The Gem of Filopappou

Lovely property - even nicer than the photos and very thoughtful toiletries and a lovely bottle of wine left by the owners. Great air conditioning, lovely courtyard and everything worked. Loved it.

the house is lovely - a little traffic noise from the street which didn’t bother me at all. A small hike to the supermarket because its a lovely residential neighborhood

Beautiful and comfortable- great for a family

What a wonderful stay! Our hosts were incredibly accommodating and flexible with our timing. The property is located in a charming residential neighborhood that was peaceful and quiet. The space itself was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend it to others.

Overall, we had a wonderful stay. However, the walls were thinner than expected. Since we stayed on the lower level, noise from the apartment above — including heavy footsteps and furniture movement — was quite noticeable.

The location was in a quiet residential area, but restaurants, coffee shops, pastry and of course the Acropolis and Syntagma Square were all accessible by walking ( no physical disabilities in our group of 50-somethings to 60-somethings). The Gem of Filopapou (we stayed in the two story Maisonette) was spacious with a beautiful terrace on the upper floor. The upstairs bedroom ensuite bath was small. The main floor bedroom was not ensuite, but the large bath was just across the hall. Beautiful tiles and a shower that actually drained! The dining and living rooms were spacious! We did not use the kitchen to cook a meal. The washing machine was tucked under the stairs - attention to your head when you stand up!!! The terrace was wonderful. It was appreciated that the terrace could be accessed without entering the upstairs bedroom. The entrance is private. Although there is another rental unit on the mainfloor of the building, we did not hear them at all. When you enter the building, there is a landing area and then a staircase up to access the Maisonette. So the mainfloor of the Maisonette is actually the first floor of the building.

There was a glitch with communication via the Booking.com messages, unfortunately. Our host was lovely and we were able to communicate via email outside of the booking platform. This was in no way related to the host or her apartement, it was clearly a Booking.com platform issue.
