Guest Reviews
- Julia (10/5): - Bardzo dobry kontakt z Gospodarzem, mega pomocny. Przybyliśmy bardzo pozno do apartamentu, mielismy do dyspozycji butelke wody w lodowce oraz przekaski co bylo bardzo mile.Punkt super, wszystko pod reka- sklepy, knajpy oraz przystanek autobusowy. Czysto i pachnaco.Polecam serdecznie!
- Hanna (10/5): - The apartment is conveniently located, just a 25-minute walk from the city center. There's a bus stop and a wonderful cafe right outside the door. A supermarket is nearby. The accommodation is comfortable and has everything you need. Check-in was quick and easy, using a key box. The hostess was in touch all the time and gave me all the necessary advice. There were no bad impressions
- Marta (8/5): Взагалі нормальна квартира, співвідношення ціна -якість. - Чисто, приємно пахло, є необхідні речі. Особисто для мене незручні подушки, занадто мʼяке ліжко, в душі постійно вода на підлозі бо недостатньо закрита душова.

- Μαρια (9/5): - Ήταν η πρώτη μου εμπειρία από Airbnb. Και ήταν άριστη...
- Rugilė (8/5): - I liked this apartment for its place, just downstairs is a bus stop where if you take the 5 one you can get to whatever Athens place you need. The apartment has everything you need. I would suggest bringing a pair of slippers, because 90% of the apartment is tiles, and they are cold, plus in the shower is no curtain and if you are tall like me, the water will get everywhere, so slippers is a must for avoiding accidents.
- Ewa (10/5): -
- Jelena (10/5): Was a very lovely stay. Calm and peaceful. Recommend - I liked that is very clean and bright. Modern and you have everything you need for your stay. Felt safe in it too. The supermarkets just around the corner.
- Michalina (8/5): Good stay in a relatively central location - - well-equipped kitchen and nicely furnished space
- quiet at night
- good AC
- the owner responded quickly and helped us when needed - broken toilet seat and damaged bathroom door handle
- no shelves in the bathroom to place cosmetics
- rather unpleasant view from the bedroom window
- SEONGJIN (2/5): Poor maintenance, hygiene issues, and unreliable Wi-Fi - The host/owner tried to be responsive and made an effort to reply when I contacted them. Unfortunately, multiple issues came up during my stay, and the overall maintenance and preparation of the room were not at an acceptable level.
When I first arrived, the hair dryer was not working, so I requested a replacement. After that, I continued my stay despite several problems because changing rooms or making repeated requests during the trip felt inconvenient and disruptive. I tried to tolerate the situation and focus on my travel, but more issues appeared over the next few days.
Main problems (photos attached):
The toilet seat/lid was not properly installed or aligned, which felt unhygienic and uncomfortable to use.
The floor, especially under and around the bed area, appeared poorly cleaned with visible dust and dirt.
I found what appeared to be a cockroach/insect inside the room.
The Wi-Fi was unreliable throughout my stay. Even after reconnecting repeatedly and unplugging/replugging the device several times, it still didn’t work properly. In the end, I had to use my own mobile data via tethering to get online.
What made this especially disappointing is that the host asked whether everything was okay only about three days before my stay ended. By that time, it already felt too late. This kind of follow-up should happen much earlier, and the room should have been properly prepared from the beginning. Even considering that the host tried to respond, the number and nature of the issues suggest the property was not ready for guests.
Overall, these problems significantly affected my comfort and confidence in the hygiene and basic quality of the stay. I hope the management improves housekeeping, maintenance, and the Wi-Fi service for future guests.

- Andrzej (9/5): Το ιδανικό μέρος αν θέλετε να εξερευνήσετε την πρωτεύουσα! - Ήσυχη γειτονιά, πλήρως εξοπλισμένο διαμέρισμα, στην περιοχή έχουμε 2 καλές ταβέρνες.
- Adeline (9/5): Apparentement à 30min pied des différents sites historiques, avec tous les équipements nécessaire et très propre ! La pr - Très bien équipé, propriétaire réactivité et gentille, lit confortable
- Susana (10/5): - Apartamento súper equipado, bien comunicado ya que está al lado parada bus que comunica con centro ciudad en 15-20min.
Todo súper limpio, espacioso, sin duda lo recomendamos. La hora del Check-in nos pareció muy tarde a las 19h, però tuvieron el detalle de intentar que fuera lo antes posible. Finalmente pudimos entrar a las 18:30h por lo que agradecimos la atención.

- Rusu (8/5): Quiet - Close to the bus station, big apartment, in a good neighborhood, with free parking lot.
- Giuliana (6/5): grande potenziale sprecato - La casa è davvero perfetta, comoda, il letto fantastico e tutti i servizi funzionano bene. La zona è ottima perché a piedi si raggiunge facilmente il centro. Il check in alle 19 è una cosa davvero irrispettosa nei confronti di un viaggiatore. Soprattutto visto che l'indomani il check out è alle 10.00 - davvero servono 9 ore per pulire una casa piccolina?
Impossibile lasciare le valigie prima, quindi abbiamo pagato un locker per tenere i bagagli.
Eravamo svegli dalle 4 del mattino, siamo arrivati al pomeriggio che eravamo stanchissimi, quando finalmente alle 18.30 siamo riusciti ad avere le chiavi (mezz'ora prima del check in, detto come se avesse fatto un miracolo) ci siamo messi a riposare e abbiamo dormito fino all'indomani a causa della stanchezza accumulata.
Lasciare dei viaggiatori ad Agosto a dover girare per ore senza avere dove andare è assurdo. In tutto il mondo il check in è alle 14.30/15.00, non di più. Non ci siamo goduti la prima sera ad Atene perché eravamo distrutti. Mi spiace perché la casa è perfetta ma questa cosa ha rovinato tutto.
- Laurent (9/5): Très bien! - Très bel appartement spacieux et confortable. Bus à proximité pour aller au centre-ville. Il manquait quelques ustensiles de cuisine basiques (passoire, couteau qui coupe, planche à découper)

