Charming apartment with the Best Location/View

This was our second time staying at this fantastic property, this time with our family of 5. The sofa folds out into what may be the most comfortable convertible bed we’ve experienced. The beds in the other two bedrooms were comfortable, and with the quiet part of town and room-darkening shutters, we slept well. Staying here made our short stay in Athens even better. We were close enough to walk to everything we wished to see. The spacious and well-stocked apartment is accompanied by a charming courtyard and stairs to the rooftop, where we thoroughly enjoyed the views of the city, Acropolis, and the neighboring outdoor movie while relaxing with our family. Our host was wonderful, check-in was easy, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Location

Spectacular Stay in the Heart of Athens!We absolutely loved our time at this beautiful property! The location couldn’t have been better—right in the heart of everything, just steps away from fantastic restaurants, bars, and a short walk to all the major attractions. It made exploring Athens so easy and enjoyable.The home itself was well-stocked and comfortable. We really appreciated having a washer and dryer during our stay, as well as plenty of fresh towels. The outdoor spaces were especially lovely—a peaceful place to unwind after a day of sightseeing. Our daughters especially enjoyed climbing up to the rooftop patio each night to watch the outdoor movie—such a fun and memorable touch!This place was the perfect home base for our time in Athens, and we’d happily stay here again. Highly recommend!

Athens Sight Seeing Trip

The apartment is great, located in ideal place to see the sights. Local restaurants are good and a short walk to Plaka and the centre but the best location for the Acropolis

Fantastic Location!

Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay. The location cannot be beat (within walking distance of the acropolis and many museums). There are many restaurants, a grocery store, and a bakery all within walking distance. Paul (the owner) and his family friends (Chris and Chris's Dad) greeted us very warmly and were very helpful to us. We would definitely stay here again and would have loved to stay longer!

Perfect and safe location by the Parthenon, as a matter of fact you have a beautiful view on third floor patio of the Parthenon . Plus from the third floor you can watch a movie at the outside theatre next door! Very clean and host was wonderful and gives you lots of information when planning a trip. It’s a real gem!!

Comfort and location

We loved this comfortable apartment with its roof-top view of the Acropolis. You just step out the door and there you are, at the foot of one of the most amazing places in the world. We walked the flea markets and visited the Ancient Agora and the Roman Agora, and much, much more. We'd do it again, any time.

Family visit to Athens

We rented the flat for part of our Greece holiday. The flat was in a great location - close to lots of restaurants, bakeries, shops, and a metro stop. We had a nice view of the Acropolis from the terrace, AND a view of the outdoor movie theater next door. Chris was a great host meeting us at the flat, helping with the checkin, and providing recommendations for Athens. We will definitely try to stay here in the future.

Athens Visit

We traveled with four adults and two children. This was the perfect place to visit Athens before embarking on our cruise. The location is perfect. We walked everywhere (Acropolis, Olympic Stadium, neighborhoods). Also, we shopped at the supermarket, ate at nearby restaurants, and relaxed on the rooftop deck in the evenings as well as the patio in the mid mornings. I highly recommend.

Perfect Location

Such a perfect location. We were able to walk out the front door to go do touristy things, pop back to cool off and refresh for dinner, and then head back out and find terrific restaurants. Beautiful garden area and rooftop that I wish we would have had more time to enjoy. If you had littles to get to bed or take a nap, this would be a lovely area to enjoy a glass of wine. Huge advantage to not staying in a hotel. Arriving is a little tricky since it is located off a pedestrian street, but owners answered our phone call from taxi. Also it was quiet with no street traffic. Thanks for a great stay!

Best place to stay!

This was the most well equipped apartment that you could ask for and the best location. Everything was so convenient from our stay-- multiple restaurants, shopping and the view of the Acropolis from our patio couldn't be better. It was hard to believe that we were staying in a historic place with all the modern conveniences. Upon checking out we called Chris and he even arranged a taxi and was waiting just outside our driveway. If we were to be blessed to return to Athens we would definitely arrange to stay in this apartment. 5 stars Paul and Chris.

Great location!!!! Great View!!!!

The location of the apartment is right in the heart of the Acropolis area and walking distance to the gate of the Acropolis and great restaurants and bars. There is also a metro station that can get you to the port for day trips to other islands (I recommend Hydra). The host is very communicative before your stay and will answer any question you have. They had someone meet us at the apartment at arrival and help us get acclimated. They also respond immediately to any request. The apartment is very clean and comfortable and can easily accommodate a family of 4. It is fully equipped with anything you'll need. We were very happy with our stay. Plus the view from the roof top is THE BEST!!!!

