Smart property in excellent location

The apartment is easily within easy walking distance to the acropolis as well as many other interesting areas. It was very clean and the owner was very helpful. It was easy to collect and return the keys. The shower was hot and powerful which was necessary in December!

− One of the two double beds was much more comfortable than the other, so we ended up using the sofa bed more than one of the double beds. Also, parking was difficult if we returned in the evening but not impossible - there are lots of streets around the back of the property which we could always find a space on, but it involved parallel parking on steep hills. There is a carpark directly behind the property but we weren’t sure if it’s opening times so we didn’t use it. Also, the kitchen couldn’t really be used to cook a proper meal but that’s fine - there are so many choices around for eating out that we wouldn’t have wanted to cook in the apartment.

Excellent location in terms of getting to Acropolis- only approx 10mins walk. Small car park right behind the building- we could see the car from the balcony. Owner was really responsive and seemed very polite in his messages. Very good size apartment! Nice main bedroom and lounge. Lots of spare towels and bedding . Key safe for self check in. 5 mins walk to very nice supermarket. Balcony and clothes rack to dry clothes. Nice bakery opposite with some hot food. Some small fruit/veg shops near by. Good size and comfortable beds, comfortable sofa and rocking chair. Outdoor blinds were really good. Very good price.

− May be a bit hard to sleep in main bedroom for light sleepers as right by extreemly busy main rd and window doesn't shut properly. 3 of us ended up sleeping in other bedroom, only one person managed with the noise. Toiletries were poured from big containers so you didn't really know what you get - maybe no issue for some but I would prefer small, personal Toiletries not shared containers. Kitchen was very outdated, which is ok as price was very good for location, but I personally wouldn't consider cooking a simple meal- we dined in restaurants and only prepared breakfast there. On door bell it doesn't say blue flamingo in English so may be a bit confusing. My main issue , which I highlighted with the owner, was level of cleaning. I did not let it ruin my stay but it needs huge improvement.. kitchen was really bad- dirty inside drawers, white trolley was dirty, black hair in the freezer, dirty bowls and cloths under sink in the kitchen ( I would really prefer not to see it since I am sure there were used for cleaning; seeing them made me feel worse..), sticky few knives, very used and dirty dish sponge (should be new for each guests!), stained and discoloured tea towels ( ended up buying my own sponge, cleaning wipes and tea towel in local supermarket). Everything needs proper clean.. dirty switches which we all touched.. but the worst were spare towels- I think previous guests probably checked them into the cupboard and cleaner never checked them.. they had dry stains , most of them were dirty - I put them all for wash and told the owner so hopefully cleaner will start checking. Owner was very sorry for this, obviously cleaner should have check this each time.. I personally think that it doesn't matter if apartment was outdated- old or new should be clean, that's the main point. Price was very good so I would never expect luxury but good hygiene is a must. Ironing board was tiny and had a hole.. I used towel on the top .

Nice apartment. a lot of advantages, the only bad thing was the narrow bathrome with no lock

8.0

The apartment is large, the neigborhood is nice and near to all kinds of public transportations, there is an elevator, the apartment reception is nice and large, the kitchen has a lot of facilities

− the bathrome is a little bit narrow with no locker from inside

Good location near Acropolis

9.0

The location is great, very close to a super vivid neighborhood in Athens. The space at the apartment is comfy. Probably the kitchen is a bit old but nothing major. It was a comfortable stay in Athens for a very fair price

− I couldn't complain about something in particular. It was a good experience overall
