The perfect location. It was a bit noisy at night but everything else was perfect

Musty/moldy mostly below ground apartment close to the Plaka.

The location and the size of the property.

− The bedrooms and bathrooms were all below ground level and the apartment had black mold, an overwhelming dank/musty smell and unhealthy moisture levels. The bathroom fans were useless - did not extract any moisture - and the one dehumidifier was insufficient for the amount of downstairs space (and also had mold in the water tray). The management company apologized for the smell and said it was due to the apartment being unoccupied for a few days prior. However it was a cop out response because the management needs to solve/manage the moisture issue more proactively. It is obviously a known issue. Dehumidifiers should be running and black mold removed prior to occupancy as needed to ensure the mold and moisture are not present upon occupancy. Moisture levels were at 86% upon arrival and despite running the one dehumidifier constantly during our two day stay we could not get any of the downstairs areas below 60%. We bought scented candles to try to alleviate the smell but it was too overwhelming. I would not recommend that anyone stay at this accommodation until management takes proactive steps (installation of proper exhaust fans in the bathroom, purchase and regular running of additional dehumidifiers, constant air circulation regardless of occupancy, etc.) to remedy the moisture problem and then a thorough cleaning/eradication of the mold and smell. If that happens, the location is amazing and it would be worth $350 euros a night - even with the noisy bar across the street (really only an issue on weekends and from one bedroom).

The property is beautiful, renovated and fully furnished. It is very clean. We had the option of doing self check-in which was very convenient and we were able to leave our luggage at the property before check-in time. If you are looking for a good night sleep, unfortunately, it is not the right place, there is a bar across the street and it’s very noisy until 3-4am. Also, if you plan on using the sofa bed, it is not very comfortable. The property owner is very responsive and very understanding. I would recommend this place only if you plan on sleeping late (after 3am).

Fantastic location for a short stay in central Athens

Fantastic location. Clean. Large and comfortable bedrooms. Stylish.

− Kitchen/living area limited for a group of 7. But perfectly adequate for a short stay.

Clear and friendly communication with the host and central location.

− This is what it's like to live in a dungeon. The living room is upstairs, but all bedrooms and bathrooms are downstairs. The few windows down there are high up and impossible to reach. Very little natural light or fresh air and everything is painted grey. The windows are right next to the street, so you can hear everything clearly - traffic and people's conversations. I'm sorry to say, it was weird and rather grim down there.
