Guest Reviews

• Keenal (1/5): A scary and dirty disaster - The location was very central and keys were very easy to collect. The host sent photos of the building location and of where to collect the keys which was great. Everything else was awful though. After arriving at the building and taking a closer look, it was dirty and unkempt everywhere. Although the place was cheap, there is a minimum standard of cleanliness that is expected. Ants fell onto my bed and there were lots crawling around. Whilst some may be expected as I went in June when it was hot, moving the bed away from the wall and keep things cleaner would certainly help. There wasn't a shower curtain or towel hook. There was stains on the bedsheet and dirt/dust everywhere. Terrace was in disrepair. Walls were dirty. And as the top floor is only accessible by lift (stairs do not go to the last floor), I was stuck up here as the lift was being repaired on my last day and my host failed to mention this to me. I was panicked that I would be stuck for a while as the host also didn't answer my calls and messages. The lift company themselves had to help free me from this horrible, unsafe apartment on the top floor. Whilst the location and price are good, nobody should be staying here. When I messaged the host about the cleanliness, he sent screenshots of AI overviews saying that Airbnb hosts essentially cut corners in cleaning places due to high turnaround and he didn't seem to care when I was trapped due to not being able to leave the building so he also doesn't deserve anybodies business. Stay away from this wreck.
• Larissa Camila (9/5): The place is cozy and well located, the owner responded my questions, and my stay was very pleasant - The property was easy to find and had convenient access. When I arrived, the place was pleasantly cool, which created a nice first impression and gave off welcoming vibes. It felt comfortable and inviting right away. Some of the furniture was either broken or not working properly, which took away a bit from the overall experience. A little maintenance would make a big difference.

• Camille (7/5): Bon rapport qualité prix. - L'emplacement et la vue. La plaque chauffante était hors service. Je l'ai communiqué et rien n'a été fait. Il n'y a donc aucun moyen de cuisson. Un peu dommage lorsqu'on le decouvre après avoir fait les courses... Aussi plusieurs ampoules hors service...en lisant les avis il s'avère que ces problématiques sont déjà signalées à maintes reprises. Il est peut-être temps d'agir!

• Konstantia (2/5): ΑΠΟΓΟΗΤΕΥΤΙΚΗ ΚΑΙ ΑΔΙΑΝΟΗΤΗ Η ΣΥΜΠΕΡΙΦΟΡΑ ΓΙΑ ΕΚΔΟΣΗ ΝΟΜΟΤΥΠΗΣ ΑΠΟΔΕΙΞΗΣ 3 ΒΡΑΔΙΩΝ. - BE CAREFUL! I asked from the host for an official receipt for the 3 nights I stayed there, and although in the beginning he was telling me that he will send it to me, this never happened. After 12 days from my last day of staying there, and numerous messages on booking platform, sms's and viber, the host was avoiding me, and he was even barring my calls, no matter from which phone number I was calling. I called the Headquarters of Booking.com in London, and they also experienced the same avoidance and lack of communication regarding the issue of the receipt. The employee of Booking advised me to write immediately about my experience on the evaluation of the place, that's why I am writing all these. In addition, Booking.com advised me to send as soon as possible my complaints to the relevant entities in Greece, such as the Independent Authority for Public Revenue and the Greek Ombudsman. ΠΡΟΣΟΧΗ! Ζήτησα εγκαίρως από τον οικοδεσπότη νομότυπη απόδειξη για τα 3 βράδια που έμεινα, κι ενώ στην αρχή μου έλεγε ότι θα τη στείλει, δε συνέβη ποτέ. Αντιθέτως μετά από 12 μέρες που ολοκληρώθηκε η διαμονή μου και δεκάδες μηνύματά μου σε κινητά, στην πλατφόρμα της booking και το viber, ο οικοδεσπότης μου έκανε φραγή κλήσεων. Ακόμα και όταν καλούσα από άλλα τηλεφωνικά νούμερα, και καταλάβαινε ποιά είμαι, έκανε το ίδιο - φραγή! Κάλεσα τα Κεντρικά της Booking.com στο Λονδίνο, και ο υπάλληλος με ενημέρωσε ότι ομοίως είχε πρόβλημα επικοινωνίας με τους οικοδεσπότες αναφορικά με το θέμα της απόδειξης. Επίσης, με συμβουλέψανε να γράψω για τα γεγονότα στην αξιολόγησή μου, ώστε να ενημερωθούν πιθανοί πελάτες και για το λόγο αυτό είμαι αναλυτική. Επιπρόσθετα, μου προτείνανε από την Booking.com να κάνω καταγγελία στους σχετικούς φορείς, όπως η ΑΑΔΕ και ο Συνήγορος του Καταναλωτή.
