We had a truly wonderful stay at the Koukaki Residence. It is beautiful! Kosta was amazing and oriented us to the whole area pointing out great dining options and sights to see. He also helped arrange our taxi back to the airport. We were able to walk to so many amazing sights. It was an outstanding experience.

We thought the location was excellent. In a nice residential neighborhood and a 20 minute walk to the tourist areas (Acropolis museum, Plaka). Kosta was great and gave us good tips for eating and drinking. Amazing pop up street market on Friday right outside the front door. Nice room and comfortable bed. Thanks!

Great place to stay in Athens

We truly enjoyed our stay. The w bedroom apartment was spacious and very comfortable. The beds were very comfortable, the AC was cold and the WiFi worked great. The bathroom and kitchen were excellent. The small outside patio area was very nice. This was a great location, just a short walk to the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum. The meetup station was nearby and lots of bars, restaurants, coffee cafes, and markets nearby. We felt very safe walking around the neighborhood day and night. Highly recommend!

Property was fabulous. On a hill which was difficult for us as we are older. Lots of great eating places but no shopping. We were so happy that taxis were arranged for us both to the acropolis and the airport. This meant a lot to us. Lovely apartment.

Big and roomy in good location

Costas the manager is extremely helpful and kind. The location is quiet with easy access to all the major sites. The AC works very well. We stayed in the gardenia suite which is spacious and perfect for stretching out with 2 balconies. The only challenges were the tub is set high so if you are shorter it’s tricky to get in and out and can be slippery. It’s on the 3rd floor with no elevator so not good for those with mobility issues. Would absolutely consider staying here again though.

Great location and very responsive property manager. Smooth check-in process. We stayed in the Jasmine suite. Check the property website before booking for more details, such as room location, etc. Generally in good shape and clean. Bathroom is the only exception. It is small with handheld shower, and has seen better days. Heads up, the twin beds may work for younger kids but not comfortable for our teenager and adult kids. Also the second bedroom is not what you may expect- it is a half wall with curtains. Cute outdoor garden. The kitchen has all the basics you need.

The property was great and Konstantino was amazing. Super nice and helpful, answered our questions whenever we had them and responded to all communication including arranging our airport transfers. Great property for families. Our only issue was in order for hot water you had to press a button and wait 40min for only about 5min of hot water to shower. Not very convenient for a family if 4 with 2 teenagers.

Koukaki residence checked all our boxes. Would definitely stay there again.. The property manager, Kosta, was great. He gave us a little sit down on arrival and walked us through some recommendations on to-dos and to-avoids in Athens.. He was also very responsive to texts. The apartment was clean, quiet and comfortable. It was also very conveniently located relatively close to a metro & tram stop, plenty of wonderful restaurants, and of course the main attraction up on that hill.. There was also a wonderful market that pops up in the street in front of the apartment every Friday with fresh fruit, veggies, flowers, etc. We had just a marvelous experience on our 3 day/night stay. Highly recommend. Thanks Kosta (John & Mary from Ohio)!!

We absolutely adored our stay at this property! After traveling from Italy and Mykonos, this stay was one of the highlights of our trip. Kostas at the property was very accommodating and went above and beyond for us. When our ferry got delayed and delayed our arranged pick-up from the port, he made arrangements to have a taxi pick us up promptly. Upon arrival he took the time to show us how everything in the room worked, and even sat down to show us the best sites to see in the area, restaurant and bar recommendations, you name it! He even went as far as sending us links to every place he recommended. At the end of our trip he checked in to see if we needed a ride to the airport too. The property itself is charming and unique! With a lovely courtyard and in a quiet part of the city, still walking distance from all the sites!

Ideal Place in Athens

Perfect place to stay in Athens. Konstantinos - the owner - was responsive to my inquiries and prepared a round-trip airport-hotel transfer service for me. Walking distance to major attractions: 10 minutes to the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum, 15 minutes to Plaka, 20 minutes to Monastiraki and 20 minutes to Syntagma Square. Plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, bars and supermarkets/groceries in the neighborhood. I had the Daphne room which was spacious and clean, with comfortable bed, pillows and blankets, functioning hot showers, temperature control, dining table and chairs, sofa, cabinet, electric kettle, nespresso machine and fridge, plates, glasses, spoons, forks, knives, coffee and tea. I was given orange juice and bottled water as welcome/complimentary items. Tap water was potable. Place is highly maintained because it is a family property handed down from the grandmother. There is an open area with tables and chairs around a lemon tree - perfect for relaxation with coffee or tea. Highly recommended! Thank you, Konstantinos.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication
The apartment specially floors were dirty. Not enough towels and toilet paper for four people. One of the bedrooms window opens to a street. At 4 am on Friday morning we woke from loud noises on the street while people were setting up a farmers market right by our window, which took until 8 am. On Saturday morning, we woke up from loud construction noise across the street. We were given only one key to the apartment for the four of us. One night we left the key inside the apartment so we could t get in. I called the property manager who first said there were no other keys. Half an hour later, the property owner who lives above the apartment we were staying at, came out and opened the door with her key. We were stunned why the property owner who saw us earlier and knew we were locked out didn’t open the door for us sooner. The street the apartment is located at is rundown and depressing. Overall bad customer service. Location is at least 20-30 minutes from main attractions. We did get one night of refund from Expedia.
