Athens home
Great communication with the host throughout the whole process. Very inviting and comfortable apartment located within a short walk of Plaka and the Acropolis.
I only wish the shower was a little bigger. Overall, it was a pleasant and memorable stay.

Excellent!
The flat was clean and perfect for all our needs! About a 15 minute walk to the Acropolis, and surrounded by lots of great restaurants/bars. The owner was so helpful and easy to contact. He helped arrange a ride for us from the airport to the flat and was always checking in to make sure our needs were met. Also gave some excellent recommendations for food/drinks! Overall he went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable!

Good value - low standard
The apartment was functional and very clean. My only criticism was that the apartment was very cheaply updated and had a dated feel - especially the tiny bathroom. Still, our needs were mostly met. If your expectations are not very high, this apartment will serve your needs. Wish there was a table and some more
chairs though. The neighborhood is safe and lively with lots of tavernas, cafes and good transportation available. Itās at least a 15-20 minute walk to the closest places of interest. Overallā¦decent value if on a budget.

Enjoyed our stay!
We were able to walk to where ever we wanted without transportation hassles. Communication was over 5 stars! We had all the information we needed before arriving in Athens which made us more comfortable about our stay. The owner even communicated with us while we were there. He helped with restaurant recommendations and getting transportation from the airport to the flat. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided.

Acropolis a short walk
This charming flat was a gem to find on line. It was close to stores, restaurants, cafeās and more.
The acropolis was about a 19 minute walk and was easy to navigate. But go early or after 2, Thatās what we were told to avoid the crowds, from all the tours groups coming through.
Nik was an awesome host and made sure we were well taken care of during our stay. We were having problems finding a ride from the airport to the flat and he arranged it for us. I would highly recommend this flat to anyone looking for a quiet accessible place to stay in Athens.
