Guest Reviews
- shawn (7/5): It’s very hot in the summer months so ask about the air conditioners - Good location for walking, eating, sights The air conditioning was much lacking for July weather. Upon arrival, the units were not on so it was stifling and took @ least 24 hrs to somewhat cool down. I did contact the owner to which he said he will “try” to get someone out to no avail. We moved mattresses into the 2 rooms that were coolest . We did enjoy the rooftop morning & after dark.
We did love the authenticity of the apartment..
- Royee (8/5): - מיקום מטורף, בסהכ דירה מסודרת ונקייה. לא ניקו במהלך השהות, לא הוחלפו מגבות.
- Nir (3/5): Avoid in any possible way - To upset to tell Owner is not communicative
Owner doesn’t come back to SMS WhatsApp or voice calls .
Owner doesn’t show any flexibility, which is a big issue.
The apartment is old and has zero style…
I didn’t like at all the idea that the toilet is in the kitchen and the other shower is on the terrace up on the roof .. this is outrageous and I was not aware of that…
Location entrance was dirty and stink
- Boiman (8/5): Really beautiful property in a great location with a weird structure of the bathrooms. - Really beautiful property in a great location. The structure of the bathrooms is weird. Not a goos fit for young kids. Also, the main bathroom is kind of in the kitchen without a good separation for odors.
- Jamil (9/5): Overall we made a good choice with this apartment. Will definitely consider visiting it again! - Very well located apartment in the center of Athens, easy to get everywhere around. The apartment is spacious and fits a group of people easily and it has everything you need. We enjoyed it very much! thAir conditioning was not working properly in 2 rooms. The dishwasher did not work. The upper shower is difficult to use since it is very small
- Erika (9/5): Superb -
- M (7/5): Great location with large well appointed rooms, but with very odd bathroom facilities. - A much clearer explanation in the listing is required, indicating that -
(I) One bathroom is basically a shower room carved out of the original kitchen and separated by an opaque glass door!
(II)The second bathroom (bigger and better) is up a steep narrow staircase, then you have to go outside across a roof terrace to reach it!
- Constantinos (9/5): Superb -
- Teagle (9/5): Superb - It was just minutes from the Monastiraki Square and a short walk to the Acropolis. Loads of wonderful restaurants and cafes nearby to choose from.
The apartment was well set up and very comfortable for us. We very much enjoyed our stay there and it was a perfect place for our family to meet up from different parts of the globe. Thank you for sharing your house with us! We had problems getting on to the wifi which didn't seem to extend throughout the house. We left it too late to ask the friendly friend for.help so went out for dinner and didn't worry about it.
- Lea (4/5): Disappointing - It was very interesting and decorated nicely. It was very oddly built but cute. Very clean.
Good location It was very oddly built and shaped, although I recognize that it is old. It was very clean. Not good shelf or closet space though.
We had three problems which we did not receive help or final communication from the owner on the major problems. First, the Wi-Fi does not work in the entire place. Only works in one of the rooms. Second bathroom, which is up a scary flight of stairs Was inaccessible for us as was the top roof level because we could not get the door open. And the power went out the last morning of our stay so we could not cook breakfast, make coffee, take showers or use Wi-Fi. The owners were out of town, but they should have had somebody on the ready to help. They did not respond to the last problem at all This is unacceptable and I have escalated the problem to booking.com company.
- Jozef (7/5): Acceptable - The location, the number of beds. The location, I mean the street is very busy and loud. The house should be behind the corner 🙂
One of the bedrooms has no windows, the other two has window to the busy street.
There were 2 bathrooms, both of them were insufficient. The main bathroom is in the kitchen, the other upstairs on the rooftop has the smallest shower cabinet I’ve ever seen.
- Olivier (7/5): Good -
- D (8/5): Great value for you money - The location is amazing, and the apartment is huge.
Great value for your money. There was just a solitary key capable of unlocking either of the doors, while the Wi-Fi suffered from poor signal strength and quality. Additionally, the windows failed to shut completely, and the main door's window latch was deteriorating. Amidst these issues, there was confusion regarding the proper disposal location for trash.
