Great place to stay and great location

We chose this property due to its proximity to the Plaka, its shopping and restaurants, and the major ruins in Athens. THe apartment was as advertised. They have several locked doors to get through to get to the apartment so that is a very positive thing. The washer and dryer worked as did all the bathrooms and kitchen appliances. YOu have to remember to turn the hot water on when you want to use it and that was not a problem. We had a great view of the Acropolis at night from the top floor porch. The location was near the Plaka and other areas for shopping and restaurants. For Athens, this is the perfect spot to rent and we will do so in the future when we visit Athens again.

Horrible Communication

The property is in a nice neighborhood, but I would not consider staying with this host again. We tried to communicate for 3 weeks prior and had to get VRBO involved. The host was not available to help during our stay. We had to help an elderly couple checking in, as the host would not respond to their calls for help. The host tried to bully us into leaving before the contracted time and demanded screenshots of our agreement. Only one shower is functional, as the other is missing a door. Beware!

Great location on the edge of everything.

Great location just northwest of the Acropolis. Walk everywhere or take the metro from the station a couple hundred yards away. Many great restaurants and attractions nearby. Unit is really 3 bedrooms, the 4th being in the lower landing area of the stairs. Perfect for 3 couples or a family. Secure, well maintained, and stocked, washer and dryer were a big plus. Pay attention to the hot water heater breaker to ensure you have hot water in the morning. Great communication and responsiveness, highly recommend this as the place to stay in Athens.

Exellent Location

The Condo is at the foot hills of the Acropolis. Everything is within walking distance. Hundreds of Greek Restaurants all around u. The subway is easy to use and the tram is an excellent way to see the Greek riviera and the beaches. The house is very well appointed and reaching the manager is very quick indeed.

Great Location, Space, View and Host

Our family spent 4 nights recently at this apartment as we toured the historical sights of Athens. First, if you are looking for a location in the city for easy access to the historical sights, great shopping in Plaka and a plethora of cafes, bakeries and restaurants this location will be a good choice for you. It was hot in Athens but yet we walked 90% of the time, if you wanted you could easier use Uber or Taxi from this apartment or for longer walks to places like the Acropolis (1 mile) or Museum you can use the metro very easily but we walked as we love walking the cities. Space, the apartment has two floors, the main living area on the 4th floor has a nice sitting room, kitchen, bath, bedroom and a balcony. The balcony does a view of the Acropolis. The kitchen has whatever you may need. The AC worked well both on the 4th and 3rd floor of the apartment. This was very important as it was very hot in Athens. The 3rd floor had a large bedroom, large closet and bath along with a smaller room and full bath along with a sitting room, this worked perfect for our family of 5. There is also a 4th bed which is a roll away bed stored in the large closet. Panos, the host was great, he messaged me as the trip approached with the instructions and did so via What's App so he was easily reachable if anything should come up. If we go back to Athens, we would definitely stay here again.

Apartment in Thisieo

This penthouse apartment was perfectly located for our family of 5 (myself and husband, daughter and her two teenage sons) walking around Athens to see the many sights. The rooftop patio overlooking Acropolis was amazing. There really is not a fourth bedroom. One of our grandsons was happy to bunk on the living room couch.

Not as advertised.

I will start with the positive. This place was in a great location. You can easily walk to the Acropolis and other ruins. However, the descriptions of this apartment are false. I don’t even know where to begin. I do not believe the building is safe. There is cracking in the walls and it felt like there was movement of the building. It does not look like this anymore. It is not 4 bedrooms, they count a bed in a hallway as a bedroom. The bathrooms are run down. One bathroom is missing half of the glass door, and the other only has a hand held shower handle. You have to crouch down to shower. The entire apartment has a moldy smell. The smell was hard to deal with, and every time we came home I wanted to cry. I felt so bad subjecting my family to this, but we had already paid in full. The view of the Acropolis is quite obstructed by electric wires and antennas. We took a blanket of a closet to put on the bed and there was so much dirt in the blanket that we had to sweep it up. The apartment was not very clean, especially the kitchen. I could go on and on. It ruined our time in Athens.

The apartment which occupies both the third and fourth levels was very spacious and wonderfully positioned for visiting all the main archaeological sites as well as the vibrant restaurant and shopping areas. It was also very novel in that the lift up to the apartment on both the third and fourth floors opened directly in the apartment rather than the staircase. This was very convenient when moving heavy cases and shopping.

Lovely, well equipped, apartment but definitely only 2 bedrooms

Lovely apartment with a good view of the acropolis by night over the roof tops but it did not have the three bedrooms stated in the description. There are only two private bedrooms with the other 2 sleeping spaces, one upstairs in the living area and the other "bedroom" is effectively a corridor between the second bedroom and the staircase. The description also indicates there are three bathrooms, when in reality there is one full bathroom (very nice), one small cramped bathroom which you share with a washing machine and the third is just a toilet. Overall, we really liked the apartment, which was well equipped, great location and with great views but we only awarded 3 stars because of the misleading description which meant our teenage daughter had no privacy during our stay.

