  : Inside the apartment is clean, sufficient space and the washing machine was a bonus.
  : Beautiful apartment but expect to be surprised because the area is located in the heart of the Ghetto. This is the first apartment that I have booked where they only provide two toilet paper rolls for a family of 5 adults plus expects you to throw away trash daily but does not again provide trash bags. I have communicated this concern to Maria and she said that they will ONLY provide 2 toilet paper and we MUST purchase the rest. We did book this apartment for 4 nights and 5 days. An email of expectations that we needed to purchase toilet paper and trash bag ahead of time would have been greatly appreciated.

  : The property location was quality was great. Due to a plumbing problem, our apartment was changed to another, but it was very clean and beautiful inside.
  : Everything was great about the property, except the management. I found that the financial team were unorganised, pushy and outright rude, and tried pressuring us paying in cash. Would have come back if it werent for this.

  : The description of the accommodation was accurate and the photos were accurate. The apartment was well equipped with dishes and soap, bathroom amenities, towels and laundry detergent. There was a nearby supermarket and the apartment was sufficiently spacious. There was a guide book in the apartment with information about where to go for nightlife (which wasnt relevant to us), emergency contact details and how to operate things in the flat. We had an issue with the electricity not working when we checked in but the hosts resolved it promptly. It was less expensive than other apartments of the same spec. The lock box was easy to operate and the building was quiet.
  : The bottom sheet of our bed was too small for the mattress and kept coming off in the night so wed end up on the bare mattress. There was no metro nearby and it was a good 25 min walk into the city centre, which was downhill on the way there but uphill on the way back so we had to take taxis back everyday as the kids couldnt do the walk back. Although the apartment was clean, they could have done more to ensure corners of the apartment were cleaner and there were a few items already in the bin when we arrived. We would have liked more recommendations on where to eat nearby as opposed to places where we would have to travel to get to (we had to take two taxis everywhere so places within walking distance would have been easier). The street was quite run down and poorly lit at night. It was hard to judge whether it was a safe area or not.

  : The apartment is located 15 minutes from the Olympic Stadium and 25 minutes from Syntagma. For families like us who like to walk, it is an excellent location, close to attractions but not in the center. It is not a good location for people with small children or who have some mobility problems because there are a lot of climbs.You can literally buy everything you need in the vicinity of the apartment. We had a small problem with the fuse blowing in the apartment, and even though the hostess offered to send us a handyman, we didn't feel comfortable waiting for him in the apartment and thus wasting time walking around. We hope that problem is solved.
  : The couch in the living room is quite uncomfortable for sleeping because it is divided into two parts, while the beds in the other two rooms are quite comfortable. Deep plates and other kitchen utensils are missing in the kitchen or the are broken.

  : As soon as we walked in the apartment we found all kinds of bugs everywhere. Cockroaches were in the bedroom and living room. Small bugs were on the walls and kitchen floor. The shower was full of dirt and small bugs. I was with my wife and small child who were terrified and couldn't sleep even though we arrived late at night.We left the apartment early the next morning looking for new accomodation.I contacted the host immediately and requested the full refund which they agreed to but after several days they decided to refund only the half of the amount. (3 nights)So our stay in Athens was destroyed and they didn't have a decency to return the money. I am providing the photos so other people wouldn't think that I am lying or exaggerating. I would not recommend this place to anyone at all.

  : It's a hidden gem in Athens. The building and the flat are very well maintained and facilities were above expectations. The flat is modern and really comfortable. Internal private garden is just amazing to chill out under the shadow of an olive tree. The area is full of local shops and some tavernas opened until very late. Last but not least, Maria made painless our transfers back and forth from the airport and very reactive in answering any questions! You can check-in any time as it's through codes - no pain if you are late with your flight!
  : Kitchen is not fully equipped to prepare food, though you have enough dishes to consume it! Location is not central, take it into account because walking under the sun could be challenging. There was some working material left in the garden which wasn't nice to see even if not dangerous. Check if there is enough cleaning stuff for the washing machine and the dishwasher to avoid frustration when you need it and it's not available - ask to Maria to have it! Rooms are not big, keep into account if you are planning to spend more time inside the house.

  : The apartment has modern furniture, comfortable beds and good amenities. Having a washing machine with its detergents was really useful. There is a nearby coffee shop excellent for everyday breakfast.
  : There was early morning noise from a nearby carpentry warehouse and the terrace had leftovers of building materials. The "manager" should pay more attention to the cleanliness of the apartment; no coffee capsules were provided unlike what was stated on the note left in the kitchen. For a 4 day stay, the provided toiletries were not enough.
