    Perfect location right in the middle of the main nightlife street and on the metro station + no noise at all in the apartment from the street. It was perfect for us as we only came to athens for one night and left early for the airport.

    It was no problem but from the booking I expected the washing machine, dryer to be in the apartment. It was in a shared space (4 apts) on the floor, so easy just not what we expected based on the description on booking.com

    Great location. Can walk to Pretty much every thing you would want to see. Great local restaurants. Very spacious. Well set up

    Overall, the cost-benefit met expectations as amenities & comfort of this very well-located Property
    • Leisure trip

    • Studio Apartment
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The apartment's basic amenities are inadequate, and some items are missing, such as cutlery and cooking knives, and the pots are worn. The service from some of the hosts is very slow, especially on the day of check-in (14 june) , when we had some issues. Maria checked in about eight hours later after we called and texted her, and in general, the hosts' response is slow, even on the property's WhatsApp. I'm now requesting an valid invoice for the first of our two stays at this property, and there's been no response.

    We liked the location and the comfort in general is good. the gastronomic environment offers many alternatives.

    The WiFi was very poor. Seemed like only one network for all of the units on the floor. At times, it wasn’t possible to access the internet.

    Location was great. Very walkable to many of Athen’s central attractions. There were shops and restaurants right outside the building, including a popular public transportation line and a taxi queue. The unit was very comfortable as well.

    It would have been nice to get some toiletries and it wasn't clear what to do with the bin.

    Loved the location, the host sent us really great instructions to check in and was attentive and the place itself was perfect for us. Just what we wanted. We will definitely stay again!

    Spacious and comfortable space. Having a kitchenette was great. The location of this apartment is absolutely perfect & near all services: metro station in front of the entrance, several convenience stores nearby to get groceries, several restaurants, self-service laundromat within walking distance, near all attractions (Plaka, Acropolis, museums). Felt like a safe neighborhood even at night.

    A convenient and comfortable stay

    Just a little bit more complicated than needed to access the buidling and collect the keys; there was an app, there was a code and there was another code. All almost worked fine but I am also pretty savy myself, perhaps someone else would find the whole process a bit confusing. Room can be noisy from the main street (Andrea Syggrou) eventhough the windows are doing a great job. Having said that I knew exactly that this would be the case but the location was super convenient for the purpose of my trip.

    The room was nicely renovated, well take care of and clean. It is a comfortable apartment for a couple of 1 person. Bed is also comfortable and the amenities were also sufficient. Apartment was also clean. Location, right next to the metro station with 2 stops to Syntagma square or 15min walk.

    There wasn’t much not to like to be honest. It had everything we needed. The area felt safe and we had use of the washer and dryer which for me, was a big deal!

    Very close to everything! We were able to walk to everything and what we couldn’t was easy to take the hop on hop off bus or the metro. Food joints and souvenir shops very close by. In an overall nice area of town. We liked that the property was secure and needed an access code to get in the building.

The building is very secure and surrounded by cafes, and markets. The metro station is 2 meters away from the main gate and Taxis are always available next to the building. I cant reccommed it enough. Will be mh spot everytime I visit Athens.

    The property location is very nice: short walk from the Acropolis area and from Plaka; nearby a subway station and close to restaurants. The apartment is silent enough for a good night of sleep.
