Guest Reviews
- Filip (10/5): Superleuk appartement met ruim terras en tuin - Een zeer smaakvol ingericht appartement met een ruim terras en een grote tuin. Alle kook-en badbenodigdheden zijn aanwezig. Heel rustig ook. Leuke buurt ook. Niets
- Yannick (8/5): - Sehr schön designte Stadtwohnung und der Garten war angenehm ruhig. Wir hatten zunächst Probleme mit der Internetverbindung, aber Artemis hat super geholfen bis alles optimal funktionierte.
- Anne (10/5): just perfect - The bidet sprayer was a nice touch. Bathtub was great. The opening into a beautiful courtyard was wonderful. The neighborhood was mostly quiet, but still had great shops and little parks. Very lovely host as well. I can't think of anything.
- Denise (10/5): Perfect stay! - We had a wonderful stay at this apartment. It’s beautifully designed with great attention to detail, very clean, and feels almost brand new. Everything you could need is provided.
The garden was a real highlight – spacious, private, and something you wouldn’t expect in a big city like Athens.
Communication with the host was excellent, with clear instructions and great recommendations.
We would definitely stay here again. -
- Anne (10/5): - Great location. Very quiet and all necessary equipment. Beds are comfortable. This is a perfect place to stay in a neighbourhood
- Roland (10/5): -
- Triinu (10/5): - Comfortable apartment with possibility to wash clothes, cook your own breakfast and bed with firm (and extra) pillows.
- Μαρθα (10/5): - Ενα πολύ όμορφο και χρηστικό σπίτι. Έχει τα πάντα. Η κουζίνα είναι πλήρως εξοπλισμένη. Όλα είναι καινούργια στο σπίτι. Νιώθεις σα στο σπίτι σου! Η Αρτέμης πολύ γλυκιά και εξυπηρετική. Θα ξαναπάμε σίγουρα!!!
- Emil (10/5): Lovely apartment for wonderful stay in Athens. My favorite. - We've had a wonderful time during the Athens Marathon this year. The apartment is convenient, pleasant, fully equipped with everything you need, modern, with style and beautiful garden. The location and quiet neighborhood is advance.
- Günter (10/5): Perfekt für den Stadtbesuch wenn man es ein wenig ruhiger habe möchte! - Gutes Appartement für 2+ Personen. Die Lage ist sehr gut, wenn man nicht direkt im Zentrum des Geschehens sein will. Super ruhiges Haus in ruhiger Umgebung. Alles (Zentrum) ist in 15 Minuten+ erreichbar (zu Fuß). Der kleine Platz Varnava gibt es Gelegenheit zum Einkaufen und Restaurants und Park zum Abhängen - toll! Balkon und Garten geben Ruhe und Schatten. Die Unterkunft selbst ist gut ausgerüstet mit allem! was man braucht, liebevoll ausgestaltet und perfekt im Schuss! Kann ich/wir nur empfehlen. efcharisto poli. Leider ist das mit der Mülltrennung schwer, ohne dass der Vermieter etwas dafür kann. Schade.
- Roxana (10/5): A true gem — peaceful, cozy, and exceptionally welcoming - Wow, what a gem of an apartment! Cozy, comfortable, and instantly felt like home. I loved that all the windows faced the peaceful inner courtyard — it was so quiet, and I slept wonderfully. Just a 20-minute walk from the hustle and bustle — close enough to everything, yet peacefully tucked away.
The décor was lovely, and the apartment had everything we needed. The TVs were great, and we actually enjoyed spending time indoors watching our favorite shows.
Artemis was an exceptional host — gracious, responsive, and so easy to communicate with. A perfect place to rest and recharge!
- Mario (10/5): Un joli appartement bien situé à Athènes - Endroit calme et bien situé. Apparament propre et équipé. WiFi ne marchait pas très bien
- Taplizki (9/5): -
- Tetyana (10/5): - Nicely designed and in a nice location. Clean, big, modern and well equipped apartment with a bathtub and a shower (make sure to turn on hot water in adavance). Lovely garden, but be aware of mosquitoes.
Not a loud area, close to the Panathenaic Stadium and to Varnava Sq. with excellent cafes, bakery, restaurants.
Easy and clear communication with the host.
Would definately stay again.