We had a wonderful visit in Athens and this Apartment was a high lite. At ages 65 to 82 we really enjoyed the elevator and used it often. This place is in the heart of every thing and the local dining is to die for . The view of the Acropolis at night is a once in a life time experience. Special thanks to Pano's Mother who so kindly assisted us.Top rates for this excellent rental.

Comfortable and a great view, but flawed.

The apartment was large, modern and attractive. There was plenty of comfortable seating (unusual for self catering accommodation) and the beds were also fine. It was in a quiet residential location, within easy walking distance of most archaeological sites, the Metro, food shops and restaurants. There was a great view of the Acropolis from the terrace, especially at night. However, the fact that the only fully-equipped shower (there was no bath) was in the en-suite bathroom attached to one of the bedrooms was inconvenient for us, and would have been impossible had our party (one couple and one single) been larger. Anybody wanting to do much cooking could have problems, as the kitchen was poorly equipped even by self catering standards (no toaster, for example). Please note that there are only two bedrooms, not as stated. This was what we wanted, but again a larger group might have privacy problems. We suggest that the owner puts a banister or rail on the small staircase between the floors, as they are a little slippery and awkward. These faults are the reason we have not awarded five stars. Nevertheless, we liked the apartment and enjoyed staying in it. We would certainly stay there again if we visited Athens in the future.

Great location, nice balcony, well equipped apartment. Helpful owners and comfortable beds.

Good location close to the Acropolis and Thission metro station. Location details on the Homeaway website rather lacking but easy to contact Panos to get directions. The apartment is very well equipped and has two main bedrooms with a double bed in each and widespread air conditioning if needed. There are several interconnecting rooms - one where you could use a pull out bed. Two bathrooms and another WC room. The kitchen has a good fridge freezer and everything you would need. A small balcony gets the morning sun and has a view of the Acropolis over the rooftops. There is a bakery 50 metres away and a supermarket probably about 300-400 metres. Only one set of keys but there is an intercom at the entry door. Many tourist restaurants on the acropolis path but also some local off the beaten track options as well. We had a taxi back to the airport at 4am with Christos and it all worked on time. Would we stay here again - yes

Great Location!

We stayed here for eight nights recently and was extremely satisfied. Having toured the city all week, it ended up being the ideal location to centralize our activities. The owner communicated well throughout the booking process and was responsive to our needs during our stay. There were a few hiccups during the stay (both the internet and elevator went out-of-service temporarily), but the owners had everything working as normal within a reasonable amount of time. A few lessons learned: (1) There are actually only TWO separate bedrooms, which isn't a big deal really. The third "bedroom" is more like a foyer with a sofabed adjacent to the other two bedrooms. People sleeping in the other bedrooms downstairs will walk through the foyer to get up to the kitchen. The fourth place to sleep is also the living room. (2) The elevator is convenient, but getting the code correct to access the top floors can be tricky and frustrating at times. Sometimes it took a few attempts for us to get the top floor button enabled. Once you got the hang of it, it was easier. (3) They only had one set of keys to get in, but then again we didn't really ask for a second set either. With multiple people in our party, we had to plan logistics around who would have the keys to get back in. (4) They have a washing machine, but no dryer. This appears to be normal in Europe. We ran the marathon and washed our clothes afterwards, which was great. But we had to hang them dry before leaving the next morning. Again, another minor inconvenience. (5) Hot water is "on demand" with the electrical panel. You have to hit a button on the panel a few minutes before taking a hot shower. Make sure you ask about this upon arrival, otherwise you may have a cold shower at the beginning of your stay. I only mention those comments above to help our future tenants. I think as Americans we have slightly different expectations of some things and it would've been nice to know this info up front before arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was clean, the view was spectacular, and the location was perfect! The owner was responsive and available to our needs as well. I highly recommend taking the tours from Christos whose info is on the coffee table as well using the owner to arrange for airport pickup. Both were extremely helpful. If we decide to return to Athens in the near future, I would definitely look here first.

Cozy, clean and an incredible location!

We enjoyed our stay at Panos' apartment. He arranged for a driver to pick us up from the port. He was extremely helpful and we used him several times throughout our Athens stay. The apartment is very well maintained and in an absolutely incredible location. Easy access to several types of public transportation and within a 10 minute walk to plenty of restaurants, shops and nightlife. The Acropolis is also an easy walk from the apartment. I'd stay here again without any hesitation.

Perfect location with easy foot access to the path up to the Acropolis and other important Athens landmarks. Elli was eager to greet us with a warm smile and immaculate apartment close to market, bakery, wonderful restaurants and a gorgeous deck view of the Acropolis and the Parthenon. Christos was a fabulous guide and taxi driver from the airport, arranged by Panos at a very reasonable fare. Comfortably accommodates 5 with great black out shades to help you adjust to your jet lag.

Athens city center

The apartment was beautifully decorated with the finest finishes. The pictures are true to form. We stayed on the top 2 floors of a 5 story complex. The master bedroom and bath were spacious. The beds and baths were on the same level and was cramped but I don't think you can expect more than that in Athens city center. The sitting area on the top floor was very spacious. The owners assisted us with airport transfers at a much better rate than other companies (the individual they referred us to also does day tours at a very good rate). We had issues with lack of hot water and internet access that the owners fixed as soon as they could. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
