Guest Reviews

• Lisa (10/5): - The apartment was perfect for a family of 5. Plenty of space. Great location where we could walk everywhere. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend
• Bobbe (9/5): Perfect location for all activities - There should be a guest book for instructions. We didn’t see all of posted signs until later. Front steps are 9 without hand rail
• Weilai (10/5): - The apartment worked out great for family of 5. There are a few steps after you enter the apartment, but then everything else is on the same floor. One bedroom has a small bathroom attached to it, the other two bedrooms shares one bathroom next to the kitchen. The location is super convenient, very close to Acropolis Museum and Acropolis south entrance. Plaka neighborhood is nearby also so a lot of good restaurant options. Down the block there are coffee shops and corner stores for quick shopping needs. Metro station isn't far either to go to other sites. There's a washer in the apartment but you need to prepare your own laundry detergent-wish the host could provide it going forward as it's hard to get small sized detergent for just maybe 1-2 washes. Overall, we are happy with the stay and would highly recommend it.
• Amanda (10/5): - Wonderful location and attentive hosts.
• Jesus (10/5): MUY RECOMENDABLE, UN DIEZ. - La ubicacion es fantástica, a escasos metros de la Acropolis y un paseo muy agradable de los principales puntos de interes. Situado en una calle tranquila y sin apenas ruidos ni trafico. A menos de 5 minutos andando hay un supermercado y a 2 minutos hay también varias tiendas que venden de todo. El alojamiento es perfecto para familias o varias parejas. Cuenta con 3 habitaciones amplias, con camas comodas y de buen tamaño, cuentan con Tv en todas ellas. Hay 2 baños, uno de ellos bastante amplio y otro que está dentro de una de las habitaciones, algo más pequeño pero muy funcional. La cocina amplia, completa y muy bien equipada con todo tipo de menaje. (tostador, cafetera de capsula, filtro e italiana, sartenes, cazos, sandwichera, etc, etc..) El salón espacioso y con un sofa grande y muy comodo. También cuenta con una pequeña terraza en el patio interior con una mesa y unas sillas para fumadores, a esta se accede desde la cocina. Asi mismo indicar que todas las estancias cuentan con Aire Acondicionado para verano. Nosotros fuimos 6 (2 adultos y 4 niñas-adolescentes) en marzo y nos pillaron unos días de frío con temperaturas de entre 6 y10 grados, y he de decir que la casa es super calentita y agradable para esos días de frio ya que los radiadores son de hierro forjado y el calor que emiten es maravilloso. La verdad que fue todo un verdadero acierto alojarnos durante 4 noches este lugar. Sin duda muy muy muy recomendable.
• Jana (8/5): Poloha apartmánu je vynikajúca. - Lokalita bola vynikajúca, pobyt sme si veľmi užili. Blízkosť potravín, pekárne, zmrzlinárne a plno reštaurácií v okolí. Technické problémy v apartmáne, vypadnuté okno, tečúca klíma, len jedny kľúče, zima v apartmáne, málo kuchynského vybavenia, málo denného svetla v apartmáne, doplácanie za extra perinu nakoľko na manželských lôžkach je len jedna veľká perina. Riešenie problémov v apartmáne len v čase 9:00 - 16:00 keď už sme tam neboli.
• Mario (9/5): -
• Maru (10/5): nos encanto el hospedaje! - Todo fue espectacular! el espacio super cómodo, cálido y limpio. Una especie de casa cerca de PLAKA. Cerca de muchos lugares para comer, y de grandes barrios de Atenas. Cerca de acropolis y del museo. Zona segura, ideal para viajar con familia o amigos. Volveríamos definitivamente! -
• Bibiana (10/5): -
• asmaa (10/5): - Touttt L'appartement, l'équipement, l'emplacement, location Rien
• Sharron (10/5): - Location is amazing. Very comfortable for a family
• Joanna and Krzysztof (10/5): Bardzo dobra lokalizacja, śliczne mieszkanie, bardzo polecam. -
• Kadda (8/5): -
• Joanna (9/5): -
• Michael (7/5): Schöne Unterkunft mit toller Lage aber sehr beengten Räumen - Lage ist absolut genial Die drei Schlafräume sind sehr beengt. Entweder es gibt keinen Schrank oder nur Schrank ohne Regalbretter. Selbst aus dem Koffer kann man nur leben, wenn man den Koffer im Gang oder Gemeinschaftsraum ablegt, da im Zimmer zu wenig Platz.