- Jeremy (10/5): Decor a ten - Loved the decor. The landlady Artemis was very helpful. Really central for so many places too. Everything good
- Doris (9/5): Ein Traum in bester Lage, jedoch nur ohne Auto - Die Lage ist top, gleich neben dem Olympiastadion. Durch den Landesgarten und man ist in der Innenstadt. Die Wohnung ist leicht zu finden, die Schlüsselübergabe top erklärt. Die Wohnung liegt im 1. Stock und ist über einen Lift oder Treppen zu erreichen und ist eine absolute Ruheoase, selbst der Garten, der nicht von der Straße einsehbar ist. Sämtliche Zimmer sehr geräumig, sehr sauber und top eingerichtet. Das große Bett ist etwas erhöht und hat sehr bequeme Matratzen. Das Badezimmer hat eine Wanne, die Dusche bei der die Farbe des Lichts wählbar ist, ist über das SZ begehbar und hat eine Ventilation. In der Küche ist alles vorhanden! Im SZ und im WZ befindet sich je eine Klimaanlage, die sehr gut kühlen. Weiters hat man eine große Terrasse und den Garten allein zur Verfügung. Einzig die Parkplatzsuche ist eine Katastrophe. Einen Parkplatz zu finden, gleicht einen Lottosechser, egal zu welcher Tageszeit!

- Carolina (10/5): Great - We loved our stay! The place was charming, spotless, and very comfortable.Our host was also fantastic — she was incredibly welcoming, flexible with our check-in. We had issues with the hot water in the shower
- Nebojsa (10/5): All praises! - All praises... charming and well-equipped apartment very friendly Artemis (who met us and allowed us a very early check in. We liked the lively Varnava square with its small cafes and taverns.
- Zara (10/5): Best apartment we’ve ever stayed in … exceptionally clean, very quiet and peaceful with good facilities. Host was extre - Best apartment we’ve ever stayed in … exceptionally clean, very quiet and peaceful with good facilities Nothing
- Gerardus (9/5): Really great appartement close to the city but you do not hear the city - Very close to the city center Difficult to park the rental car
Difficult to open the key box (a black switch on the front should be slided down. Als difficult to find the exact appartement (its in a building on the first Floor but no Numbers are mentioned)
- Suzanne (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location. The apartment was really spacious and comfortable. There was everything you needed. Super comfortable bed. Highly recommend it. Nothing.
- Dorit (10/5): A beautiful and comfortable apartment, with a gaden. Perfect for a couple . - Beautiful design, very thoughtful little details . Quiet neighbourhood, nice coffee shops and a supermarket nearby. Artemis the host was very communicative and helpful!
- Afroditi (8/5): We had a very comfortable stay! - The house was super comfortable, in a very nice location. The decoration was also very tasteful and the host made efficient use of the space. The communication with the owner also spotless, she was replying immediately and she was accomodating. The house also was very well equipped, so we had a very comfortable stay (we stayed 9 nights) the wi-fi was quite bad. Sometimes it was not working and in some websites it was not working at all (for example goodreads).
the house was super humid. Especially the bedroom, because the shower is there. We had to use the dehumadifier a lot and kept empting it every day.
- Gabrielsolomon (10/5): Exceptional -
- Douglas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Doron (10/5): Great place ', Great location very quite. Thank you!! - The apartment well decorated. The owner was very helpful information. location is great easy to reach all the town. The kitchen is with all you need. If we will be back to Athene we will book again
- Ilze (8/5): Very good - Small street near Plaka. Less or more..clean. comunication with owner by whats app ONLY. She gave very quick all answers .best restorant adress. Good qualty of bed and pillow. Good air co. Good parking suggestion. It was nice...quite place. Nice decors in room. I didnt like massage in check out day.. about to clean a sink .( we didnt use kitchen)
First . For good cleaning must be proffessional equipment. If you have early departure in morning..compleatly in dark and 3 laguages....therefore it was not easy to bring down bag of our 1 bag of waste.(..in our case just bag with plastic boutles and papper). I suggest to clean sink and kitchen equipment from your side before quests coming. Also i didnt touch plastic glass from bathroom, because it was dirty :( Please change a door handle from wc. My husband stuck in wc. The rest was ok.
- Gabriel (10/5): A wonderful stay in Athens - We loved staying in this beautiful place in Athens. The apartment is spotlessly clean, air conditioning works wonderfully, the garden is beautiful and all the facilities helped us have a great stay. On top of this, the location is great, a short walk from the city center and all main attractions. Best of all was Artemis’ kindness and ease of communication. We will come back! Nothing to say here.
- Venkataramu (9/5): Great apartment in Athens - Everything was excellent with the apartment. The host was always available (even at 3am) and extremely helpful. We spent comfortable 4 days in the apartment. Only one thing. The ac in the bedroom was not working or we didn't know how to turn it on.. more likely the latter :). However, the ac in the living was good enough to cool the entire apartment.
