfortable
• Thériault (10/5): Exceptional - The location was perfect, I liked the rooftop view on the Acropolis, it was air conditioned and cozy. The only thing is I spotted mold where the reading corner is when I tried to move the cushions but it's not very noticeable. Just a thing you might want to look into Nothing. It was a great stay!
• Mg (10/5): The best!!! - The owner of the property offered us lots of advice, guides and suggestions for us to do during our stay. Lots of amazing recommendations for activities which were all in a walking distance from the property!
• Niki (5/5): Passable - There were flies all over the apartment when I asked about it I only got no response but sent me a pre written message about checking out . It was a little upsetting to not get a response because we were there for two days and the owner could’ve come down and helped us out with the bugs
• Kyle (10/5): This place is a spacious, beautiful space to stay right in the center of Athens! - The location is absolutely great. You are in the middle of everything, just a short walk to the acropolis and several other ruins, at the edge of the tourist shopping area. And don’t forget, there is a view of the acropolis from the roof! And it’s great at night! The only issue we had was that the washing machine had broken the day before we arrived, which was a bummer because we planned to do laundry in the middle of our three week trip while in Athens. However, the owner worked with us to help find a local laundry place that took care of our clothes and refund the cost. The owner was great and easy to work with through this minor inconvenience that they turned into not an issue at all!
• Payal (6/5): Nice central apartment - This property is perfect for anyone who wants to stay very close to acropolis and main Athens area. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to stay centrally and doesn’t care much about room set up. Given it’s a basement apartment right by the street, it feels like a little basement cave you living in. The host was very prompt and responsive to us on any issues we had in the apartment. Wasn’t very happy with quality of bed in general. Didn’t sleep very well.
• Jesse (8/5): Very good - The location of the property was amazing! It was a short walk to most of the attractions. The property was also clean and tidy. I didn’t like the fact that the property was in the basement and also some of the other residences were really rude.
• Rita (9/5): Great attentive host who was super friendly and helpful. The location was the best thing meant we could walk everywhere. - Amazing location in the heart of everything. Possibly more towels.
• Gurbir (10/5): Great location - Central location. Just a five minute walk from Acropolis metro. This basement room is spacious and airy. The bedroom is quiet and comfortable. The rain head shower is lovely. Lift up to the top floor and then up a flight to the rooftop with the views. Liroy, the owner responded quickly to any messages through the app. And was very helpful with tips about stores and stuff. Nothing
• Wipula (9/5): Superb - The flat is well-located, within Plaka and a five minutes walk to the Acropolis and other attractions. The flat is spacious with a separate room from the living room, and a small kitchenette. The common rooftop with view of the Acropolis is perfect for an evening drink before dinner! The flat was located underground, under the street so you had no natural light. You could hear people walking by but nothing too disruptive. You will sleep well.
• Raffi (8/5): Very good -
• Oleksii (6/5): Good price and location, but for comfort living I cleaned apartment from dust and hair - Good location Dirty floor in apartment, it's looks like nobody clean apartment before my arrival
• Kamal (10/5): Exceptional -
• Craig (3/5): I checked out a day early, leaving the place clean and well kept. I asked for a days refund and heard nothing back from - It was clean and orderly It had no internet as promised.
• Lauren (8/5): Comfortable modern apartment with all necessary amenities. - The location of this apartment is ideal for exploring all the key sites of Athens and Plaka. The bed is very comfortable and modern bathroom is lovely. Being on the basement level, the apartment is a little dark. But this didn't matter as we were out exploring the whole time!
• Felipe (10/5): Great apartment, clean and near or everything - Near of Acropolis
• Lynne (9/5): Superb -
• Julie (10/5): Amazing place, centraly located, taxi’s everywhere so very convenient the host were so hospitable I can’t fault them for - In the centre of everything Nothing
• Marcy (8/5): Very good - Great location near the Acropolis and many other important sites! Apartment was well appointed and comfortable. Host was responsive and helpful. Apartment was a bit noisy as we were in the basement with street level windows. Even with the windows and blinds closed, there was quite a bit of late night and early morning noise.
• Bharat (8/5): Very good -
• Danielle (5/5): Passable - Decent stay, basic & clean. No frills option. Sterile. Apartment block. Under street level non natural light.
• Tracey (10/5): Exceptional - Nice spacious clean apartment in top location.
• Rinno (10/5): I had unforgettable experiences! - The location was perfect! And also the view from rooftop was amazing. The owner was so nice. Definitely 10/10 The room key was confused me because it’s way different than my country’s. But it’s not the problem.
• Miriam (8/5): Perfect location! - The location is excellent - within easy walking distance of all the monuments, cafés, restaurants, shops, and the metro. The flat itself is modern, tastefully decorated, and spacious, and as it is a basement flat, it was nice and cool and there was no need to use the air-conditioning. From the rooftop, you can see views of the city, and the Acropolis, which is illuminated at night. The kitchen area has a full-sized fridge, a kettle, two coffee machines, and plenty of plates, cups, glasses and cultlery. We didn't cook but there was a portable electric cooker (hot plates) in the cupboard. There is a round table, and chairs, a sofa and a flat-screen TV. The description on Booking says that there is a washing machine, but we didn't see one. The lighting is good. The bedroom is a good size with lots of wardrobe space, and the bathroom has good quality towels, and a great shower, (though I always wish modern showers didn't have such small shower screens - we always end up flooding the floor). The host is very communicative, and caring, though I wasn't sure that my messages reached him. (Possibly a hitch with the Booking app). His welcome message included precise directions to the apartment, how to get the keys (very easy!) and a lot of useful information about what to do in Athens. Although the pillows were just right, I found the bed very uncomfortable; the type of mattress didn't suit me, unfortunately. The apartment was a bit noisy at times, but luckily, not very late at night. It doesn't state anywhere in the description that it is a basement flat.
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rolands (7/5): Good -
• Anonymous (8/5): Great location - Fantastic location and the rooftop was amazing to sit at night and look at the Acropolis. The communication with the owner was exceptional I didn’t realise it was a basement apartment, so next to no natural light.
• Michael (8/5): Relaxing, comfortable and perfectly located - Great host communications and excellent location. It is in the basement (with some natural light) so nice and cool in the summer heat with good aircon as needed. The roof top terrace can be accessed by the lift and is a great spot to sit for a while in the evenings There is supposed to be a washing machine there (listed on facilities) but it has been removed - this may be just a temporary repair. As we were only staying 3 nights it was not critical at all - just if you were staying longer it might be a consideration. We were heading off sailing so we just washed a few things by hand and dried them on the rooftop using the laundry rack provided in the apartment... not an issue.
• Loren (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ali (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jessica (10/5): Brilliant - great value for money. Location phenomenal. Safe and easily accessible - Location was absolutely perfect - within walking distance of everything! A lovely area to be in. Access to a lot of restaurants etc. Lovely apartment which was very safe. Roof top access was also amazing. Excellent value for money. Super specific instructions which made it very very easy to collect the keys and find the apartment. I also really loved that directions were included - they ended up helping me a huge amount! Host was lovely - I know that if I had any issues I could have easily reached out (of course I didn’t need to) Nothing that I didn’t like - I only wish I had stayed an extra night!
• Warren (10/5): Exceptional -
• Elizabeth (10/5): Incredible place to stay in Athens! would definitely stay there if I came back - We loved the location! We really enjoyed our glass of wine on the rooftop looking at the Acropolis. Our hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful regarding all questions and gave great suggestions for things to do Athens!