• merve (1/5): Unsafe and Unhygienic Stay - Location Our experience at this property was extremely disappointing. On arrival, the apartment was dirty, with blood stains on the sheets, an unhygienic bathroom, and cockroaches in the kitchen. The first night was unbearable, as we had to sleep in these conditions after a long trip. The next day, cleaning was delayed, and even by the afternoon the cleaner had not finished. On the following day, a water leak appeared right next to an electrical outlet, which posed a serious safety hazard. Although the listing showed a fire extinguisher as an amenity, there was none in the apartment. Overall, the property did not meet basic hygiene or safety standards, and our stay was stressful and unpleasant. The photo was taken immediately upon our arrival and clearly shows the condition left by the previous guests. If they were also charged an €80 cleaning fee, then payment was taken for a service that was never actually provided. I hope that I will forget all the negative aspects of this trip as soon as possible.
• Don (8/5): Lovely apartment in a great location. The level of service needs to improve. - Fabulous location near the Acropolis and lovely cafes Very clean apartment Large bedrooms Outdoor terrace Washing machine Nice kitchen but short on utensils The service was disappointing. We had arranged an agreed early check-in over multiple messages three weeks in advance. On the day, we arrived at the agreed time and the apartment was not ready. In the end, we actually checked in 90 min later, being 30 min after the standard check in time. Before checking out, we requested late check out and were bluntly refused, despite the earlier mess. Other concerns included - the safe was broken and had to be serviced - no extra towels or room service were offered for the week of our stay - kitchen utensils were light on, not enough to prepare a meal
• Kristen (10/5): - Cannot beat the location! It was a lovely stay for our family of 6 (4 adults & 2 kids). We booked an early morning tour for the Acropolis so wanted to be close and you're about a 5 minute walk. Also a wonderful restaurant 50 feet away where we enjoyed breakfast. Highly recommend !
• Burduja (6/5): -
• GIUN (10/5): - Location was just perfect to go out to see acropolis and all the other archaelogical sites. The beds were super comfortable and all the rooms were equipped with air conditioning and tv so it was super relaxing for the three of us to go into each room and chill after a long day of tour. There was a convenience store right next to the place so we could grab some late night snacks as well. All in all, a memorable stay to wrap up our Greek adventure. Nothing
• Giada (6/5): Ottima struttura, in punto strategicico - Le stanze accoglienti, e con tutto il necessario per la permanenza. Abbiamo trovato porte rotte, serrature che nn si chiudevano, bisognerebbe avere attenzione anche per qudstiparticolari
• Natalia (8/5): Great location in Athens, would rent it again - Excellent location, very good communication with the host, reasonably good accommodation for our 2 families. We didn't cook, so can't comment on the kitchen appliances The washing machine stained my clothes, and I was not able to get rid of those stains after a few washes with bleach. The bathroom may use some more hooks on the walls
• Steven Mrmacovski (10/5): A family gem close to the Parthenon. - The accommodation was located very close to the Parthenon. It was also close to amenties, supermarkets and restaurants. The host (Marina) was also available for any concerns or questions we had about the property. It was very tidy, clean and spacious for a family of 5 (4A + IC). We liked it as it only had a few steps at the front door. Nothing to report.
• Christofi (10/5): Πολύ όμορφη εμπειρία - Πολύ καλή τοποθεσία, καθαρός χώρος κ πολύ προσεγμένος με γούστο. Νιώσαμε πολύ οικεία κ ζεστά.
• Richard (9/5): Wonderful spot near the acropolis and every amenity. - Location and decor. Shower head was loose.
• Rene (10/5): Exceptional - Best location, great communication by host
• Nicola (10/5): A lovely traditional appartment, plenty of space and excellent facilities. - Fantastic location, we could walk to almost anywhere. Great for the early morning visit to the Acropolis. Very attractive neighbourhood with good eating options nearby. Plenty of space for a 4 night stay for 6 people. En-suite bathroom quite small.
