The apartment was a great location and the check in process was simple. We had a bit of an issue running all air conditioners and the water heater but otherwise it was a pretty comfortable stay.
The VRBO was close to famous sites, restaurants and shopping. The place was very clean and was big enough to comfortably accommodate a large group. There were only two of us so we were spoiled. The host did a great job of checking in and making sure we had what we need.ed.
What a great apartment in a wonderful neighborhood! Just as described it was homey, clean, easy check in and walkable to restaurants and attractions. The lift was especially helpful. Excellent apartment in the heart of Athens!
This apartment was surprisingly spacious for our group of 7. The apartment is located within a 5-10 minute walk from the Acropolis and some good restaurants and bars. There is also a nearby bus stop for the line that goes to the beach, which was approximately 15-20 minutes away.
We didnât cook during our stay, but the kitchen seemed to have a basic selection of cookware. A previous review mentioned bed bugs, but we had no problems with cleanliness during our stay. It seems like the property manager has done a thorough cleaning.
Overall, we had a lovely stay and really enjoyed the location in a more quiet part of town but still super close to the popular sights. We would definitely books this place again. Thanks for the wonderful stay!
We had 3 couples and 2 singles staying here and everyone was impressed with how clean, modern and we'll equipped the apartment was The location was excellent.
Summary:
I hate to write this because I know it can have a huge impact on the rental but I have to be honest. One bed was FULL OF BED BUGS. The host/manager was quick to reply to my message of the pics and video and refund me but having to find a taxi and new hotel for 4 rooms at midnight after seeing your bed covered in bed bugs was a terrible experience.
Full review:
Check in was easy with an email link to a PowerPoint explaining how to get in. Via the key in the lockbox at the front entrance. Elevator can be used to get luggage to room. Everything seemed like a normal mediocre Vrbo/Abnb other than the following:
-water heater/boilers . In all of Greece they use a solar heater to warm up the water which requires an electrical panel breaker to be turned on (for the electrical heater) as a back up if the sun isnât out (must be done about 1hr ahead of time) . This is slightly weird If you havenât experienced it before.
-Heaters/aC . Each room has a wall mount unit of which 2/5 werenât working properly. As a forewarning there is a few minute delay between setting the temp and it turning on (I experienced this in our other Vrbo so I assume itâs normal . Maybe for the heater circuit to warm up?)
Absolutely perfect location. Property manager was super helpful and very responsive. House was perfect and spacious. Had everything we needed. Canât recommend it enough!
I often stay in VRBO properties when I vacation. This was one of the best experiences we have ever had. Jenny was one of the most helpful property managers I have ever dealt with. She was always quick to answer any of my questions. She gave directions to find the subway, a place to get the covid tests, set up my transfers from the airport and to the cruise port, etc. The place was perfect! It was comfortable for my entire family which included my husband, my daughter and her boyfriend, and my son. Each couple got their own rooms and there was an air conditioner in each room which was perfect for the hot Athens days. The apartment was within walking distance of all we wanted to see in Athens-the historic district, the parliament building, the shopping district, and botanical gardens. The only reason why we are giving this apartment 5 stars is because 6 stars was not an option. Loved this place and hope to return one day!
This was a perfect place for our family of 5. Very spacious and in a perfect location for walking. Everything as described with no surprises.
Loved the roller shades in the bedrooms! Allowed us the darkness to sleep in. BookâŠyou wonât regret it
great location for walking to historic sites and Plaka for dinner. airport service was arranged for us and made getting to the property easy and manager was there to meet us and let us in and get us going.
We were welcomed on time and found the apartment to be well appointed. The location is very well placed for the Acropolis and the museum.
Nice and quiet for sleeping.
Met all of our needs.