• harpreet (2/5): - Nothing
• Rawan (8/5): Very good for a solo traveler - The place is in a very good posh area that is full with small restaurants, bakery shops and bars. It was easy to get there from the airport, there is a nearby bus stop and a metro stop that gets u to the city centre. I used to walk from the place to the city centre cuz it's like 20-30mins. The view from the place was very nice The place could have been cleaner
• Fabi (9/5): Good deal to me - - the terrace & and opportunity it presents, to sit outside - bus and metro station are close - communication with the host was smooth until I asked if it's possible to check in a bit earlier than 3pm. I never got a response l. I was offered before to drop my bags at the room from noon and since it was self check in I simply let myself in earlier. - Something to be aware of. There is no fridge.
• Marina (9/5): Everything I expected for one night in Athens. Cute, cozy and quiet - Very cute little apartment and had access to the terrace of the building. Could use a little renovation on the balcony but other than that it was all good!
• Georgia (10/5): - Only problem was the tv was not working it would be nice if it was
• Bethany (6/5): Great location and value for money. Balcony door needs to be fixed to ensure safety - The property had everything I needed, towels, hair dryer, fridge etc. The balcony door does not lock - as a solo female traveller this made me quite uncomfortable. This would be a very cheap and easy fix for the owner… There was also a half eaten watermelon rind left in the fridge.
• Kathryn (7/5): - The property is super close to the centre and sites such as the acropolis. There are a supermarket just opposite the apartment. You also get a really good view of the city from the balcony. The facilities are a bit outdated. The cupboard draws are off their hinges, and I don’t think the balcony door locks.
• Nattee (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ronny (9/5): Excellent value for money - Nice apartment in a perfect location The infrastructure can be improved
• Selene (7/5): Good -
• Ani (7/5): Good value. Good location. Nice view from the balcony. But needs some renovation. - Good location. Nice view from the balcony. Good value. Needs some renovation
• Ani (8/5): Good location, good value. The view from the balcony is nice. - The location is very good, the view from the balcony. The bed is comfortable. The facilities were not so new. It needs some renovation.
• Ronny (9/5): Lovely apartment in a perfect location - Great value for money. Perfect location. Communication with the owners was difficult. I did not get instructions for checking in and entering the apartment was challenging. One I was able to enter it was perfect.
• Marina (9/5): Superb -
• Srdjan (9/5): Superb - Everything was good,location was perfect ,view was perfect Dont have glass door on shower
• Zaf (8/5): Great location and amazing value for money! - Check-in was clearly stated to start at 15:00, but to his credit, the host kindly reached out and offered to let me drop off my bags earlier, which was a thoughtful gesture. Communication with him was easy and prompt. The location was excellent and felt completely safe, just next to the city center. There’s a metro stop very close by, but if you enjoy walking, you’re only about 15 minutes on foot from the heart of the city. For the price, this place is absolutely value for money—I doubt you’ll find anything similar in this area at this rate. To make the apartment truly perfect, I think a few small details could be improved—perhaps a minor renovation and a bit more attention to cleanliness. Other than that, everything was great.
