Acropoli's balcony

C était parfait ! Super emplacement, super appartement, très calme pour bien se reposer de longues journées et hote vraiment très sympathique, très accueillant comme tous les grecs 👍

Rien !

El apartamento es precioso y las vistas increíbles. La terraza súper cómoda. La cocina también. El baño es sencillo pero la distribución muy útil.

El acceso daba algo de vértigo y si vas con maletas es complicado subir, pero la verdad merece la pena. Sabiéndolo, recomendable llevar mochila para alojarse allí.

A very central location. Easy to walk to restaurants and attractions. My host was very helpful. Great views of the city. Would recommend to anyone visiting Athens.

The host was incredibly friendly and waited for us despite our late arrival (our ferry was delayed). He also sent us great recommendations for excellent local restaurants. The terrace was a wonderful feature of the flat, very pleasant and perfect for relaxing in the evening. From the bedroom window, you can see the Acropolis, which was a lovely bonus. The location was excellent too: the neighbourhood is charming and close to the main attractions, shops, and restaurants. The bed was large and comfortable. The flat was clean. The bathroom had a stock of nice toiletries.

But—and this is a big but to all the positive points (and if these issues were mentioned in the flat description, I must have missed them)—there are some important things to note. First of all, the flat is accessible only via a narrow metal staircase, similar to a fire escape. You exit the main building on the top floor and then use this staircase to reach the flat. It feels secure enough, but for anyone with mobility issues, a fear of heights, or heavy luggage, it would definitely be difficult to manage. The condition of the bathroom was honestly quite poor. A section of the plastic panel in the door was missing, the door frame was falling apart, and the shower consisted of a handheld shower head placed next to the toilet, without any separate shower area, so every time you use it, the entire bathroom gets wet. It also looks like it hasn’t been renovated in decades. The water pressure is very poor, too, so washing long hair took forever- but this is not something that the host can change, I guess. The kitchen is spacious but poorly equipped: there’s no chopping board, no decent knife, no microwave, and the freezer door is missing, so everything inside was frosted over, and you couldn’t even make ice. Overall, if I’d known about these things in advance, I would have chosen a different place, despite the lovely balcony, the friendly host, and the great location. That said, if the flat were renovated and better equipped, I’d happily give it a much higher rating.