- Rico (9/5): Wonderful staff, wonderful large apartment, great location. - Great for families. Amazing location. Good quick food nearby if you don’t want to sit at a restaurant. Street noise can be loud at night but that’s expected when staying at the heart of downtown. It didn’t bother us and I wouldn’t let it discourage you.
- Natalie (10/5): Excellent location, ideal for Athens Marathon - The host was very helpful and accommodating. The apartment was very cozy with double height ceiling, making it extra spacious. Perfect for families or friends traveling together.
- Govind (9/5): Superb -
- Beata (8/5): Very good - Very spacious. Super comfy beds. Great location - walking distance to all the major attractions and a variety of restaurants/bars. It’s quite loud (street noise) in some of the rooms, even at night. It was not a problem for us, though I guess some of the guests might find it disturbing. Small major bathroom. The second one does not have a comfy access.
- Leonie (8/5): Very spacious apartment close to all the attractions. Would highly recommend for a family group. - It was very spacious and was in walking distance to most of the attractions. The upstairs/outside bathroom was fine for us but could be difficult for older people to navigate safely.
- Elliora (9/5): Atmospheric apartment in the heart of monastiraki - The place was very central, large apartment, well air conditioned and felt safe. Loud neighborhood, but was expected We only got one key, it was a problem at times, because we were 2 couples. Main bathroom didn’t have great privacy ( but I would definitely stay there again)
- Alex (10/5): Exceptional - Dimitra and her family were wonderful and very accommodating. Answered all our questions without hesitation. Very responsive to our needs. I'm planning to book the arcade again! Not a thing!
- Matteo (10/5): Wonderful and relaxing stay - Stunning inside
Well-appointed
Felt very homey
Fantastic a/c in dining room
Nice rooftop patio and 2nd bathroom with washer
Easy access to area attractions
Friendly and helpful neighbor (business) No a/c in 3rd bedroom
A/C in bedroom next to dining room didn't cool room very well (high ceiling)
Oven alarm went off repeatedly in the middle of the night; couldn't seem to cancel or reset it (user error?)
- Mary (10/5): Great would stay again. - One street away from the main square of Monastiraki, close to shops and restaurants and private - nothing would compare. Taking luggage up the stairs.
- Simela (10/5): Exceptional - The photos are not nearly enough to capture the beauty and energy of this place! I can not wait to stay here again.
The hosts are so accommodating and a pleasure to speak with
Truly a place in Athens like.no other.
So.clean with all the amenities you need.
Location is amazing.
Houae is so spacious.
Thankyou to the wonderful.hosts That our time there ran out!

- Elizabeth (10/5): elegant flat in the heart of Athens - highly reccomend. - absolutely beautiful! the beds are so comfortable, such a lovely and spacious flat, well stocked with everything you might need. the location can't be beat if you're a tourist hoping to see the Athens sites by foot. it was a little noisy in the room closest to the street but really wasn't an issue for us.
- Phillip (8/5): Happy overall - Location excellent
- Things (8/5): Lovely apartment in superb location - Excellent location. Well equipped accommodation, with everything we needed for a week long stay. Beautiful old property in a very busy part of the town, lots of restaurants, cafes and shops around.
Very comfortable beds!
The host was very helpful and quick to respond to our messages. Like with any property with such an excellent central location, the area is very noisy, day and night. There was some loud construction work next door, starting from 6am or earlier. The host supplied some earplugs ,which was helpful but the noise was disruptive to sleep.
- Hamed (4/5): Disappointing -
- Victoria (8/5): Very good - Perfect location. Clean The second bathroom was out of the apartment. It wasnt metioned anywhere.
1 bedroom was without air-conditioning
- Vida (9/5): Superb - Only 1 bathroom isn`t enough for bigger group of people.
- Nayia (10/5): Exceptional - Everything were perfect!! Despoina is a great hostess. Flat is located in the heart of Athens 2min.walk from Ermou Str.
highly recommended!!
- Natalie (10/5): Exceptional - Spacious beautifully designed apartment, wooden floors, high ceilings, very special. All equipment, bed linens, towels etc are new and very comfortable. The host was exceptionally welcoming and helpful. Location is great, walking distance to everything, neighborhood is a bit noisy in the evenings but we did not mind. Very happy to recommend and return to this place.. We loved the place. It was above our expectations