• Grace (8/5): Loved it and recommend! - Great three bedroom, two bath near the Acropolis! Quiet neighborhood, clean, and they were great with communication! Highly recommend! The air conditioning made a lot of noise making it difficult to sleep
• Alena (9/5): Superb - The accommodation was truly beautiful, large, and just a few minutes' walk from the Acropolis and delicious restaurants. The apartment has 3 large bedrooms, a living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and two bathrooms. However, we only used the apartment for sleeping because our stay was short and our days were full of activities. Whatever we needed, Marina was always great, always available and willing to help us with anything. We had a wonderful time here, and we will definitely return. ❤️
• Brian (9/5): Great location and comfortable apartment. - Great location, comfortable apartment with good spaces. The ensuite was very small and had some mould on the wall/ roof that needs fixing.
• Dishan (10/5): Exceptional - Great location (4 min walk from Acropolis), nice cafes nearby, ground level so easy to enter, warm rooms, warm water, spacious rooms. Pretty good for a group of 6 people. Everything was good, but it fits 6 people. More than that will be a squeeze.
• Kelly (10/5): Great kitchen and laundry facilities and a fantastic location. - This is a lovely 3 bedroom apartment in a fantastic location. Two adults and two teenagers stayed here. Check in instructions were clear and the lock box was easy to operate which was important as we arrived at 1 am and could self check in with no problems. Two keys were provided. You can see the Acropolis from your front door. Place was very clean and the street was quiet as the school was on holidays. The ground floor worked well for us. Host was responsive and helpful when we had questions before our stay. The kitchen was great for breakfast and meals when we didn’t want to eat out. Appreciated having a washer and dryer available in the apartment. Nothing
• Diana (5/5): Passable - Good location The apartment is very cold and the heating system wasn’t working. The A/C takes ages to warm the room.
• Penny (9/5): Superb -
• Cihan (10/5): We had fun lots and i can advice definitely. - It was a great location and so we could walk everywhere in mins and there were many restaurants and cafes close there. Kitchen stuffs were enough and it was very comfortable for 2 families with 2 kids Iron machine wasnt working but the owner of the house brought a new one so quickly.
• Viktor (10/5): Amazing stay in heart if Athens. Definitely 10/10 - Amazing location of the property, you can reach the Acropolis, museum, metro station in less than 5 minutes of walking. Host is awesome, very helpful and available if you need help with anything! Definitely recommend this place, thank you 🙏🏻 Thin walls but nothing that would be too disturbing
• Marios (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rose (9/5): Location. Location. Location! Great spot to tour Athens from - Location! It was close to the Acropolis, Plaka and many shops, restaurants & whatever you needed. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. We would recommend it for the location alone! The hosts were very nice through our communications 👍😊😊 It was across from a school and noisier than we expected… but it wasn’t an issue as we spent our days out at the local attractions.
• Nikoletta (9/5): Nice option under the Acropolis -
• Martha (10/5): Exceptional -
• Thomas (10/5): Good all around experience - Great location, stylish, comfortable, host responsive Minor issue - across from school, so some noise in morning
• Akhtar (8/5): It was indeed a short and sweet stay - Property was 5 min walking distance from the Acropolis and 15 min from the flea market. It was a 3 bedroom with one common bathroom/toilet and one attached tiny bathroom/toilet Kitchen was functional. Nobody came to meet us or see us. Instructions were left on where to find the key and how to open the door. Same during check out. Mariana the host was responsive on whatsapp when required. They had made a hand booklet of restaurants and super markets nearby which was useful. Bedrooms were basic & tiny. Small fixtures like latches etc of all doors were ancient and worn out. The hand held shower in both bathrooms was leaking. They need a new one. Ac’s need maintenance. There is no everyday housekeeping. You have to do the cleaning by yourself and take the trash out if you need too. But overall it’s ok.
• Christine (10/5): Communication brilliant, location was superlative. - Amazing location. Beautifully decorated and great facilities. Would definitely recommend. Nothing. Everything was excellent.
