Stunning 2-Bedrooms Apartment in the heart of Athens

Sfeer, inrichting, het terras, de ruimte, faciliteiten, ligging, eigenlijk alles! De instructies en communicatie zijn super duidelijk en de hosts zijn echt uitzonderlijk vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Dank!!

The location of the property is fantastic, making it very convenient to get around. Check‑in and check‑out were completely seamless and trouble‑free. The room is spacious, bright, and exceptionally clean. We had a really comfortable and pleasant stay overall. Highly recommended!

Very convenient

Only one set of keys very inconvenient if you have two bedrooms with 4 people you need two sets of keys

The location is good for singles or solo travelers who want to enjoy the vibrant nightlife of Athens. It’s right in the heart of the city and very close to the Acropolis, making sightseeing convenient during the day. There are countless bars, pubs, and entertainment options for those seeking an active nightlife. The apartment itself has been newly renovated and is well maintained inside. David is an attentive host.

Our recent stay at this apartment was disappointing, especially for a family. First, the location does not feel safe at night. There are many homeless individuals and intimidating characters loitering right outside the building entrance, including several people with full-body tattoos were there daily. The area is heavily patrolled by police, surrounded by bars and pubs, and we even saw solicitors standing in front of the property in the evenings trying to recruit “clients,” which was quite unsettling. Second, the apartment building itself is very old, and graffiti is common not just on the street but even inside the building. The elevator is extremely small, outdated, and quite claustrophobic, making it uncomfortable for families with kids. I was not able to carry more than one suitcase at a time...it's that small. You can smell fishy odor everywhere inside the building and elevator. Third, we noticed hate messages aimed at tourists carved or written in various spots, including on the elevator door (see the elevator door photo attached to this review) which made us feel unwelcome, scared and uneasy. It's pretty clear that the apartment residents don't want tourists. In addition, there is no convenient public transportation nearby, which makes getting around challenging if you don’t have a car. Parking is not available and I had to park away from the property and walk back in the night. Lastly, the apartment lacks a microwave, which is an amenity most Airbnb or Booking.com rentals typically offer (a small but meaningful inconvenience for travelers who want to heat up simple meals). Overall, I would not recommend this property for families due to safety concerns, the unpleasant environment, and the lack of basic amenities.
