  : The view; by itself it was worth staying there. Fantastic view of Acropolis. Great during the day, breathtaking at night. Has two elevators. Rooftop patio very nice. A number of good restaurants and a convenience store right next door.
  : Took two days to figure out how to work the stove; instructions for stove and washer would have helped. Apartment looks lived in; cabinets chipped, cracked tiles, etc. Toilets tended to run unless you jiggle pad. This did not really take away from experience, just noting it.

  : Alexander's Penthouse was fantastic, balcony on 2 sides and views of the Acropolis and Zeus temple. Apartment large and had everything needed. It was in a very central location and communition was excellent with clear entry instructions. Good value for money. We would definitely stay again
  : Nothing

Very Poor
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : Central apartment
  : - workmen on our "private balcony" meaning they could see straight into our bedroom, invading our privacy and we had to keep shutters down. - workmen on our balcony meant we couldn't use it. They had ladders and large machinery up there.- workmen started work on our balcony at 8am in the morning - banging/shouting right outside our bedroom (which was 6am UK time which we were accustomed to as it was a short trip) - the shower did not work, no shower holder, no bath plug which functioned meaning you sit in the bath trying to shower yourself each morning. No shower curtain to stop water going everywhere. - be warned, shower is scolding hot if someone uses the tap, I badly burnt myself. - Bath tub is pealing as well which is way below standard for price. - offered partial refund but I wouldn't pay ANYTHING to stay somewhere with no privacy and no functioning shower.

  : Views are incredible and location is perfect, you couldnt be more centrally located to all of the sights. Apartment is spacious and bedrooms come with air conditioning.
  : The property is a little dated but perfectly serviceable. The big problem for us, which is not really the fault of the owner, was that there was a very loud rooftop rave occurring on the building next door. There was a DJ, extremely loud music and lights blasting music until 4am! This made it really impossible to sleep and disturbed all of our sleep ahead of a 6am start for our flight. Im not sure if this was a one off event but it unfortunately ruined our stay here.

  : Excellent location, easy check-in and the views from the huge balcony were incredible. Kitchen was tiny but well stocked. Strong air conditioning. Bed was very comfortable.
  : The bath/shower was missing the glass or curtain so water got everywhere in the bathroom. There is noticeable road noise, considering the location it's to be expected. Bring earplugs. It's not 100% clear which apartment you are booking from the pictures.

  : Location is great, within walking distance to acropolis
  : The room presents poorly and is very small, the bath tub paint was peeling at the bottom, which stuck to my feet after showering. Further there were no shower curtains or doors (despite photos showing a functional shower) so you can't shower/wash your hair without getting the whole room wet. We were told the day prior to arrival there would be people doing works on the balcony for a day or two. However, equipment was left on the 'private' balcony for our entire 3 night 4 days stay and we could not use the balcony. It was a very uncomfortable stay for 2, definitely do not recommend.
