Comfort in Athens

The location was superb. It had all the facilities, was very comfortable and clean. There was good wifi and airconditioning. Sylvia’s personal welcome was much appreciated including a welcome basket after a long trip to the apartment. She was very responsive to messages and gave lovely recommendations for where to eat.

Great place in a super spot!

We loved absolutely everything about our stay at Sylvia’s studio apartment! First of all, what a fabulous location! Charming Plaka is just around the corner and it is also a very short walk to the Acropolis, a glimpse of which we could catch from our balcony if we leant out and looked to the left. The studio itself was very quiet and clean and roomy with a super comfy bed and great hanging space. Attached to the room is a little area in front of the nice private bathroom with tea and coffee making facilities. We really enjoyed meeting Sylvia who was one of the nicest hosts we’ve ever had and who was there to give us a very warm welcome and a thorough rundown of the place. She also gave us heaps of fabulous recommendations for places to eat and things to do. Don’t miss the Athens Free Tour which we found to be excellent and a great way to orient ourselves in the city. Highly recommend staying at Sylvia’s — we will most certainly return next time we’re lucky enough to visit Athens again!

Excellent comfortable apartment in a great Ccentral location with a lovely helpful host.

Excellent location. Sylvia our host was lovely and couldn't have been more helpful, she recommended areas to visit, places to go to eat and the best walking tour of Athens. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed including tea/coffee and snacks. The bed was very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay in Athens and would highly recommend this apartment for location, comfort and value.

Sylvia was a very kind and welcoming host. She allowed us to leave our luggage at the property well before check-in, which was extremely helpful. The house was cosy, very clean, and comfortable. Sylvia also left some treats for us, which was a very thoughtful and kind gesture. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend this place!

Great Value, Location and Host!

The place is spotless and 10.min walk from almost everything, the appliances worked all fine, even the hair dryer was strong!, the blinders in the rooms are great for that afternoon nap...Plus the host was a sweet heart, the place was safe.

Fantastic apartment in Plaka

The apartment was modern and clean with great treats and provisions that Sylvia provided. Sylvia was a great host, available for needed advice and for check in. You could not find a better location than this apartment. Within walking distance to the Acropolis and many other sites. Close to public transport and many great restaurants in Plaka and surrounds. We enjoyed our stay very much.

We had an amazing stay at this apartment in Athens and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the city. The location could not have been better — right in the heart of the city and within walking distance to everything: restaurants, cafés, shops, attractions, and public transport. The apartment itself was spotless, very comfortable, and exactly as described. A special THANK YOU to Sylvia, who was truly an exceptional host. She was warm, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. Communication was smooth throughout our stay, and she went above and beyond by sharing fantastic recommendations for restaurants and local spots, which made our trip even better. We would happily stay here again!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great stay in the centre of Athens

This was the 2nd time we had stayed at these apartments and it won’t be the last. We stayed in the library apartment which was comfortable, modern and spotlessly clean. We slept so well! The welcome pack was amazing plus Sylvia had thoughtfully done extra shopping for us as we arrived on Easter Sunday and the shops were closed. The bathroom and kitchen were well equipped and we had no problem with hot water. The location is perfect, situated midway between the main Syntagma Square and the Plaka area and all the major sites such as the Acropolis are within easy walking distance. There is a supermarket about 5 minutes walk away. Sylvia is very kind and helpful, easily reachable on WhatsApp but is often at the apartments too and goes out of her way to make sure you have the best time in Athens.

Perfectly located within walking distance of great restaurants, bars, and shopping streets, yet still quiet and peaceful. The beds were extremely comfortable, making it easy to relax after a day out. There’s also a spacious, lovely balcony, though unfortunately the weather was too cold for us to fully enjoy it. Sylvia was incredibly welcoming. We would definitely choose to stay here again on our next visit to Athens.

The Worst Accommodation Experiences I Have!

Our stay was extremely disappointing and, personally, one of the worst accommodation experiences we have had. The most serious problem was the lack of reliable hot water. During our stay, the water tank did not provide hot water, and the electric water heater also failed to resolve the issue. In 2026, encountering such a basic problem in a property at this price level is very hard to understand and completely unacceptable. Unfortunately, the host’s response made the situation even worse. In our experience, communication was poor, dismissive, and lacking empathy. Instead of showing any genuine concern or taking proper responsibility for the inconvenience, we were told that we could find another place to stay if we wished. As guests dealing with a serious issue, we found that response deeply upsetting and inappropriate. There were also other important comfort problems. The apartment appeared to have very poor insulation, with continuous street noise from outside. It was also difficult to keep the apartment warm without running both the air conditioner and a separate electric heater, and both devices were noisy. In addition, we noticed flies inside the apartment. Based on our experience, I would strongly not recommend staying here. The price does not match the quality, comfort, or level of hospitality provided.

Excellent stay in a perfect location. Clean, spacious apartment within easy reach of the Acropolis, Plaka, and Syntagma,

We had a fantastic stay at this apartment in Athens. The space was clean, spacious, and very comfortable, making it perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the city. The location is excellent — within easy reach of the Acropolis, Plaka, and Syntagma, with plenty of great restaurants nearby, which made getting around and finding good food very convenient. The owner was incredibly attentive and thoughtful throughout our stay. They provided helpful information about the local area, including recommendations on where to eat and what to see, which made our trip even more enjoyable. We really appreciated the welcome touches — there was food, water in the fridge, as well as breakfast items and snacks ready for us on arrival. It made a big difference, especially after travelling. A special mention for the natural toiletry products and the provision of dishwashing and laundry liquids. These are often not included in other places, and it was so convenient not having to buy single-use products during a short stay. Sylvia also checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed, which made us feel very well looked after. Overall, a thoughtful, well-equipped, and welcoming place to stay — we would highly recommend it and would happily return.
