Very central, lovely appartment within walking distance of bus tour and acropolis. Though nightclubs were a bit noisy and close by, be prepared to be woken up or bring ear muffs. There was a problem with our hot water, but that was rectified promptly.

They will absolutely cancel on you last minute. On the very morning of our stay - my traveling with my elderly mother and young son, and I get a notification from the property that they canceled our fully-paid booking. I called. Their explanation? “Electrical problem”. But seeing as how another recent review states that their reservation was also canceled at the last minute because of “overbooking”, I’ll leave it to you to decide if you trust that story. Beware. Whatever reason they give you, and whatever you want to believe, cancellations will happen here at the last minute. They do nothing to help make up for it except apologize.

We were a group of 8 so booked a 3 bed apartment and a 1 bed apartment. Not realising that the 3 bed had only 1 bathroom. To our surprise on the day of travel the owner said we could have 2 3 bed apartments instead so 4 in each which was great, apparently there was an issue with the 1 bed anyway. The apartments were a very good size. Decor/ cleanliness varied, ours was little outdated compared to the 5th floor apartment however we had everything we could possibly need. The location was excellent, in walking distance of everything. Loads of bars and restaurants around. The rooms were nice and we had our own little balconies. We couldn't get the hot water to stay on so had a few cold showers. The shower or toilet was also leaking so there was a small puddle accruing which we notified the owner of when he came to check if everything was ok (nice touch). The bar downstairs played very loud music until early hours on Saturday which was a little annoying for some of us. Other than the couple of small issues, for what we paid I would definitely stay here again and I would recommend.
