Short stay in Athens
Spacious room in the middle of Athens with a small kitchen and bathroom. Easy self checkin. Reception is about a 2 minute walk away in a different building, everyone there was very friendly!
Since it was located on a busy street full of restaurants, it was a bit noisy. However they provided earplugs and it didn't bother me too much at night 😊

Central, secure, clean, comfortable wish we could have stayed longer.
The location was in the heart of cafe restaurant area. It was in walking distance of all major attractions. It was very close to local train station. The host was very responsive by email. The place felt very secure. There was very detailed information provided about accessing the building.
Nothing.

I had a great stay with my sister in this beautiful modern apartment studio #5. The location was fantastic right in the center and close to everything and all important sites. The staff is very nice and accommodating. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to my friends.

Beautiful place. Highly recommend
In the middle of the citycenter. Amazing stay. Easy access and a nice room.
Nothing. Be aware it can be noisy outside. We didn’t bother because it gives a vibe as well.

Me and my friends had an excellent experience with Live in Athens! Their team was very supportive and always ready to help us. From answering questions about our accommodation to giving advice on where to eat and drink while in Athens, we knew we could count on them. Our room was very cozy and super clean (the bathroom amenities like shampoo and soap smell really great hahaha bonus point for that), with awesome location. Wifi was working really well. We will def. reach out to them once we get back to Athens! Super recommended.
Noting to add. Everything was great with our experience.

Pleasant and relaxing
Location, cleanliness
Outside noise. The flat overlooks a busy street with restaurants. These stay open to about 12 midnight during the week and about 3am at weekends. I can sleep through anything, but a lighter sleeper would have struggled.

The location is perfect! The apartment was pretty clean and comfortable. Maria was very helpful.
The apartment we stayed in doesn’t have a window. That was a bit discomfort, however it was okay for 2 nights stay.

We enjoyed
Location in the heart of a lively neighborhood, steps from so many cafes, bars, restaurants. Views from the top floor terrace are special. Comfortable furnishings and great air conditioning. Apartment decor has a cool, youthful vibe. Maria in reception was so friendly and a great source of advice for visiting the city sights.
Stairs to the apartment could be difficult to manage with heavy luggage. Street noise and music was loud at night til 2am but good windows, shutters and the supplied earplugs helped.

Great overall. Staff were the best
Super responsive and friendly staff! Location is in the vibrant center of Athens, near all cafés and pubs.
Although the room was clean, the bathroom and kitchen were a bit old.

Avoid this apartments’ company. they don’t value you as customer. zero hospitality skills from their staff.
neighborhood is nice but not the street where property is located
in short words, these people mislead travelers in all aspects. property that is advertised, is not the one you get. these people have many buildings around and they just push you like cattle to whatever apartment is available when you arrive. there was no hot water. apartment given to us was in street extremely noisy. during weekends is like a carnaval happening until 4 - 5 in the morning. the hostess lacked empathy and hospitality skills, turning into almost rude. they even send you an email saying that if in need of information of areas to visit or what to do in Athens, it will cost you $40 euros. seriously? the whole company/business is a ripoff. I travel for work and what happened to me here, happens in many places around the world, but we users need to denounce the companies that do these improper business and warn future travelers to avoid this company until they fix their way to do business and recover travelers trust.

A dreamy place to be.
Centrally located is Psyri, which for me felt perfect, but might be considered loud for those of you who are more vulnerable to sounds. It’s really among vibrant area of bars and restaurants. Spacious. Clean. Well equipped. Comfortable bed. Dreamy shared terrace with stunning views. Private balcony. Amazingly helpful staff. I knew the moment I saw it first in the photos - it’s my place in town. And it was even better in real. I will be back 😊

Awesome stay!
The location was exquisite and we were walking (day or night) for all our entertainment choices. Really convenient and living in the centre exactly. Also, the room was really warm, so we didn't have an issue at all in terms of temperature. They also provided us with earplugs in case of the nightlife style in the centre was annoying (we actually enjoyed the music and all the lifestyle around there). The staff was helpful and eager to help us with any question or request, which is of huge importance to feeling comfortable
There are always things to improve in an apartment, but pricing plays an important role here. For this context, the location, warmth and facilities were more than perfect. A few details such as the lack of a good body gel shower, or a mop in the scenario of water slipping out of the shower, or the "ticking" noise of the heater could be improved, however, I am not complaining as those were minor details that could make the whole experience reach perfection

Excellent location with an exceptional price and room quality
Excellent location! Excellent location! Excellent location! Well-equipped kitchen, clean and comfortable bed, good Wifi, helpful staff, relatively cheap
Facilities in the toilet are a bit obsolete, and there are ants on the toilet floor during the first two nights. Besides, as my room is located at the ground floor and near the entrance, I can hear the noise outside and people walking and chatting at the night.