• Xuan (7/5): Great location and facility, dodgy freezer hopefully a once-off issue - Amazing location right at the door step of the acropolis slopes and the museum, with easy access to the metro and buses. All the air conditioning and shower facility worked well. For some reasons when we arrived the entire freezer compartment of the fridge was fully frozen over with lots of ice on the fridge wall and door; i had to spend some 15 minutes hacking away at the ice before we could get the freezer door to close. To their credit, the manager volunteered to send someone to deal with it immediately when we informed them, though we refused as by then we had already hacked away most of the ice.
• Aleksandra (9/5): Very nice appartment perfect location. -
• Xiaowen (8/5): Very good -
• Bluesky-377 (10/5): Perfect and quiet place in Athens - Perfect place, very nice apartment, quiet and very well located. Perfect host. Fully recommended
• Thomas (8/5): Very good - Awesome location. Super close to acropolis. (Don’t expect views. This is first floor unit) But very quiet. Easy to get into. Great communication from host. Air conditioning in front rooms wasn’t strong enough. Back bedrooms were fine. But front rooms had standalone floor air conditioner units which kept the room from getting hot but didn’t make it cool enough. Not a dealbreaker but wish they were as efficient at the back bedrooms.
• Mehwish (10/5): It was a good experience. I am happy with the choice. - Cleanliness, location and privacy. Nothing really!
• Lorraine (9/5): Superb - This is an incredible place to stay in Athens. So convenient to the Akropolis and Akropolis Museum. An easy walk. The place itself is very comfortable. In fact, this was some of the best nights' sleep I have gotten in years. Not sure that I can continue to fly thousands of miles just to get a good nights' sleep, but certainly worth noting...:-)) The host was incredible. Very responsive and helpful. Helped us to arrange two sets of shuttles. Answered every and any question immediately. I would definitely stay here again and would certainly recommend to others!
• Catherine (10/5): Superb accommodation in central location - Central location in a lovely area of the city. It felt very safe and was completely quiet. Extremely close to the acropolis, the underground and restaurants, and there was a supermarket 2 doors down. Good sized rooms, comfy beds, air conditioning, lovely showers. Nothing!
• Spencer (10/5): Exceptional -
• Fatima (10/5): Exceptional - Specious, clean and the location is amazing
• Donna (10/5): Lovely place to call home base. - The apartment was well set up for 4 adults. Beds and rooms were comfortable. We liked the location.. walking distance to the Plaka, museum, restaurants and mini markets. Checkin was easy. It was a bit difficult to reach the host when we had a question about airport transfers, but that was not a problem for us. Great value for a very nice stay. We liked it all
• Abbey (10/5): Exceptional - Spacious and clean property. Beautifully furnished with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Acropolis entrance at the end of the street! Plaka 5 minute walk, all areas accessed within 15 minutes on foot. Mini market 1 minute away, as well as lovely cafes and restaurants all nearby. Perfect place to stay in Athens
• Sally (10/5): Exceptional -
• Niquana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Thomas (10/5): Beautiful cozy apartment. Great for families. - Great Location. Close to the Acropolis entrance and Acropolis Museum. Quiet area but close enough to restaurants and shops that everything was in walking distance. Loved the style and vibe of the apartment. It was the perfect size for myself, my wife, and my 2 teenagers. The kitchen made it convenient for having breakfast before starting our day. There’s a market nearby too for essentials. Had some questions around HVAC and Maria was quite to respond to any questions or concerns we had. I’d definitely stay here again with my family on another visit.
• Mariam (9/5): Superb - The best Location. Everything was OK. The best host. Contact was very easy and convenient. She approved the early check in and many thanks to her again.
• Clark (10/5): Incredible place, incredible location, easy in-and-out. - The location was INCREDIBLE- a block from the Acropolis and Parthenon, in a nice neighborhood, and very ecentral to everything! The facilities were fantastic- three bedrooms, a kitchen, two bathrooms, and a living area along with a washing machine which was really great. A little more soap for the showers, and conditioner for our hair. A drying rack for clothing would have been great too.
