For starter, there was a little mistake and we didn’t get the apartment we had booked online. But George the host was fantastic! He organised for us to go to an alternative accommodation which was fantastic. All his restaurant recommendations were great too. He was always available to answer any queries I had. Brilliant service.

Nothing really except, The shower screen wasn’t big enough so every time anyone had a shower the bathroom floor would get wet. But we realised that’s the style in most Greek bathrooms.

This is our 2nd stay here, there are stairs and a small elevator, think old school tiny elevator, but it does the job if you have a wheelchair like my son or have issues with lots of stairs, but a few are fine. There are also a 4-5 steps up from the lobby door, so you will need assistance up those, then from there you can take the elevator the rest of the way. The location is fantastic for my physically disabled 11 y.o. son to easily reach all the most desired archeological sites, museums, shopping, and cafe. Easily accessible via the x95 airport express bus (6 euros adult/3 euro ages 6+ one way) from the airport which drops you 2 minutes walk away at Syntagma Square. The room is spacious! We love the electric tea kettle, and the mini kitchen has come in useful for cooking with our sons food allergies. There isn't a micro, which would be nice for quick heats, but we manage just fine using the oven, plus it keep things crispy if needed. There is a TV, but we've never used it during our visits as we've been too busy out doing all the things, or too tired from all the activity to even bother. PLEASE NOTE: IF bathroom size matters, this may not be the place for you as the bathroom is VERY small, tiny in fact. Around 1.5m x 1.5m or 4'x4', or so. For us not a problem, we flex, but others this will be an issue. There are 2 ATMs, one on either side of the lobby entrance, so getting cash is a breeze. Plus both Lumen and Majestic Travel/Tour offices are right outside as well should you feel up to booking a last minute excursion. Grocery is about 2 min walk away at the Bazaar Supermarket (think Aldi), be sure to bring your own bags or backpack. Bring a used gift card to stick in the utility slot, or remove the one from the keys. This way if someone stays behind they can still use the lights, etc. while you take the keys as both the apartment and lobby doors auto-lock for security reasons.

The lobby key still sticks just a tiny bit like last year, lol, so you have to jiggle it and it slows down the lobby entry, BUT again a minor inconvenience that we just overlook as it doesn't bother us.

fabulous location. Could walk most places we wanted to go or there was plenty of public transport close by. Room is stylishly presented and clean.

The bathroom is okay, but it’s very small and anyone who is obese or stiff in the joints would have trouble getting to the toilet!

Loved the big space and comfy bed and pillows and all that came with apartment. It was quiet yet Location was excellent, close to everywhere.

The lock for the outside door was a little hard to open.

Very good location, there is enough space in the appartement and is clean and comfortable.

The wc are quite tight, you need to accommodate with the space 😅 The building key needs to be replaced, you need to move it up and down to open.

This is a good property with located at a great central point. The price is good and I would stay at the same property again.

The disadvantage is that the bathroom is very small.

Great size room with comfy bed. Right in the heart of Plaka and just a short walk from the Acropolis and lots of restaurants. Good communication response times from the owner on arrival.

Bathroom was tiny, needs the wall moving to give more space and then this accomodation would be 100% perfect.