• Anastasia (7/5): Good -
• Stef (6/5): Pleasant -
• Αναstasia (1/5): Disappointing and unsafe - The location was good and had mini markets near by. The room was filthy, piled up dust everywhere and stuff from previous people were left there. The bed sheets and towels had holes in them and lamps,cupboard were broken. Rust, limescale on the shower head and dirty kitchen utensils. Pillows were yellow and the spare ones as well and no extra linen was provided. Light comes through the windows and you can't sleep in the morning. I found a sleeping mask behind the bed from a previous tenant so I am assuming it is a known issue. I contacted the landlord on the first day to tell them that a window that was left open would not shut. The windows are poorly installed and the hinges were damaged. He didn't come and I had to sort it by myself. Tv was also not working but again he never replied to my message or come up check. It was so cold as I don't think this is an insulated room but the air condition was full of mold and never cleaned, so i could not use it. Also the light at the door entrance was flickering and I could not see too enter the flat. The flat can only be accessed via lift and in case of an earthquake, fire or electricity outage( more common than you think in Greece), there is no exit as the exit door to the top of the building was locked. It is a shame as all the problems are easily fixed and the view is nice.
• Van (8/5): Very good - Very nice balcony. Great view and comfortable. Need a hook to hang up the shower head
• Christalla (10/5): Exceptional -
• Girskytė (8/5): Peaceful little place with panoramic views with for budget travellers - The location is perfect, I loved that there was a private balcony, very comfortable bed and a tv. Really good views and not noisy There is not a proper kitchen, and some things were not very clean even though it didn’t bother me
• Deb (9/5): awesome Loft - beautiful view and cozy! close to city centre!!
• Panagiotis (2/5): Avoid this apartment, even if it seems value-for-money. Terrible conditions. - Only the location. 1. The apartment is completely neglected: dirty, rusty and mouldy. Unhygienic. Broken cabinets, no hangers, no shower curtain (showering causes a flood) or shower head. Many appliances provided do not work (including the tv). 2. The apartment lacks access by stair. It is in a roof-top, and only accessible via elevator. In case of emergency, the person is trapped in there. It is in the sixth floor in a very old building with an old and small elevator. 3. It is very cold in the winter, and the air-conditioning is insufficient. 4. The owner does not take up time to answer questions and be helpful. Only answers with the bare minimum, and even seems annoyed when contacted.

• Elena (1/5): Would not stay there again - The neighbourhood 1) main issue is that I requested tons of times to send me over check in details through booking and owner refused to do so as he was claiming he could only do it via viber or whats app. I kept explaining I didnt have access to that and I needed him to send it over via booking website messages but he didn’t even care. He kept ignoring my msgs , not picking up his phone and then he missed called so he doesn’t get charged in order for me to call him back!!!! DID NOT even call!!! Then he refused to send them over via booking as I asked. As I was travelling from abroad had to wait 2 hours outside the property to find wifi on my other device and download and update viber in order to get the check in details he sent . UNACCEPTABLE behaviour from these unprofessional people. 2) The flat seemed cleaned but sheets and towels were not for guest use. Seemed like just someone drop off theirs. 3 ) Rusty cupboards, sinks and moldy bathroom 4) There is a school next to it so too much noise from it since very early in the morning .
• Danai (9/5): Superb -
• Agathoklis (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lukas (5/5): OK for a few nights. - The view, the bedroom, effective air-co, having a balcony The balcony and the bathroom are only little maintained. The ceiling in the bathroom was mouldy.
• David (9/5): The Perfect Place to Stay in Athens! - Excellent location with panoramic view of Lycabettus Hill. Clean, comfortable and very reasonably priced with all the necessary facilities.The perfect place for a short stay in Athens! The shower could use a shower curtain. It was difficult to take a shower without causing a flood.
• Pj58 (7/5): Good - Good location in a pleasant, quiet and safe neighbourhood. Room with a view and balcony. Early check-in was agreed by the host. Steep hill to get to the flat. Quite small room, kitchen and bath. Flat need some repairs and facilities need to be upgraded.
