Lovely!
Pros: The apartment is lovely! The owners replied to messages very quickly, sent all the instructions one day before arrival, and shared great recommendations for restaurants and the city. You can find everything you need in the apartment. The fridge is located in one of the black-front cabinets. There are several coffee machines, coffee, all necessary kitchen equipment, and a hair dryer (separate ones for curly and straight hair, which was a nice touch). Although the apartment is in the basement, there is no smell at all, and the small garden creates a very cozy atmosphere. The location is incredible—we didn’t use any public transportation and walked everywhere to the main neighborhoods. The Acropolis is only an 8-minute walk away. Overall, the apartment was very clean, and we loved our stay!
Cons: The only downside is that the sofa in the living room does not fully open into a proper bed, so it is not very comfortable if you plan to use it for sleeping. However, all the bed linens and bedding in the apartment were extremely clean and perfectly ironed.

Pros: Great location, not far from metro. Super close to Acropolis. Fantastic cafe two doors down. and plenty of other places for eats and drinks. Walking distance to everything. Amenity in the apartment was great and had everything there for a long stay. Although sunken below road had a courtyard and was quite and private.
Cons: The shower wasn't always hot and so had only short showers and you have to manually turn it on each time which is a bit a pain. Shower was also very tiny and cramped.

Great stay in the heart of Athens
Pros: Great location to get to all places within Athens. The apartment was very clean and well equipped. The communication was great with quick responses to any queries and also provided information on local places to try. Would highly recommend.

A comfortable stay with good facilities, perfect location and friendly and helpful communication with the hosts
Pros: Perfect location, close to Acropolis, shops, restaurants and hop-on hop-off bus, comfortable and spacious, good facilities
Cons: Everything was good but if I was to find something: mosquitos in the apartment but fortunately they provided insect spray and we would have liked newer plusher towels.

Fully equipped apartment next to Acropolis
Pros: We were staying at Home away from Home for the second time, and plan to continue use this accommodation in the future: perfect location, fully equipped apartment, clean and comfortable, great communication with the hosts, and some additional services (as reliable transfer from airport, suggestions on local caffès, etc.) make this option our priority destination in Athens. Thank you Merita and George!

Fabulous home - it is well named. I hope to stay there again the next time I visit Athens.
Pros: Everything. Beautiful and comfortable renovated home. Absolutely perfect! I wish I could have stayed longer. Wonderful location with many eateries and the trendy coffee shops (with great coffee!) nearby.
Cons: The hot water system is not the best. It turns off on you - or it runs out of hot water, before you can finish washing your hair.

Fantastic for a city break.
Pros: Great facilities and utilities for any need. Brilliant location. Very comfortable and homely. Fantastic coffee shop around the corner from this property! Would highly recommend to stay within Athens where you’re close to Plaka, and some brilliant places to visit, but within a quiet area.
Cons: The courtyard was great but completely shaded from the sun which was fine for us as we were rarely sat outside. However when we were, there were a lot of flies (maybe could get some bug repellent candles). The shower also needed a 20min warming period otherwise was very cold.

Pros: Very clean modern basement apartment in great location for restaurants and shops. Acropolis about 400m walk at top of street, shops and restaurants about 100m down street. Short and easy stroll to Attica district. Didn't meet hosts personally during our 4 day stay but very clear communication. I'm sure would attend to any requests.
Cons: Only small negative is the size of shower recess - don't drop the soap as you have to get out to pick up, but positives are many and we would definitely stay again.