- Tamar (10/5): Wonderful Stay – Clean, Comfortable, and Friendly - I had a great stay at this apartment. Everything was very clean and well-maintained. The facilities were excellent, the location was convenient, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
- Gvantsa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Antonios (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, very nice, clean and comfortable appartment. Easy communication and helpful when needed a small change in check in time. The bed's matress could be changed to upgrade the overall quality a bit more.
- Iryna (10/5): Exceptional - Great apartment for short term stay.
Location is very good, 20 minutes walking to Akropolis, less with transport.
The apartment has a comfortable double bed, TV, AC and everything you need in the kitchen and in the bathroom.
First floor, but it’s a quiet street.
Everything was great.
- Periklis (9/5): Decent choice - Nice and clean. Value for money Some details about heating and space
- Rafaella (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean flat and the owners were the most helpful! We enjoyed our staying! The flat is located in a nice neighborhood and you can easily find a parking space if you drive around the block. There's a supermarket nearby and the base stop is close by.
- Marilyn (7/5): Good - It was clean and have everything you need for your stay. The neighbors were to noise it was really difficult to sleep and the bed was a little uncomfortable.
- Minas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Olivia (10/5): Perfect location to explore Athens. - The apartment was in the perfect spot to explore Athens, only a 2 minute walk to the bus stop while getting a taxi to the ports only took 15 minutes.
It was clean, modern and comfortable and the host made check in very easy. Surprisingly very quiet at night too.
- Ester (8/5): Good option for a short stay - I really appreciate the kindness of the host who made the earlier check in possible for us. Reactions of the host were quick and communication was smooth. We loved the bed and cushions, it was really comfy. There were few things that can be improved for no extra effort and price which can make the stay a bit better. We were missing few basic anemnities in the kitchen as cutting board or spatula. I guess we didn’t enjoy the neighborhood so much but it’s not a problem of this accomodation itself, just something to consider when you are booking. It felt a bit messy but not dangereous at all.
- Zsolt (10/5): Exceptional - Super clean, good location and they did go the extra mile. My flight got delayed, was nice to be able to find edible stuff in the apartment at a time in which I was truly exhausted and was difficult to find something open.
- Kristina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hajdi (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely, modern, spacious and clean apartment. It has two ACs and a great location. The bus station is right outside but it's not too far to walk to the centre. A balcony would be nice.
- Huiberdina (10/5): Charming and very comfortable, well located! - It’s a spacious charming flat ideally located for me from where my workshop was. Lots of nice restaurants and bars are walking distance. It was clean and the owner communicated very well
- Ειρηνη (8/5): I enjoyed and relaxed. Thank you. - Nice location by the local market. Easy access. All was great!
- Menelaos (10/5): Exceptional - Everything perfekt. Clean and confoortable, nicht appartment , not far from Center
- Efstratia (8/5): Very good -
- Yerbol (9/5): Superb - Very responsive owner, great spacious room with all you need to have a rest. The kitchen didn't have many tools, although they were not obliged to have them. Warm water is given only in 10 minutes after turning it on.
- Katherinaf (3/5): Much to be improved - The location of the apartment is very central in regards to Athens city center. The apartment seems to be recently renovated, equipped with electrical appliances. Very clean. There are many points than can be improved.
First and most important is the bed and the matress. The matress is not even a proper matress, it was the cheapest version one can get. On a vacation or work trip one does not care of having a huge expensive fridge. One cares of sleeping well. The wooden boards holding the matress fell multiple times and some even broke, as seen in pictures below. I was injured one of those times and although i reported it, the issue wasn't really fixed.
Speaking about reporting, twice the internet did not work. The first time i reported it, it was fixed promptly, the second time, i was just receiving messages from the owner, insisting that the internet is working, but it wasn't. Eventually i had to place the device on the balcony and someone picked it up and fixed it. This day i paid around 30 Euro worth of internet data in order to be able to work. Real customer service is not insisting that something is working, when it's not.
I had reported a few other things, such as no hangers in bathroom and no small light in bedroom and it was taken care of.
However, few more things must improve.
There is no place in the bathroom or shower to place toiletries. That is how i broke my serum costing more than one night's stay. The toilet seat is broken. There is no mirror apart from the small one in the bathroom. The shutter in the bedroom is rotten and an injury danger. There are no large cups for coffee and no pot to make greek coffee. No one replaced my handsoap in 2 weeks of my stay. The couch is not comfortable.
Lastly, one would prefer a washing machine than a dishwasher.
- Roumelioti (8/5): Very good -
- Nektaria (10/5): Exceptional -