• Emmanouil (6/5): Pleasant -
• Marcin (5/5): It's fine for short stay but untill it is renovated, it is not a good place for longer stay - I believe the biggest asset of this place is its location and tarrace. The place really needs a renovation ;/ it looks nice for the first sight but if you look closer you qucikly noticed that most of furnitures are damaged, swollen, and covered in rust. Additionally there was mold in the bathroom. The tarrace also looks very neglected.
• Nur (7/5): Okay for solo traveller - Good location. Up in the hill. I feel safe as a female solo traveller in the area. The view from balcony is nice. The appartement is only good for short stay. Kind of scary that it is only accessible by lift. I wonder if emergency happens what to do.
• Szilvia (7/5): Good - Locasion of the property and the view. Poor communication by whatsapp, broken furnitures, small showerroom, dirt under the bed.
• Michał (8/5): Nothing better for that money - Great value for money, neighbourhood great as well, if you like to walk, you can be at the Acropolis gates in 45 minutes walking pretty slowly. Well, the curtain in the shower is a must be and doors to the fridge (is hidden in a cabin) are broken and this two seems like easy fixes.
• Arina (6/5): Pleasant -
• Azem (8/5): A very good place which can be great with a couple of improvements. For short stays, it's excellent! - I received a call in the middle of the night, which was probably a very short one or I hope it were so. The call was made at 4 am UK time. Not what I expected. However, I also received several photos to guide me to the place and up to the loft including how to get the keys video. The location was very close to Evangelismos metro station. The area was nice. It was a small loft like a studio apartment. Excellent place for a couple or a single person. The view was very nice. I reckon there'll be some amazing sunsets and views in summer. Although the place was small, they had everything from a hair dryer to an iron and plates and cutlery. I definitely recommend this place. The showerhead could have had the holder on the wall, which would have made having a shower a bit easier. Plus, the water spills out. So, I'd recommend a threshold would do a great job of blocking water going into the room. Additionally, there was an iron and I used it. But it leaked a lot of water. So, it took me about 20 min to sort out ironing two t-shirts. It looked like a very good iron but the leak made my t-shirt wet and in summer it would not matter but in winter it does.
• Demetria (10/5): Exceptional -
• Emily (10/5): Exceptional - This was the perfect place to stay. Quite and an excellent location. Better for one person or a very close couple. Just a heads up there is no kitchen, it is not the cleanest, and the shower is broken but useable. I thought it was amazing value for the money and a pleasure to stay there all the same but everyone is different!
• Michael (9/5): Superb -
• Slawomir (8/5): Good value for money, close to the public transport. - The location is handy, close to the metro, easy to find. The view from the room is breathtaking. The bed was comfy, the kitchen well equipped. The shower has not got a curtain, all the water was splashig all over the bathroom. The communication with the landlord was over whatsapp, not everybody likes it.
• Mwamba (7/5): I enjoyed my stay - I loved that it was on the last floor, beautiful view from up there. During the week in the morning the street turns into a market and they sell fresh fruits and vegetables, it gives an authentic experience. It’s nearby the metro station and there is a few museums in proximity. The wifi worked well. There was an aircon. Also had a hair dryer and iron. No microwave, but was equipped with was a kettle, and toaster and fridge. The balcony was not clean at all, I frowned because I didn’t have the time to clean as I was attending a conference and wanted to be able to just come enjoy the view when I’m there. The cupboard in the bathroom is off it’s hinge on one side so is one of the windows in the bedroom. The owner should warn that it’s up a hill when you come from the metro station.
• Haris_ (9/5): Superb -
• Tim (8/5): Very good -
• Nikos (10/5): Exceptional -
• Florent (8/5): Kolonaki apt with big terrasse - Good location clean top floor appartient with nice big balcony. Some cupboards are broken. Some lights too.
• Lea (10/5): Perfect - The host was great !
• Thalia (6/5): Pleasant Stay for its cost - Location, Value for money Could be more clean
• Romain (7/5): Good - The price Few cabinets were broken and the light was not working. It just needs some more love before being offered to guests. But price was more than reasonable
• Jackson (4/5): Disappointing -
