The external stairs to reach the loft from the fifth floor are stable but small and a bit scaring if you are not used to them, especially when you carry your luggage. It's a pity that some water for the shower is lost leaking on the wall of the shower box.

The strong points are the big terrace and the amazing view of the Acropolis, especially at night! Overall the loft is small but the space is very well organized exploiting in a smart, functional and charming way every available spot. The bed is very comfortable. The host Alex gives very clear indications, he's always available and extremely helpful!

The main negative would be that to leave you have to enter the 5th floor of the building only after descending the metal stairs and have to use a key to open the door to the main building. This is concerning in the event of a fire as there appears to be no other exit. The apartment is ready for a freshen up with paint and the flooring around the kitchenette area is not ideal as crumbs etc. can drop down the gaps in the flooring. The kitchenette is very small but we managed. The final metal staircase is precarious but we knew that, so long as you're fit and good on your feet there's no issue, having the apartment at the top of the building is after all what provides the excellent view.

Our host provided good communication regarding checking in and out and by chance met us at the door when we got the keys from the lockbox. He escorted us to the room & gave some information. The view of the Acropolis is stunning, we didn't need to go to any roof top bars, drinks on our own veranda were excellent. There are two small supermarkets just a few minutes walk away & of course all of the major sites are within walking distance. The room was an adequate size and had much needed aircon as the sun can make it into a greenhouse otherwise. The bed was very comfortable.

Could have used a bedside light on each side of bed.

Fantastic location. Superb host! Very good transport links.

As the room is an extra dwelling on the roof, it is only accessible by a fragile emergency steps on the outside of the property with only an open hand bar. We did note that from previous reviews but we did not anticipate that it was that unsafe, especially when it rained. The owner did offer to carry our luggage up but it was up to ourselves to get all our luggage down on a rainy day. The room is a bit small with the price, the bathroom is a bit crampy too. The floor of the room is just metallic deck planks. However we did enjoy our stay but we do think much upgrading works should be done with the price tags.

Excellent location with great view of the acropolis. Actually the room is an extra dwelling on the roof with a small rooftop garden. Room comes with a small kitchenette which you can prepare simple meals.

Last set of stairs to the loft are a bit narrow and if you have big luggage is a bit of a hassle. Worth it, just plan accordingly to haul luggage up those stairs. Also recommend some additional blankets in the room.

Location is excellent for visiting the acropolis and the sites around it. Great view of the acropolis from the loft. Unbeatable. Definetively recommend for the view and location.

Beautiful terrace, kitchen is well equipped. Bed is super comfy!

Amazing view of the Acropolis!

The Eye Loft is situated in the middle of Athens so it was a great location to base ourselves as most of the tourist attractions were in walking distance. The view of the Acropolis from the apartment was amazing the photos don't do it justice. Alexandros was a very friendly and welcoming host. A couple of things to note... the steps up to the Eye Loft are very steep and aren't ideal for those with mobility issues or those who may be scared of heights (see photo). The second is that because of the location in the heart of Athens you can hear the music from the bars and restaurants. We did manage to sleep and it wouldn't put us off returning as the views and location were exceptional.

There were few minor issues with the facilities such as the unhinged kitchen cupboard door, kettle lid not closing properly, loose toilet seat, and shower handset not working. Although few facilities needed repair, they didn't detract from our overall great experience and enjoyment of the property.

The view is spectacular. The terrace was the highlight of our stay - a lovely place to sit with a drink at night admiring the Acropolis. The property is located in the heart of the city accessible to all attractions. We will return in a heartbeat!

A cosy flat in the heart of Athens with beautiful panorama to the Parthenon. Every must see places within walking distance, we used metro only to and from the sea and the airport. Alexandros is a helpful host, thank you for that.

Only the shower that was small but did not disturbed me at all and have hot water all the time.

Best Location, very good value for money, a prfect balcony with prfect view. Nice host. A great bar just under the entrance. Peace and quiet in the apartment. Close supermarkets. Will be back for sure.

The view from the flat and terrace was absolutely amazing.

Can't think of anything!

Property was perched atop a 5 story building with views in every direction and overlooking the Acropolis. Outdoor space was beautiful, and the host was very responsive and helpful!

Lovely apartment with an amazing view to the Acropolis. The location is perfect, only 2 minutes walk from Monastiraki square, really easy to find it. Alexandros is a great host, always ready to help you. I definitely recommend this place!

Hot water in the shower was really unstable, one minute hot another one cold.

Perfect spot, near city centre. Really private, romantic loft with a worderful view.

During windy days, there is not enough shelter on the terrace but this may not be a problem depending on the season which you are travelling.

The view to the Acropolis hill is superb! Alexandros, the host, is very helpful and very kind. I have loved the accommodation more than a luxury hotel without any balcony or view.

The location of the apartment was just perfect. You can reach everything by foot in a few minutes; metro, supermarkets, many good restaurants, the Plaka and more. It was super cozy and very well-equipped and the view was just breathtaking. You should definitely visit Kuko's Bar in front of the house, the pancakes there tastes fantastic ;-) Alexandros was the perfect host and we will come back for sure. Thank you for the great stay! :-)

we loved our stay here ! The view incredible!!! Best in the city! Acropolis by day and night ! Clean, safe ! Amazing host, very helpful ! Located very central, close to restaurants/ shops and tourism!

As others have said steps to the room are v steep and narrow. There is a lift to 5th floor then you go outside to access the apartment and up the steps so not suitable if you have mobility issues. Only 4 hangers on a small rail so bring extra if you need them.

Amazing location. Wonderful host who was helpful and even offered to buy a more powerful hair dryer if required. Central heating so the apartment was always warm. Good shower and plenty of hot water. Clean and well equipped-hairdryer and basic toiletries. Beautiful outdoor space even big enough to do a little home workout

Very good location, 3 min walk from train and blue line metro, 5 min walk from red line metro and main square-Syntagma, 1 min walk from pharmacy and 1 minute from a big supermarket. Even though it is on a very central spot full of buzzing life, the room with closed door is pretty quite! Excellent very close view of the good side of Acropolis without the usual scaffolding. Very hospitable owner and very easy to approach whenever in the day needed.

The access stairs to rooftop, especially if one is afraid of height like myself. I only got this info in the confirmation email, after having booked. Small yet important detail :)

The view to Acropolis is breathtaking, especially at night. Alexandros is a very helpful host.
