We stayed in Athens for 3 nights.
Positive things first: it was mostly very clean and the location is in the middle of Athens. You can reach all the sightseeing spots in 5-15 minutes by walking.
Negative things:
1. some spots weren’t really cleaned, there was a lot of dust on the ac, the paintings and the closet. Also there was a dirty corner spot beside the shower. But all in all I would say the cleanliness was good.
2. there are a lot of holes. An open power socket/or open socket for tv, holes for bathroom appliances to put your stuff on (without the appliances), beside the sink there is a wall mount for the towel holder but no towel holder ,just the wall mount.
3. the bathroom bin has to be opened by hand because the foot opener is missing…
4. there is no power outlet in the bathroom!!! Or anywhere else close to a mirror. So you can not shave or dry your hair in front of a mirror
5. the sink drain is defect!! The pin for opening or closing the sink drain is missing so the sink drain is always in the closed position - rendering it useless, you have to take it off.
6. there is an iron but it is broken,so it leaks water and also there is no ironing board, so it’s basically useless
7. Security issues: the door to the apartment complex is closed in the evening/night but the lock is so bent that you can open it with a slight push. Also the locking mechanisms of the apartment door are faulty. The door lock is jammed sometimes and from the inside the extra safety lock is missing… there is just a small metal bar which can be broken with a small screwdriver in 2 seconds.
8. it is very load. This is an air bnb apartment complex . There are no natives here . Only tourists which are always coming and going. The walls are very thin. We always woke up with the morning cough of our neighbor.
This apartment situation is not normal in Athens! We talked to locals and they were surprised . The apartment is just a means to make fast money. If you don’t care about anything and just want a room to stay this might be the right spot for you. But I would never recommend it or come back again.
