Wonderful place for those traveling on a budget! Not fancy but had everything we needed for our visit to Athens. This flat was clean and provided all the essentials. The hostâs communication was outstanding. Walking to most major sights was about 25 minutes and access to the metro about 10 minutes, less for the bus. I would recommend this place!
Great property in a residential area, with local gems. We could a great restaurant and ice cream within a 5 minute walk. The host, Mario, was very responsive and understanding. The check in and check out process was straight forward. I would recommend staying here if you are visiting Athens!
Great communication with the host throughout the whole process. Very inviting and comfortable apartment located within a short walk of Plaka and the Acropolis.
I only wish the shower was a little bigger. Overall, it was a pleasant and memorable stay.
The flat was clean and perfect for all our needs! About a 15 minute walk to the Acropolis, and surrounded by lots of great restaurants/bars. The owner was so helpful and easy to contact. He helped arrange a ride for us from the airport to the flat and was always checking in to make sure our needs were met. Also gave some excellent recommendations for food/drinks! Overall he went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable!
The apartment was functional and very clean. My only criticism was that the apartment was very cheaply updated and had a dated feel - especially the tiny bathroom. Still, our needs were mostly met. If your expectations are not very high, this apartment will serve your needs. Wish there was a table and some more
chairs though. The neighborhood is safe and lively with lots of tavernas, cafes and good transportation available. Itâs at least a 15-20 minute walk to the closest places of interest. OverallâŠdecent value if on a budget.
We were able to walk to where ever we wanted without transportation hassles. Communication was over 5 stars! We had all the information we needed before arriving in Athens which made us more comfortable about our stay. The owner even communicated with us while we were there. He helped with restaurant recommendations and getting transportation from the airport to the flat. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided.
This charming flat was a gem to find on line. It was close to stores, restaurants, cafeâs and more.
The acropolis was about a 19 minute walk and was easy to navigate. But go early or after 2, Thatâs what we were told to avoid the crowds, from all the tours groups coming through.
Nik was an awesome host and made sure we were well taken care of during our stay. We were having problems finding a ride from the airport to the flat and he arranged it for us. I would highly recommend this flat to anyone looking for a quiet accessible place to stay in Athens.
