I had a lovely stay at this apartment. The location is amazing — Kolonaki is my favourite area of Athens to stay in. The apartment is on the lower ground floor, which was actually a big advantage in the hot weather, as it stayed pleasantly cool. Everything I needed was provided, and the apartment was comfortable and well equipped.

A great adventure

The area,Kolanaki,was a great place to stay! Accessible to the city centre,lots of great historical monuments,museums,shops and cafes all within walking distance. I felt very safe walking around by myself, even late at night.

− The heating. One of the heaters didn't work at all and the radiators were not on at any time.It was a cold few days initially, but the weather did warm up.

Arrived late after a long journey to find the apartment uninhabitable and had to leave immediately.

− This is a basement apartment, and the problem starts before you even enter. The smell of dampness and mold at the entrance is overwhelming and immediately alarming. Once inside, the situation is even worse. The apartment has only one window at sidewalk level, directly facing the street, with a trash bin and parked motorbikes right outside. The remaining “windows” face narrow light wells or dark recesses below street level, offering no real natural light or proper ventilation. When opening the kitchen window, we saw an external air-conditioning unit inside the light well that was visibly moldy, rusted, and in very poor condition. It is unclear whether this unit serves the apartment, but if it does, it raises serious concerns about the quality of the air inside the space. The bathroom also showed visible signs of mold on the floor, and overall it was clear that there had been an attempt to cosmetically hide the problems rather than properly fix them. The humidity and mold smell were so intense that the apartment felt unfit for habitation, especially for anyone with allergies or respiratory sensitivity. Due to health concerns, we stayed for approximately 30 minutes while searching for alternative accommodation and then left, as it was impossible to remain there. We had booked the apartment for two nights. The issue was raised immediately, but the situation was not adequately resolved. I would not recommend this property under any circumstances. In my opinion, it should be seriously inspected before being offered to guests again.
