The location is fantastic being close to both Syntagma Sq (where both the metro station and airport bus have stops) and the Plakka area. The photos are accurate and as mentioned by other reviewers the bathroom is very 'snug'. We were aware of this before booking and managed OK. If using the very small sink just move the mirror out of the way OR use the kitchen sink. We are both of a small build and the shower is 'tight'. We didn't use the kitchen so can't comment on that. George was quick to respond to any messages which made arrival and queries easy. Plenty of room and very quiet. Good value for the price. ##### Glenn Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melchor 11 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication George went above and beyond.

Standing at the property front door, I had to request check in info as no prior email was sent. Had to try 3 code boxes as the info did not specify which code box. Had to ask about what hot water fuse to turn on, as it was not specific in instructions. The top drawer in the kitchen was broken and one of the night stand lamp shades was also broken. Toilet is snug to wall with shower foot edge on the other side - super snug with no rails to stand or sit. Also window in main room did not lock properly. Front door if property had a very loud high pitched sound when opened by all guests of building. Would not recommend! ##### Cathy Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nigel 1 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication ##### Nigel Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Mayara 23 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Muito boa, super nos atendeu, único ponto seria o tamanho do banheiro mesmo, quando fechei já sabia, então não foi um susto, mas é bem pequeno mesmo. De resto ótima localização, cama boa, havia ar condicionado, tinha até uma cafeteira, proprietário explicou tudo e nos deu todo suporte. ##### Mayara Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stacey 7 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Lovely apartment, great location Had a great stay in Athens. Very nice apartment in a brilliant location for all the tourist attractions, Acropolis, Olympic stadium etc etc, could walk to all of them and only 5 minutes walk to the main tube station. Plaka is a great location and neighbourhood and apartment is on top of a street full of bars and lovely restaurants. Only downside to the apetment is the bathroom which is very small and not particularly practical but we knew that before we stayed and I wouldn't let that put you off as everything else is great. Would definitely recommend this apartment and would definitely stay again if I came to Athens again. ##### Stacey Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Hendrika Willemina 23 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Right in the centre of Plaka, close to everything. Accommodation a bit older and no view or balcony but the location makes up for everything. ##### Hendrika Willemina Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Nelson 15 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We got a quick response from the owner during check-in. Location is great, close to transportation and shops. Despite a small bathroom, it was still a good place to stay for a couple of nights ##### Nelson Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah 9 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Very clean and quiet. Small unit but had everything we wanted and needed. Very good location to all transport and amenities. ##### Sarah Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Joseph 10 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication Bathroom too small and unmanageable. ##### Joseph Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carolyn 16 May 2022 ##### Carolyn Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara 11 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Excellent location in the Plaka with easy access to all public transportation at Syntagma Square and steps away from amazing close-up views of the Acropolis. Many good restaurants, cafes, etc. in the area. The host, George, is very responsive & very quickly & graciously replies to any enquires. The room itself is spacious & comfortable with a/c, kitchenette, tv & wifi. The window overlooks an interior courtyard, so no view at all but adequate light. It’s also very nice & quiet for sleeping. The downside is definitely the tiny bathroom. It is indeed very small but the shower works well with lots of hot water. The tiny sink and awkwardly placed toilet are a bit of a challenge, but I think the trade off for the price & location is worth it. Depends what your priorities are! ##### Barbara Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### T 24 Jul 2021 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness #### Amazing location/great room/tiny bathroom You could not find a better location than this room! It’s exactly in the center (Plaka) and everything you need is accessible from there. At the beginning it was hard for us to locate because it’s not a hotel, it’s only an apartment. The studio itself is very spacious and great: however, the bathroom was not functional considering how small is was, I was very uncomfortable trying to use it, but it was a little easier for my husband to use. If only interested about the location this is definitely your go-to apartment! But if you’re looking for comfort then I wouldn’t recommend this bathroom facility. ##### T Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 28 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Quirky, clean, comfy, close to sights Super clean, somewhat quirky older property, tricky