- Michael (9/5): - Lokalita a celkově apartmán byl pěkný za nádhernou cenu pro 5 lidí.
- Gaile (7/5): Excellent location, value for the money - Location is excellent, nice hosts Loud neighbours, blanket cover was not clean, after showering all bathroom was full with water, limited number of towels available, which were not drying.

- Laura (10/5): Siamo stati molto bene in questo appartamento situato in una zona centrale vicinissima all’acropoli. La procedura di che - Struttura spaziosa e pulita in zona vicinissima al centro.
- Claire (9/5): - The apartment was clean, spacious with very comfortable beds and in a great location, just a short walk to the Acropolis but also local restaurants and bakeries. Perfect for a stay with teenagers.
- Alessandro (8/5): Posizione comodissima per visitare a piedi il centro di datene - la posizione
la dimensione
l'aria condizionata (necessaria)
- Inmaculada (8/5): Perfecto! - Apartamento espacioso y muy bien ubicado, cerca del centro, puedes llegar a la zona de Plaka dando un pequeño paseo de 10 minutos. Restaurantes, tiendas, etc, alrededor. Todo genial salvo porque tuvimos algunos insectos en la zona de la cocina, imaginamos que sería por el calor, había un spray para ello y problema solucionado ☺️
- Melissa (9/5): - Pulitissimo e molto accessoriato Manca il bidet, ma a questo punto penso sia un lusso solo italiano
- Silvia (6/5): - Appartamento spazioso, in ottima posizione per visitare l'acropoli, in palazzina tranquilla. Il proprietario rispondeva prontamente ai messaggi. Abbiamo avuto un problema con gli scarafaggi in cucina. La prima sera ne abbiamo trovato uno, speravamo fosse un caso isolato, ma l'ultima notte ne abbiamo contati una ventina. Avvisato il proprietario, ci ha assicurato che avrebbe provveduto alla disinfestazione. È stato piuttosto spiacevole.
- estelle (9/5): Confort à Athènes - La localisation : à côté de l’accropole ! A deux pas il y a des épiceries et une très bonne boulangerie.
Il est bien équipé et spacieux.
La clim est appréciable.
Les propriétaires réactifs et sympathiques. Rien
- Joanna (8/5): Convenient location, in a comfortable and safe space. - The location was great and felt very safe. Also having a clothes washer is a huge plus! The beds are very comfortable and the space is lovely. The kitchen could use a cork screw and the only sharp knife was broken. When sweeping up I pulled up a lot of hair that wasn’t ours. Other than that it was fantastic.
- Nancy (10/5): Apartment is in a prime location. Plenty of restaurants and close to The Acropolis and Plaka shopping district. The ow - Perfect for families. On a hill. Sidewalk slippery at times.
- Ewa (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location very close to all main attractions .Apartment had everything what we needed.No problem with communications with the owner. I can highly recommend this apartment.
- Lucinda (8/5): Well located comfortable apartment - The apartment is well located within 20 minutes walk of the Acropolis. From the outside the building doesn't look very appealing but the apartment is nicely decorated with comfortable beds and a good shower. The living room has a large tv with Netflix and the AC works well. The host Kyriaki communicated with us well and allowed a slightly early and late check in No real negatives would just say that it would have been nice to have a microwave and extra bin liners as you cannot flush paper down the toilet
- Alexander (9/5): Superb - Good location - in the city center, 15 min walk from Acropolis.
Comfortable flat with two bedrooms and a living room.
- Hervé (9/5): Superb - Close to Acropolis, quiet neighborhood, standard apartment, easy to park a rental car in the street for free... not a "gem", but good quality/price
- Jernej (9/5): Cosy apartment well worth the price. Would recommend and would stay again if I come to Athens again. - Apartment is very cosy and nice for a family or small group. Location was very good, quite close to city and attractions. Plenty of taxis (uber) in the area, so never had to wait too long for one to come by.
Owners were very quick with replies and helpfull with all questions. I prefer to sleep with open windows and in the mornings street below was a little noisy, but nothing to worry about.
WiFi was working a little slow, so it was a bit problematic for work, but could use 5G from my hotspot instead.
- Zsuzsa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pauline (8/5): We enjoyed our stay at Athens Gem. I would recommend it - Location was great. Close to metro and attractions. Lots of restaurants within easy walking distance. Apartment was clean and tidy. The shower was FABULOUS! WIFI didn't work well. No wine glasses or corkscrew. It would have been good to have kitchen basics such as salt and pepper and perhaps a little coffee and sugar, even just a few sachets to begin with
- Anthoula (10/5): Comfortable stay in Athens - Location, comfortable beds, excellent communication with owner.
- Amir (10/5): Exceptional - The location was good, and there was everything in the apartment, so it was a very convenient stay.
- Kavunkal (9/5): Overall, excellent place if you ignore some minor shortfall - The building and apartment felt safe Better to have a shower curtain, washing machine could have improved a bit better, kitchen supply may be improved
- Glen (10/5): Exceptional - was excellent. Had constant communication with the host. Arrived, keys in lock box..
- Cecile (10/5): Perfect stay in Athens - We stayed for three days with our two young daughters. The apartment is excellent, comfortable and super clean. It is ideally situated to visit Athens top sites (walking distance from the Acropolis, even with kids). The neighbourhood is quiet and friendly. Exchanges with the owner before and during our stay were perfect.
- Lara (8/5): A nice apartment in Athens - A nice apartment well located, very close to Metro and Tram.
It has all the equipments needed, it is clean and you can have a drink on the cute balcony. Beds were fine, bathroom of good size & new.
It is also well decorated with details showing the host cares about the aesthetics.
The host is very friendly and can be reached very easily.
Also it is close to a supermarket and down the road, a nice bakery where you can buy Greek pastries & specialties.
I recommend it. Maybe having 2 set of keys would be good when you are many travelers, I haven't asked if we could have another set though. I'm sure it would be possible.
