I stayed in 2 different apartments on a recent trip to Greece. Both were clean, comfortable and well furnished though not luxurious. Security is good. The location is great, five minutes from Syntagma Square and close to the ancient centre. The neighbourhood immediately around the building doe not look attractive, especially at night, but I think is in fact reasonably safe. The "kitchenettes" do vary--one had fridge, kettle, coffee maker, 2 ring cooker top and sink; the other had neither sink nor cooker.

Super spacious and convenient. Check in and out were "interesting" as this seems more like an airbnb/vrbo with part time staff. Friendly, but for example check out at 11am, staff not there until 12noon. Their luggage storage was not systematic and I think not secure. There was a commercial luggage storage business right down street, but fairly pricey.

Older building but nicely updated apartments. You really can’t go wrong here. The location is perfect, staff is very nice, and is a bargain. Walk to hundreds of great shops and restaurants including walking distance to Acropolis. Take the X95 bus from the airport because it drops you off just steps away. Will be back for a longer stay!

Bed was hard as a rock. Shower room ceiling paint badly peeling. Dark mold in shower bottom. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate this propery a 4. We had booked for 4 nights but changed to another hotel as we got no sleep and the condition was misrepresented. CK would not refund for the 3 nights we did not stay there.

It was not clear from the photos that this room was a basement apartment and while there were windows they really weren’t anything more then filtered light so the flat was like a box and it was just outside a computer area were other guests could be heard as though they were in the room. The staff was great, location ideal and room was clean. If our room was up off the ground floor I would recommend to anyone but for me, it was uncomfortable. Fine for one night

Liked: Cleanliness
room was good considering the cheap price and the location is very central. there was air conditioning and clean towels and sheets. would recommend for people who need to stay shortly in a cenrtral location for a cheap price. the appartment´s windows dont get any sun since they face walls so you need to have lights on at all times. also its a bit noisy at night for a light sleeper.
