Arie Central Apartments by Live & Travel

Couldn’t fault it - incredibly clean and tidy upon arrival. The bed was really comfortable and the space was great - with walking distance (depending on fitness) to everything. Would 100% return!

No issues!

It was close to the center, it provided everything as pictures shown, it had nice balcony with electronic motor and the sunshine was coming in every day, bathroom looked very nice, tv was large.

Cleanness, floors were dirty and dusty including couch in the living room, bed sheets were dirty and the balcony was dirty from the dust rain

Hosts were lovely and helpful. Flat was big. Balcony was lovely. Kitchen was good. Hosts were very responsive straight away. Hosts were letting me stay a couple of hours past checkout. However at first they agreed on late afternoon and then changed it to 1pm max. So I had to quickly find a luggage storage in athens as our flights were at 8pm. It turned out fine as found a luggage store easily.

1. the bed: Linen was cheap polyester that was sliding off and kept revealing the mattress. It was very uncomfortable to sleep with that bedding. Had to ask for 1 more blanket as we were 2 persons and it was cold at night. Was given it straightaway. Pillows uncomfortable. Bedding in general dirty. 2. Sofa was dirty and severely used - not at all like in the picture, but very frayed, coming apart and with cigarette burns. We layed a towel on it to be able to sit on it without feeling grossed out. 3. And the biggest issue was the Shower: it was completely blocked and it was dirty. It was clearly visible that this flat has a problem with shower drainage as there were watermarks and black wood damage all the way in the hallway when entering the flat. So clearly this is an ongoing issue that has not been fixed. First time I had a shower I had to cut it short as it was overflowing after a couple of minutes and I still had shampoo in my hair, so I thought I wait for it to drain and I wash off. It did not drain and I had to wash off in sink. It was highly uncomfortable standing there wet waiting for it drain. Water was everywhere in the bathroom. We were there for 10 days and only 1 bedding and 1 set of towels and 1 bathmat was provided for the whole stay and that was not enough (especially being caught off guard with that major blockage). I then bought a pipe unblocker and poured it down and left it overnight. I managed to have a very light drizzle quick shower and wash off the shampoo this time, but I also took the balcony chair and stood on it while taking the shower as I did not want to stand in 5cm of standing water. It was yucky. Bathroom was still wet all over. 4. there is a thin door inside the flat leading to the other flat, which is so uncomfortable and feels unsafe travelling with a child.I hung a bag with empty glass bottles on the handle as a precaution if the other side is able to open it.Also you could hear everything clearly through the door.