- Road (9/5): Good loaction and great host - Great staff, responsive amd courteous. Good value for the facilities and great location Loved everything.
- Nore (10/5): An absolutely amazing experience! - Everything was on point. Artemis was the most incredible host I ever had the chance to meet. She was ready to help us with every request. The property on the other hand was very cozy and had the right space for our needs. It was clean, and comfortable, and had all the necessary kitchen and bathroom appliances. Walking there from the city center (around a 30-minute walk) wasn't very flat, but it wasn't a big issue for us. A highly recommended apartment! Keep in mind that they have issues with toilets in Athens, so make sure never to throw toilet paper on the toilet or it will block.
- Alan (9/5): About 200m straight up the street is a pleasant little square that has restaurants, bakeries, drug store and other stor - Very quiet street and extremely secure. Decorated very nicely and has everything that you would need to stay there. The little garden is a nice place to sit with morning coffee. Could use brighter lighting when shutters are closed.
- Jules (10/5): Exceptional - hospitable and helpful!
- Mihai-eugen (10/5): Thanks Secret Garden! - My rating for this location is maximum.
This apartment covers the requirements of the most demanding tourists. Apartment exactly as in the pictures, with facilities that will surprise you, modern apartment, fully equipped kitchen, very comfortable bed and the privacy of the terrace with the garden is fabulous!
Mrs Artemis very attentive to all our needs.
Close to restaurants and grocery stores.
Quick and easy access to tourist attractions.
Wi fi is very fast, free and safe parking space.
I recommend with confidence.❤ All it was fabulous!
- Pedro (9/5): Superb -
- Jan (10/5): Sweet dream - Everything more than perfect.
- Xiao (10/5): Cosy apartment in a quiet neighbourhood! - It's a really lovely apartment in a quiet neighbourhood that felt incredibly safe to walk around at all hours! I had no idea until the last day but there's actually a few Michelin star restaurants a few mins walk away so something to consider if you want to treat yourself!
The apartment itself is cosy with a large garden, so you can have a coffee out there and relax. Kitchen has all the amenities so you can cook if you'd like. Two of us stayed for five days and never felt too cramped. And Artemis is so helpful and kind! Nothing really! Would only say it's a bit hilly around the area so if you have a lot of/heavy luggage coming from the airport consider ordering a cab (which Artemis kindly offered to arrange for us!)
- Paula (10/5): outstanding - Everything, the host is amazing, really attentive and meet all expectations.
The location is super clean, beautifull and quiet.
The neighborhood is walking distance to a lot of good restaurants and sights.
- Riccardo (10/5): Great staff !!!! Great communication. Good coffee. Washer /Dryer worked great. - Staff communication was excellent. They were a great help. Early check-in arranged since the apartment was available.
- Eleni (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jamie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Milena (8/5): Very good - Excellent location and the apartment is clean. There are no closets, so for a family or for 4 adults with suitcases on the floor, it is too tight.
- Kalantzis (9/5): Superb -
- Veronica (10/5): Meraviglioso :) - Beautiful apartment and in a convenient location for the center. The area is pleasant and frequented by young Greeks. Artemis, the owner, was amazing. She helped me to reach the structure thanks to a driver, who was also nice and helpful, they gave me advice for visiting the city.
All very welcoming. I found jazz music with soft light and I enjoyed the garden to relax after the day of walking. Let's just say the bed was so comfortable that it was a shame to go out in the morning :). I recommend this apartment!!
- Pavic (9/5): Quiet, cosy place, perfectly equipped, with very dedicated and highly responsive host! Netflix avali - Netflix and Youtube available on TV, big flat screen!
- Kimberly (9/5): Cool apartment! - Beautiful apartment, interesting design. Kitchen supplies everything you need. Shower in the bedroom, bath and toilet in the bathroom. Restaurants/Cafes in the area. Artemis provided recommendations for sightseeing and bars, restaurants, cafes. No parking included, even though it said so on booking.
- Neil (9/5): Superb - Host very helpful and friendly 🙂

Moreover you can find some of the most hip and trendy bars and restaurants just within walking distance of the apartment.
- Mari (10/5): Very beautiful ! - We visited Secret Garden for a long weekend and we really enjoyed every minute of it! Having coffee in the garden has been one of the most amazing experiences of our visit. The house has everything you might need and more. Very well designed, quiet and clean. Walking around this area has been a really wonderful experience. Just 10 minutes walk from the center of Athens!