to find, signage non existent, host sent Wi-Fi password and allowed to drop bags off before cleaning completed, which was nice Look for street address, check for wifi signal and sign in and communicate with host. Tiny bathroom and kitchen but great value for such a perfect location. ##### Richard Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris 30 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Perfect room Perfectly lovely room with everything we needed in a really lovely part of Athens ##### Chris Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 26 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Deux nuits à Athènes Les +: Appartement calme, très grand, lit très confortable, bonne situation géographique, self check in. Machine à café, bouilloire, four et plaques (mais pas de four micro ondes). Les -: salle d'eau plus que minuscule (j'arrivais à me tourner dans la douche car je suis mince mais je pense que c'est ingérable pour une personne plus imposante, difficile de s'asseoir sur le toilette par manque de place et lavage de dents dans l'évier..). Besoin de lancer le chauffeau 25 min avant la douche pour avoir de l'eau chaude. Malgré cela bonne expérience à un prix très raisonnable. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cape Sounio, A Grecotel Resort to Live](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athens-Hotels-Cape-Sounio.h973998.Hotel-Information) > > [Gay-Friendly Hotels in Rhodes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels-Gay-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d11286-tGayFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Doncaster](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Doncaster-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d6822-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Athens Panorama Project](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athens-Hotels-Athens-Panorama-Suites.h46072422.Hotel-Information) > > [Cavo D'Oro Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athens-Hotels-Cavo-DOro-Hotel.h11074444.Hotel-Information) > > [Kinetta Beach Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athens-Hotels-Kinetta-Beach-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2256271.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels.d179992.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Kempinski Hotel The Dome Belek - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Serik-Hotels-Kempinski-Hotel-The-Dome-Belek-All-Inclusive.h1213021.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott, Dubai Investment Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott.h27507087.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Alpha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/SantAgnello-Hotels-Hotel-Alpha.h1100348.Hotel-Information) > > [Nusfjord Village & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Flakstad-Hotels-Nusfjord-Arctic-Resort.h32600496.Hotel-Information) > > [Phidias Piraeus Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athens-Hotels-Phidias-Piraeus-Hotel.h1545253.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Athens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athens-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Athens.h21031.Hotel-Information) > > [Marathon Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athens-Hotels-Marathon-Beach-Resort.h8131485.Hotel-Information) > > [The Alex Monte Kastella](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athens-Hotels-The-Alex.h38235667.Hotel-Information) > > [Green Suites Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athens-Hotels-Green-Suites.h44573630.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Styles Athens Routes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athens-Hotels-Ibis-Styles-Athens-Routes.h36122912.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel Athens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athens-Hotels-President-Hotel-Athens.h1637285.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near St. James' Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-James-Park-Hotels.0-l6079501-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ramada Hotel and Suites by Wyndham Dubai JBR](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-Ramada-Hotel-And-Suites-By-Wyndham-Dubai-JBR.h6915556.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Di Mare Seaside Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels-Villa-Di-Mare-Seaside-Suites.h4395212.Hotel-Information) > > [Athenaeum InterContinental by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athens-Hotels-Athenaeum-InterContinental.h19591.Hotel-Information) > > [Columbus Hotel Monte-Carlo, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monaco-Hotels-Columbus-Monte-Carlo.h1579.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada by Wyndham , Athens Club Attica Riviera](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athens-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Attica-Riviera.h1398741.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LHR) to Lubbock (LBB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/lbb/london-to-lubbock) > > [Flights from Newcastle-upon-Tyne (NCL) to Ballasalla (IOM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ncl/iom/newcastle-to-isle-of-man) > > [Flights from Rome (FCO) to Edinburgh (EDI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/fco/edi/rome-to-edinburgh) > > [Flights from Málaga (AGP) to Paisley (GLA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/agp/gla/malaga-to-glasgow) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Nanning (NNG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/nng/london-to-nanning)
