The worst experience

Could not get into the property. No one would answer or help. Was left stranded in Athens at 11pm. Tried calling and was ignored. The worst experience. Do not stay it is a scam.

Horrible. The landlord decided not to rent it out at 1140pm on day of my reservation after I arrived. I was on the street with nowhere to stay.

It was OK and served it's purpose whilst visiting a family member in the nearby hospital

− There were insufficient cups (1 and a huge bowl like mug)/ I messaged the hosts and they said they would tell a colleague but nobody turned up with more, so we had to drink tea and coffee from the one mug and glasses. It would have been nice to have a little welcome pack, perhaps even just some milk.

Don’t arrive to Athens on a late flight!

Very bright, safe, well located, lots of spare towels, well furnished.

− The manager gave us the wrong code for the key box. I was due to arrive at 3am, so had my other companion not checked in earlier this likely would have been a major issue. Only one roll of toilet paper for a 2 bedroom flat. Toilet paper holder was broken off the wall. WiFi password on the check in instructions in flag weren’t correct. Only one set of keys for the property. Shower head was falling off and not operating correctly. Check in instructions in flat also mentioned a complimentary breakfast in the fridge but this was not there.

Good

Great location, spacious apartment

− There weren’t any sheets for the third person, even though we booked a 3 person stay

THE PARKING IS NOT FREE IN THE STREEET OR ANYWHERE NEAR, IT COSTS 40 EUROS PER DAY !!

The rooms were spacious enough and the beds were comfortable, but we expected that since we paid for it as we would for a hotel with no food. The wifi was good as expected. Taxi ride is cheap in the city.

− The parking situation is AWFULL in that part of the city. The host said that the parking is free on the street, but it wasn't. I had to park on the top of the hill which was the closest free parking and it was about 1.5 km from the apartment and you had to climb up to get the car, or to get a taxi every time you need to go to your car. IT COSTS ABOUT 40 EUROS PER DAY TO PARK YOUR CAR ANYWHERE IN THAT PART OF THE CITY, SO IT IS NOT FREE !! We had a problem with the electricity grounding in the shower as well, and the hosts said that the electrician can come 1 day after I called, and since we were staying 3 nights there, I declined and insulated the shower handle myself by duck taping the plastic bag to it, so we don't get shocked while we are in the shower.
