Guest Reviews
- Alexander (3/5): Incongruence between great location and Mickey Mouse hot water arrangement - Location was excellent and very central. Self check in was easy. Fit out was modern. Hot water issue. You had to manually switch it on half an hour before use and turn it off again, or it would leak all over the floor. No one told us this prior. You can see water damage as a result.
- 恵理也 (1/5): Scam - Absolutely horrible service. I was told the room was out of order and I couldn’t stay, after I had already reserved and paid. Then they started pushing me into staying at another apartment they owned, far from where we intended to stay. I told them to cancel the reservation, as we would find another accommodation, but they would not cancel it. My messages sent from then on were all ignored, and after a few days I had to contact Booking.com to manually cancel the reservation. Closest thing to a scam I’ve experienced through Booking.com. I hope everyone reads the reviews before reserving this place.
- Heike (6/5): Not sure that I’d go back - Great location
Very quiet It’s downstairs-there’s no light switch as you descend into the darkness
Hot water system leaks out of the cupboard-very unsafe
Hot water taps are not labeled correctly-also very unsafe as water comes out boiling
There are no instructions on how to turn the hot water system on-nor where
The people owning or running it where very rude and condescending when the apartment got flooded during a crazy downpour and simply told me that the apartment doesn’t flood (while I stood in 2inches of water)
NO help was offered nor was there any enquiring wether I and/or was safe
I had to really push for someone to come and clean up
- Mary-ann (6/5): A nicely decorated apartment in a reasonable location for exploring central Athens - Nicely decorated & clean It was a bit noisy
- Rio (10/5): Exceptional -
- Neofytos (2/5): Very poor - the apartment located in the basement of the building, the smell of mould and dirtiness is everywhere. To manage my stay in the apartment i went to the nearest shop to buy air freshner. I cant discribe my stay in this place
- Diamantina (1/5): Bad -
- Athanasios (1/5): Awful - Location Smelly humid basement without any closet and a lot of broken things (plugs, tv channels not working, window blinds etc)
- Kunal (2/5): Very poor - Location is great Bathroom is licking and water comes to bedroom. Also it says garden view but it is basement unit
- Marina (9/5): Apartment with excellent location near Acropolis - The apartment's location in Plaka is excellent, very close to Acropolis, Panathenaic stadium, Arch of Hadrian and also walking distance from Agora etc. Apartment itself is small but nice, perfect for a few days of stay for solo traveler or a couple. Check-in could've been better! It was easy to find the lock with the key inside, however, the host didn't provide information about the number of the apartment or floor, meaning that I had to walk-up and down the whole building trying to see in which door did the key fit it. It was also late and nobody answered on the contact number provided. Plz note that the apartment is in the basement.
- Richard (1/5): If we had not paid in advance we would not have stayed there - disgusting place. - Nice new unit. Very modern finishing's and furniture. Great central location. Nice kettle. 1. The unit smelt very bad. A mixture of sewerage and stagnant water. It was unbearable with the windows closed. It was so bad that we didn't want to stay in the unit other than to sleep. If we didn't pay in advance we would have left immediately. Reported bad smell to the host and go no response. 2. No garden view as advertised - it is a basement unit. 3. No hot tub as advertised. 4. No washing machine. 5. No shelving for clothes and one tiny cupboard for hanging clothes. 5. Nowhere to put suitcases. 6. Shower cubicle not waterproof - flooded bathroom and kitchen area every time we showered. 7. No food bowls or side plates. Only 3 x dinner plates. 8. No kitchen knives or cutting board. 9. Nowhere to hand towels. 10. No way of making the bed without pulling it right out of the tiny cubicle it is in - extremely difficult for 1 person and not doable for an elderly woman. 11. Bathroom floor filthy. 12. Dinning table is too high for the chairs supplied - you are eating at chin level.
13. TV is mounted on the dining table - cannot be seen from the TV couch.
