Our contact was Marina who was WONDERFUL. She arranged all our cab transfers and was friendly and efficient in answering any questions we had. The apartment was a 2 bedroom/ 2 bathroom (Polyhymnia) and was spotlessly clean and quiet. There were enough cleaning and bathroom supplies provided as well as bed linen and towels. We had everything we needed for our stay. I especially loved the beautiful old creaky wooden floors! The location was fab for us. Koukaki neighbourhood is about 20/25 mins walk from the Acropolis museum and the two main streets to get there (Veikou and Dimitrakopoulou) are lined with artisan shops, boutiques, bars, cafes and delis where you can pick up some wonderful unique gifts and grab good food from Thai to tacos. There was a mini market 5 minutes walk away and restaurants 7-10 minutes walk. We were struck by the friendliness of the Athenians and how clean everywhere is. We visited in the last week of October and every day was a sunny 20 degrees. We had a blast, and Muses Residence really helped to make our stay enjoyable.

WiFi in the apartment ran a little slow at times, but this was honestly only ever the SLIGHTEST of annoyances if we were trying to stream programmes through our phones to the TV. First world problems! If you are travelling with someone with a food allergy (our daughter is Coealiac) you'll struggle to find food in the mini markets. Try the delis or organic food places in the area instead. We couldn't make head nor tail of the public transport but to be fair we didn't try too hard...we were happy to stroll about everywhere as Athens is so interesting. We walked over 60 miles in the week!

The location of the property is excellent. It is a safe and quite neighborhood. There are lots of nice cafes and good restaurants nearby. Supermarket is just 2 mins walk away from the building. It is so nice to walk around the neighborhood both in the day and night. We stayed on the second floor. The front balcony has a nice view of the street and buildings nearby. The back balcony view was not that much pleasant since it looks at the buildings which are very close to the apartment and one of them is abandoned. But we don’t mind it anyways. They provided paper towels, two mini bottles of olive oils, couple of teas, sugar, salt and black pepper in small disposable bags (for one use) in addition to the kitchenware. Beds were comfortable. Sheets and beds were clean. The staff was so helpful and friendly. Marina, the host of the residence, was nice and helpful. She turned back all of my messages promptly.

Everything was nice but: If you have heavy and big luggage it is difficult to move them up since there is no elevator and staircase are spiral. It would be nice to have more than 2 cooking pots. Maybe a small sauce pan would be a nice addition. The terrace has a nice view but the furniture needs a little bit of maintenance. A sun shield would be nice since it is impossible to stay under the sun in hot days.

The apartment was absolutely beautiful. The decor and design was gorgeous and having two toilets was super useful for 4 people sharing the apartment. The terrace at the back of the apartment was a lovely addition and the access to the roof terrace on the building next door which i used to do yoga in the mornings at sunrise (I've attached some pictures). The location is excellent, about 20 min walk to the acropolis and lots of restaurants and cafes nearby. Because its not right in the very center its less tourist-y and the cafes and restaurants nearby are very wholesome and authentic Greek - not mass tourist attractions. The AC is really good and in all rooms of the house which was super helpful during August when it was hot. With a supermarket 1 minute down the road, along with bakeries, pharmacy, it has everything you need. I would absolutely love to stay again. The host was also super responsive and helpful whenever needed throughout the stay. Thank you!

Having to leave! :)

OMG..A++++ EXCELLENT apartment, SUPER CLEAN, BEAUTIFUL Apartment, ok plenty of closet space,a safe for your personal items, beautiful kitchen, super clean with a beautiful panoramic window to enjoy the view! Great balconies to sit outside and enjoy the view and the sun! A dryer rack for your clothes, a washing machine and dryer up on the rooftop for your clothes(no charge,and soap to use). While washing your clothes you can sit on the roof top on the nice chairs and take in the sun or bring your coffee upstairs and relax while the wash on.The rooms we're so nice and the beds were super comfy, great quality mattresses.I absolutely love The decorating, simple and classy.The location is great, lots of bars,cafes and eateries within 2-7minutes of walking distance.The staff was fantastic! Any questions I had, their response was courteous and immediate! Big supermarket was 2 blocks away, great prices! Transportation was very close... really, I can't say enough about this place! AMAZING!

