Great location
This property was beautiful, and in a great location, central to our stay in Athens. We had a mishap regarding the description of the property, but the owner was great to deal with and provided a viable solution.

A great place!
This place was perfect for me. A lovely courtyard and a clean, comfortable room. With coffee, even! I needed a little extra help with a place to keep my bags and Giorgios really saved my day. Thank you!

Finding it was an adventure
The property was nicely maintained however the neighborhood was a bit depressed. The losing had no address and was difficult to find until the address was sent after we arrived.

Excellent apartment and location!
Exceptional service and the apartment was the perfect size for our weeklong stay in Athens, with access to the outer courtyard. The neighborhood Exarcheia was great to explore with countless options to eat and listen to live music. And best of all was the host - when I had any questions, they were answered right away and check in was seamless! The laundry (and cool dryer) was also a luxury you’ll be hard pressed to find in Greece!

An area with energy and an edge.
The area has a real edge to it, which I loved. Lots of colour and life. Close to some other interesting areas. My host was excellent. All most immediate response to any communication with him. Very warm and relaxed.

Great place to stay and excellent host!
This was a really good spot to stay for our trip to Athens. The space itself was a really great size (especially after coming from tiny hotel rooms in Paris). We loved having access to a washer/dryer unit. George was also a great host! Very welcoming and helpful. He also gave us a really great recommendation for dinner that was only a few minute walk away. Some of our favorite food we had in Greece! Only “downfall” is that it’s a decent walk to Plaka and the acropolis (if that’s all you’re in Athens for), but the walk there really wasn’t too bad so we didn’t mind it! But the area around it was great to explore. There were a lot of restaurants and coffee shops within a short walking distance.