Comfort With Fantastic Location, Views, and Amenities

To find the perfect VRBO property, we look for the following criteria: safety, comfort, size, location, and something that makes the property special. This booking exceeded all of our criteria. We enjoyed the beautiful courtyard, the spacious and cozy interior, fantastic views, and the location which was central via walking to all we wanted to see. The host was very helpful and kind before and during our trip. Two of our four nights we enjoyed the rooftop ambiance as we watched Top Gun Maverick and a classic movie viewable from m the outdoor theater across the street, also within view of the beautifully lit Acropolis. We appreciated the nearby recommendations accompanied by directions as well as our welcome basket! Staying at this vacation rental was among the highlights of our trip.

Location, Location, Location!!!

As the other reviews indicate, You cannot have a better location for seeing the Acropolis and Parthenon in Athens, Greece! From the rooftop patio, to the secure private courtyard, you have many options to relax and have beautiful views. We were able to sleep six comfortably and the house was clean and tidy with many amenities for your stay. Just a few steps from your front door, there is a coffee and ice cream shop. A few steps more and you have many restaurant options with views of the Parthenon. Many of the major sites to see in Athens is within walking distance. The only time we need transportation was to head to the port to do some Island hopping. The host left us a basket of treats upon our arrival and the communication was great. I will definitely be recommending this house to any of our friends that will be going to Athens. It is truly a gem!

Nice for 2 couples

This location could not have been beat. Everything we wanted to see within walking distance. We all decided this was where we’d live if we were to move to Athens. It was great to have a place where we could control the air & heat in the individual rooms. A 2nd remote for that purpose would have been helpful. We really appreciated Chris who was so polite & eager to help us, even getting us the perfect taxi when we left. I’m giving it only a 4 star because the pillows & linens need updating & there were some shower issues during our stay but I have no doubt these things will be immediately improved.

Acropolis View Apartment

Location, location, location. The apartment was nice, roomy and worked really well for our party of 4 (2 couples). It had all the amenities you would need for cooking, relaxing and socializing. The bedrooms were comfortable and separated for privacy. The views from both inside and on the rooftop patio of the Acropolis were stunning as well. The top benefit of this apartment was the location. It was just a few minutes walk from everything we wanted to see. The restaurant selection close by was excellent and quiet. The Plaka area was a 10 minute walk when we wanted to be more in the mix. Our hosts Paul and Chris were exceptional and responded quickly to any questions or needs that we had. We had a great time in Athens and it started with the quality of this apartment.

Unbelievable location!

The apartment was just as advertised. A nice garden area/sitting area with shade. Could use a couple of armchairs in the living room for seating when the couches used as a sofa bed. Rooftop has a small table with four chairs. Very nice view of the acropolis lit up at night. The award-winning open air theater is just next to the apartment. The movie “Minions” was playing one night, so the kids watched it in English with Greek subtitles. Everything worked well. The kitchen is well stocked with all necessary dishes, silverware, implements. But best by far is the amazing location: walking distance of every major site and museum, except for the National Archaeological Museum. Beautiful evening walks with the acropolis lit up above. Many fine restaurants nearby. The owner is very responsive and anxious to please.

The Perfect Home Away From Home!

We could not have had a more gracious host! Paul and his assistant, Chris, provided us with a perfect itinerary for our week in Athens. The apartment is exactly as described on HomeAway. The apartment is located within walking distance to all the must-see sites in Athens! Paul, the owner, also owns a wonderful museum within a two-minute walk from the apartment, which we highly recommend visiting. On the top floor of the apartment is a terrace with a beautiful view of The Acropolis. For fun at night, there is an outdoor movie theatre with movies in English subtitles that you can watch from the rooftop terrace. The first-floor garden area provided a wonderful, refreshing break from a long day after touring the city. If you need an apartment with a perfect setting, in a great location, and with a wonderful host, this is the home for you! Chris, Darlene and Kayla

Acropolis View

I highly recommend this 2 BR Apt for a visit to Athens, whether it's your first visit or you're a returning visitor. This was our first visit. We usually stay in hotels, but this apt was perfect for my wife and me and our young adult daughter to have her own room and bathroom. The location couldn't be better. With a beautiful courtyard to unwind after a busy day of sightseeing and a rooftop deck with an incredible view of the Acropolis, especially when it is lit up at night, there is no need to seek out expensive restaurants or fancy hotels with views of the Acropolis. We had that view every day with a short climb up the spiral staircase to the roof. Situated on a quiet neighborhood street, but only a few steps from the main pedestrian walkway to the Acropolis in one direction and restaurants, cafes, and gelato stands in the other. Paul and Chris were excellent hosts seeing to it that our stay was perfect. Paul has put together an information book that he provides in advance with everything you need to know about the apt and suggestions for restaurants and sightseeing. Paul provided helpful communications before the trip and once we arrived, Chris took over to make sure someone was at the apt to meet us and that we had everything we needed at the apt. We wouldn't stay anywhere else in Athens if 2 bedrooms are again required.
