The flat was clean and exactly like the photos. It's in a great location with an easy walk to key areas like Plaka, Syntagma Square, the Acropolis and Ermou street. Very close to the Hop On Hop Off buses too. Plus there's a little cafe across the street that we liked for evening cocktails and gelato. We'd stay here again if ever in Athens.

Fantastic location, close to everything and in a safe neighborhood. Very clean, stocked with everything you could ask for in an apartment. We would highly recommend the location. Gracious host with great communication, always happy to help and provide advice. The only minor negative we found were the beds as they are extremely hard. All four adults found them to be uncomfortable.

Dear Holly, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the superb location, the cleanliness, and the amenities we provide in the apartment. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and we are glad our recommendations were helpful during your stay. Regarding the beds, we appreciate your honest feedback.

Thank you again for highly recommending our place. We would love to welcome you back to Athens in the future!

Nice flat in a good location. The beds are very firm and it takes 30 minutes to heat water for a shower, but if you know that going on you will have a great stay!

Our stay was very nice. We struggled finding the key to get into the unit but once we found it, our stay was great. The location of the unit to restaurants, historic sights is great.

Thank you for your review. You were provided with a check-in guide that included detailed instructions and photos showing the location of the lockbox with the keys. It seems you did not review the guide thoroughly, which led to difficulty in finding the lockbox—it was only meters away from the building entrance. However, we promptly sent you information about its exact location, and you were eventually able to access the keys.

Great location for sight seeing

The property was very comfortable. It was close to restaurants, grocery, and interesting sites. You can also easily access buses or subway. Nik was great to arrange rides to the port, and answer any questions.

Great stay in Athens city center

The property was in a great central location. Walking distance to the Acropolis, Syntagma, Plaka as well as Monastiraki. The rooms were great with full amenities. Our host, Nik was great and super responsive. We would highly rate this location for a hassle free stay when in Athens.

Fantastic location!

My husband, son and I had a fabulous stay in this great apartment! Nik was exceptionally helpful after we made our booking, and continued to check in with us, to make sure all was okay. Apartment was lovely, with aircon and blackout shutters. Location is perfect, within easy walking distance of many attractions, restaurants and shops. Would definately stay here again!

Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear your rest was disturbed. To clarify, there are no dogs in our building; it sounds like the barking may have come from a neighbouring property.

Perfect location.

Was in Athens for a conference at the Zappeion and this apartment was only a five minute walk away. Plus it’s right on the edge of the Plaka, with all the shops and restaurants. It’s on a busy street but the windows all have new triple glazing so you hardly hear a thing. The a/c worked great, important during the massive heat wave. Nik was extremely responsive to all our inquiries, and arranged excellent transportation to and from the apartment. Highly recommend.

Terrific apartment

The apartment was so nice. Two large bedrooms and a comfortable living room/ kitchen. Two bathrooms. Nice terrace. Every room had an air conditioner- critical during this July heat. Exceptionally clean, modern. Everything worked. Lots of hot water. The apt is on a busy street but once inside you hear very little street traffic. Beds very comfortable. Best- the location was ideal. We walked everywhere. We love to walk. You absolutely can’t beat the convenience. The VRBO host Nik- was a perfect communicator. And we found a fabulous small restaurant a few streets away called Grande Dame- don’t miss it.

I was overly elated with this flat. Nik was very quick to respond to any questions I had. As a Diamond hotel member, I typically don't use VRBOs. However, I couldn't find a hotel locally I was interested in, so I used VRBO. And I'm glad I did! Very clean, neat, and tidy. Despite the traffic outside, when the doors and windows were closed, you could hear a pin drop inside the flat. Location is ideal for anyone visiting Athens for touring. My work was a quick subway ride away. A plethora of restaurants are near by, as well as grocery stores for anything you may need during your stay. I'd stay here again during my next stay to Athens! Well done, Nik! Keep up the good work!

Beautiful apartment in an unbeatable location

The apartment is easy to find and located central to everything. Transport, food, sights are on your doorstep. The communication with Nik the agent was excellent! The apartment is luxurious with everything you need for a stay including coffee machines, kettles and a washing machine. Added extras of washing powder, 2x drying racks, and kitchen towels and soap and shampoo were lovely surprises. The showers are amazing, great water pressure. Shutters on all windows helps reduce the noise of the busy street outside, keeps the apartment cool and dark for a good nights sleep. Every room also has its own airconditioner which is great. We loved our stay here and won't hesitate to book it again. Thanks

Great Location & Nik was a wonderful host

This place is clean, nice and is within walking distance from the Acropolis, and a bunch of great cafes, bakeries, and restaurants. Nik was an excellent contact and was always prompt to respond to messages. Markella met us at the apartment to pick up the keys and she showed us how to get in, use the lift, and where everything was in the unit, which was very helpful. Nik also arranged for a car to take us to the airport on our check out day (for a fee) and that made it easy on us. The only things I would improve on is that there was not a clothes dryer- which I think was advertised on Vrbo, and the mattresses were very firm. We laid extra comforters down to make them a little softer. But even with that, we would definitely stay there again!
