Under the Rock of Acropolis

Do not book! Negative: The room is not as advertised, and we’re unable to stay there—especially after noticing the warning sign near the entrance. The listing shows windows with natural light, but the actual room is located two floors below ground level. There is a warning sign near the door that reads “Do not enter after this point.” The property is listed as a 4-star apartment, yet we were informed that the geyser must be turned on 30 minutes before use, which is unacceptable—properties with even lower ratings typically offer better facilities. The room has a strong, unpleasant odor. The property refused us cancellation and refund in spite of this. We had to book a last minute expensive hotel since this was unlivable.

Appartement un peu vieillot mais très bien si on ne fait qu'y dormir. Positive: Proximité de l'Acropole et des restaurants, quartier calme. Facilité pour récupérer les clés dans une boîte à clés (explications très claires fournies sous forme de vidéo). Très bonne literie. Negative: Cet appartement est situé au bas d'un immeuble et donne sur une cour intérieure à la végétation un peu "sauvage". Il est assez "vieillot", plutôt sombre et un peu retapé à la va-vite, mais nous a convenu car nous n'y avons passé qu'une seule nuit (et la literie est d'excellente qualité). Pour un séjour plus long, ça aurait été moins agréable, d'autant plus que les possibilités de cuisiner sur place sont réduites au strict minimum.

Positive: Blisko do atrakcji turystycznych w centrum. Negative: Zdjęcia poddano retuszowi przez co nie oddają faktycznego stanu tego miejsca. W rzeczywistości w apartamencie panował pół mrok nawet przy wyłączonym oświetleniu. Po wejściu do apartamentu wyczuwalny był smród dymu papierosowego, w doniczce pety.

Positive: I would like to share my impressions of this house: The location is about a 3.5-hour drive from Athens. The house is right on the waterfront in a small village, with direct access to the sea. Just 50 meters away there is a quiet, natural beach with medium-sized stones that are not sharp, so you can enter the water without special shoes. Within walking distance you will find several good restaurants and local taverns, as well as the opportunity to buy fresh fruits and vegetables every morning from local farmers. The house itself is very well designed and equipped with everything you might need. The interior is tastefully decorated with great attention to detail. It feels less like a typical tourist rental and more like a real home with a soul — and I think the hosts have truly succeeded in this. Everything was also spotlessly clean, down to the smallest details. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Positive: L'emplacement Negative: Un lit défectueux
