Nikis Penthouse

Location in the Plaka is close to many things to see and do. Terrace was fun to look out from. Creative use of space.

The elevator to get up there only allows one person if they have luggage or even a large backpack.

Excellent location, city view, large terrace. Good communication with host organization.

No coffee pods to accompany coffee machine, no tea/coffee/sugar supplies(like other apts), no tea towel provided, no instructions to use stovetop. Didn't realize bathroom & toilet were within kitchen reach - no privacy.

Location

Nothing to dislike

Excellent location – on the edge of the charming Plaka neighborhood, just a short walk to the Acropolis, Monastiraki, and Syntagma metro station. Plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Smooth self check-in – clear instructions via WhatsApp made everything very easy. Comfortable beds, making for a good night’s sleep. Nice terrace – could be very enjoyable in the summer months, though we didn’t use it during our December stay.

The terrace surrounds the apartment with very thin glass and the apartment is close to a busy road, so traffic noise can be noticeable at night – light sleepers might be affected. The terrace view isn’t particularly scenic; the Acropolis is on the opposite side. One room is spacious, while the other is very small, with just enough space for the bed. The door to the large room can stick and doesn’t always open or close easily. Although the host mentioned a welcome basket, it was not provided. The kitchen has a coffee machine, but no capsules are provided. There is no tea either, only a few sugar sachets.