Nothing at all, everything was amazing. I've stayed at many Airbnb's while traveling, this one honestly is the BEST.

We booked a ground floor apartment for the October week. The place is quite small and has only windows at the front, but it is well designed and has everything what’s needed for a holiday stay. The apartment is well maintained, very clean, faultless and secure. There is everything needed to prepare a meal for 4 people. All appliances were in a good working condition. The fridge/freezer seemed new. There were very clever lighting fittings throughout the apartment creating a really cosy ambience after dark. The main bed is comfortable. There are two air-conditioning fans that cools the air almost instantly. The location to all attractions was perfect for us as we like to walk, exploring the area. Maria was very helpful and was swiftly answering all queries. It was the first time we have booked an accommodation through Booking.com and it went incredibly well. We felt like we were looked after throughout the whole stay. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Athens: fantastic weather, food and atmosphere!

I wouldn’t recommend sleeping on the reclined sofa bed as it is quite small and it is basically a thin mattress on top of squeaky springs. The apartment is also very warm. We are not used to air-conditioning and we had trouble falling asleep with it. Also, the fact that the place is close to a road doesn’t help. The noise of passing cars and mopeds was echoing loudly throughout the walls (windows closed or open).

The walk into the town centre which was useful to see the other districts and what they have to offer. The apartment felt safe and was spacious. The rooms were modern and lights with access to two balcony doors which you could open and look at the views. It is near to the Acropolis, basically just sat behind the hill of the Muses. Plenty of local shops and restaurants. Athens is an amazing city with endless things to see and do. This was a good base and good value for money.

I cannot complain about anything, the host was on hand but via message at regular intervals both before our stay and on leaving and sorted any enquiries out if we had any.

The apartment was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. Big fridge. Modern cooker and at least two coffee machines. The shower was powerful and hot (once we realised we had to put the immersion on on a cloudy day). The bathroom was modern. The bed and sofa bed were comfortable and there were nice touches like hair drier and straighteners. Great black out blinds. The communication was easy, friendly and efficient. Maria even replied to a query at 8pm in the evening. The roof terrace is a big basic but it was lovely to have somewhere to sit in the sun and relax. I travelled with my grown up son and we would definitely stay here again. There are lots of local bars and lovely restaurants nearby full of locals rather than tourists. Try Lobo.

We did have an issue with the wi-fi but it was sorted very quickly. The apartment was a bit further out than I thought so we used the number 15 bus that runs on the street outside. The nearest metro is nearly 15 minutes walk. On the plus side of that though the restaurants nearby were reasonably priced and full of locals.

Our host Marina was always responsive, she took good care of us. The place has a good location: near to public transport, grocery stores, etc. Our apartment had a bathroom with shower and an additional bathroom, excellent kitchen, one bed and one sofa for two people. Everything what you need for a comfortable stay. Easy self check-in.

The sofa bed can be a bit loud but everything else is fine.

Lovely and spacious place, nicely furnished to the smallest detail. Wonderful garden. We were 4 pretentious guests, but the apartment satisfied all our whims - solid blackout blinds, nice wine glasses, cozy furniture, etc. The old city center is maybe 20 min by foot and 5-10 min by car or 5 euro with Uber/ cab. Near the apartment itself there's a busy aria with pubs, bars, restaurants, with mostly local people. Definitely recommended if you want to visit Athens.

The apartment was spacious, comfortable and well appointed for our week long stay! A supermarket just a couple of blocks away and a couple of eateries in easy walking distance. The Acropolis is just a twenty minute walk away as was the Acropolis Museum and the Odeon Herodes Atticus theater where we went for an evening of excellent opera. We took a local bus to and from a nice public beach, Paralia Edem, for an afternoon of swimming (reef shoes recommended). Finally, our hostess, Maria, was very customer focused and responsive to our questions and has made a very friendly and welcoming space for her visitors.