Clean and spaceous property at a great location to explore the city
Fantastic location to visit the beautiful city of Athens. The key historic places are on walking distance and the metro is few minutes of a walk away. Plenty of restaurants nearby. We stayed at the flat with a family of four: just perfect!
Nothing really - we were prepared for some noise from the street during the night, and for those not prepared, ear plugs were provided on the pillows ;-).

Location was great if you like lots of activity. The shutters work well to keep the noise level down as it goes into the early hours of the morning. Well equipped apartment.
Balcony furniture needs improvement. Be aware that there are stairs to navigate.

Conveniently placed, easy access and comfortable. it had all the amenities we needed.
it was very close to a very noisy bar and the thoughtfully left earplugs didn’t make much difference.

Decent stay in central Athens!
Location - very central. Felt secure and there was no isssue with C/I. Lovely that they gave you complimentary earplugs in case the noise from the tavern/street outside is troublesome.
Nothing exceptional in terms of facilities/ lack of windows (that you can open for fresh air - not just light) can be a bit dissapointing but it was fine in the end.

Excellent location and helpful staff, but some rooms seem a lot better than others.
Excellent location with lots of bars, restaurants, cafes, etc right on the doorstep and all around. It is also very easy to walk to the majority of the tourist attractions in the city centre. The staff were all amazing, from checking in information, to being on hand for information. I also left some items in the room by accident and the staff helped me get the back with no problem at all.
The room we had wasn't in any of the pictures on the website and we felt misled by the layout/facilities, and the fact that we didn't have a balcony/terrace, despite several being shown on the booking page. The kitchenette facilities also weren't up to the standard we were expecting from the photos.

Amazing location if you want to be in the middle of the Psyrri area
8 July 2022
Easy to access many places.
The apartment was near a square and easy to walk to places to eat, historical sites and laundry.
The apartment was above a very busy street with much music, singing and talking. The shower was too small and it was difficult to maneuver within the space. The balcony for the apartment was small and not easy to sit on, nor was there a view to look at. The shared roof terrace could be more user friendly - it seemed a bit run down.

Central location, close to Monastiraki and the Acropolis. Great apartment, well-equipped. Staff are great, and communication was superb.
It can get noisy on weekends because of the neighbourhood (Psyrri) but I had no trouble getting to sleep. They provided earplugs but I didn't need them.
25 June 2022
Great neighborhood, great staff, great stay!
Fun, lively location, but be prepared for late night noise from the restaurants/bars below. Ear plugs provided, which did the trick to allow us to sleep through it. But, especially if this is your scene, fantastic location for staying up and out late! Great little rooftop seating with peak of the Acropolis! Rental agency located just below the unit next door and staff is super friendly and accommodating. Great convenient location with walking to great shopping and tourist locations. Highly recommend checking out the open air, rooftop production of “Medea and Other Friends I Made In Athens” - live performance with ancient greek drama context + back drop of the Acropolis!

Superb location right in central Psyrri. Beautiful small balcony just off the apartment which we spent a lot of time on, then the large rooftop balcony which we didn’t spend much time on as it was very sunny! Easy to get keys on arrival, no need to call anyone.
The cowbell! 😩 Because the location is so fantastic, right in the center of the action, the band below plays their music until 2 or 3 in the morning, every night (not just weekends). It was so loud it was comical. But they provide earplugs and do warn you. One of our roller shutters didn’t work which exacerbated the problem. The beds were not super comfortable: not sure if it was a waterproof mattress protector maybe but I found myself quite hot most nights even with the AC on.

We'd be happy to stay here again.
The location was in the midst of a vibrant neighborhood full of bars and restaurants. We loved being in the middle of it all, and loved hearing the energy of the going-out crowds as it lulled us to sleep. But that won't be for everyone. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. The photos make it look far more high end than it is, instead it's a bit more geared toward the budget traveler or the long stay traveler. So it was perfect for us.
The photos make the apartment look a lot more high end than it is. It is super clean, and has all the tools and furniture you need, but everything is definitely more basic than the photos look. The roof terrace is lovely. But the hot water heater is located on the terrace and when it kicks in, it is loud. We booked the apartment for 3 nights, but were surprised that there were only 2 rolls of toilet paper provided. It seems a bit skimpy to expect short-stay guests to stock up on that.

Great location. Small and cozy room
The location of the apartment was the only reason I really booked it.
The complete lack of human presence, for any assistance of a human they would charge you extra, a small problem in the bathroom when you have a shower it tends to flood the floor.
