zen love, exarchia

- spacious apartment, everything new and very clean - the balcony - comfortable bed, pillows and duvet - kitchen with everything you need - the area around with lots of nice shops, cafes, restaurants etc. - only a 20 minute walk from syntagma square (or 15 minutes by bus) - separate areas to sleep, cool, work, chill…

- the sofa was very uncomfortable and since we came in winter and spend some time inside as well it would have been nicer to have a comfy place besides the bed - the entrance to the apartment was difficult to find at first. Google Maps shows a different location for the address and the street is very dark. Couldn’t find the apartment for a while and were wondering around with our bags - big mold stain in the bedroom - it was pretty cold in the apartment so we definately needed the heating - You can hear everything from the apartment next door. In our case there was a family with kids and it was super loud almost every day. - problems turning on the heating at first but got help from a nice staff member on the same day

Clean, comfortable, nicely renovated, good location

It would have helpful to have instructions on how to turn on heat and the boiler when hot water stopped working cause we pressed the wrong button

Es un departamento amplio, muy bien ventilado y muy iluminado. Baño y cocina remodelados completamente. Bien equipados. Es bastante central, a 15 minutos caminando de plaza Omonia, km 0 de Atenas. Destacable la amabilidad y servicialidad de los dueños.

Lo único que agregaría al baño es un par de repisas para la colección de artículos con que uno puede viajar. Pero es sólo un detalle.

The price was good for Athens and the location, allthough this is basically the monthly rent of this apartment and we paid that in 2 weeks. Comfortable bed and good storage. Modern apartment. Very cool neighbourhood but important to stay respectful to locals as overtourism and apartment rentals are a problem and grafitti in the street tells you to go away.

There were bread crumbs in the kitchen on arrival and some hair in the bathroom. I had to clean but it was not very time consuming and I didn't have the energy to report it. When I did report something later, it took several privatr phone numbers, either listed on booking or given in messages to actually reach the right person. I find it unnecessary and it gave me a lot of stress. The hot water also kept on disappearing and we called for help. It was fixed for 1 day, then it went back yo not working. When we moved in to the flat, we noticed that some plates were oily. So the hot water wasn't working when the previous guest stayed there. How can you then claim that the flat has constant hot water? I had to reset the boiler every day and several times for it to work. The apartment isn't well insulated and we heard everything in the street. Teenagers smoking and not moving away from our entrance, although they didn't live there. Teenagers urinating in the street in front of our house. There was always trash in front of the house. The teenagers left cigarettes and super market left over plastics outside the main entrance. The neighbours picked these up in silence. This is a really rough neighbourhood and it depends on what street you stay in. The apartment was also after we washed our clothes, they were damp for days, making them stink. Stains didn't go away because the washing machine took in cold water because the boiler was off. The couch was very small and uncomfortable. I could barely sit back and relax. Someone out a strong headlight-looking spotlight in the abandonded garage in the back on the house and this light disturbed us so much during evenings. My partner is epileptic and strong lights make him dizzy.