• Michelle (7/5): Good -
• Wee (9/5): Superb - Good location. Well equipped kitchen. Very clean Nil
• Sumbul (8/5): Great location, close to major attractions and other parts of Athens. - Comfy beds, very clean, lots of kitchen items and lots of space to spread out. Extremely easy access to Acropolis and Museum as well as lots of other ancient sites. Good location to local restaurants and stores. Bedding and towels smelled musty (from not drying enough after washing). Tiles in entry way and kitchen were completely broken or loose and could pose serious tripping hazard or injury.
• Margaret (9/5): The apartment was very convenient for our purposes in visiting Athens. - Wonderful location. Easy access to Acropolis and other sights. The front bedroom that had the attached bath was only convenient for use by one person because of the position of the air conditioner.
• Ben (7/5): Nice location and nice apartment for a short stay - Location is near acropolis train station so it is very central, the apartment was clean, wifi worked well Check in process was confusing as there were two apartments next to each other on the same address ( Acropolis moments & Acropolis memories) - and it was misleading because the actual apartment is the “memories” one where the name in booking is “moments”, Water in the shower wasn’t constantly hot and it had frequent streams of cold water
• Laurie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kobe (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location, very comfortable apartment
• Sarah (10/5): Absolutely perfect stay for our family of 5. Great bedrooms and brilliant to have 2 bathrooms to use as well. - Walkable to everything. Great space for a family of 5. Mini market, restaurants and bars so close yet it is quiet location. Decorated beautifully and added bonus of a washing machine and drying rack. Nothing - we loved it!
• Jeanette (10/5): Great stay. Would stay again. - Close proximity to the Acropolis and Plaka. Beautifully decorated apartment. Ideal for family of 5 adults. Great supermarket nearby.
• Joanne (10/5): Fantastic stay, highly recommend this apartment - Awesome apartment . Tastefully decorated. Comfortable size. Best location in Athens , close to the underground station, a few steps to the Acropolis and walking distance to Plaka. Would have liked a change of towels without charge.
• Nahid (8/5): Very good -
• Stephanie (9/5): Beautiful apartment, great location - very well presented, lovely flat. the apartment is in a traditional acropolis building converted into a beautiful three bedroom flat. Proximity to a primary school. The kids were loud from early mornings and Saturday afternoon.
• Andrej (9/5): Superb - We really enjoyed our stay. Location was great. Acropolis is 5 min walk, Plaka is close too. There is a great coffee place 2 mins walk where you can a have breakfast with many nice restaurants as well. What is important it was rather quite as not much traffic on this street in general. Fully recommend. There was one small issue with the heater, so if there is no hot water just check the switches that are on the left to the door to the main bathroom. I could not fix right when it happen at midnight, but in the morning second attempt was sussefull at more cautious examination of the switch box.
• Agata (10/5): Exceptional - The flat is really close to Acropolis and the most important the street is quite silent so there is no problem with sleeping:)
• Alexandra1911 (10/5): Exceptional - The location is the best that you can find in Athens. The apartment is so spatious (it's an entire floor) and it has everything you need. It is is very close to Acropolis and to Acropolis Museum. The apartment is located in a very quiet area, the only little noise we've heard was made from a school nearby (but it was only during the day). Although we've read the book prepared by the owners for the use of the apartment, we couldn't figure out how to turn on the heat 🙈 and we thought that the only way of heating the apartment was by air conditioning. Luckily, our host helped us and told us how to turn on the heat from the very first evening (I leave here a piece of advice for others who need it: you have to turn on the thermostat, which is next to the big bathroom, but also turn on all the radiators from both the upper and lower taps).
• Lecia (10/5): Loved our stay, if ever in Athens again we will look you up! - Location was great. Plenty of room for 6. We could not figure out how to unlock the door, you had to turn it 3 times before it would unlatch. Not sure if this as a Greece thing but coming from the US it took 3 of us some time to resolve. The hot water heater had instructions but this was also tricky as there were two things with switches. a little clarification could help the next tenant. The dumpster said, "around the corner" Could be a little more clear, even though we did find it. The notes on the bins were also confusing. One said "dry towels only". We did not use the kitchen bin and just used our own bag to bring to the dumpster.
• Jeremy (9/5): great family memories - really comfortable, air conditioning was great and easy location for everything we wanted to see. communication with host was fantastic and prompt. thanks very much. some noise on weekend nights but not major and out of owners control. Had only very minimal impact.
