About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The ideal house at the foot of Acropolis.

My apartment is a spacious and cozy place 63 square meters, perfectly located in the heart of the historic center of Athens, in the neighborhood of Thiseio, few meters away from Apostolou Pavlou pedestrian street. Acropolis Hill and Ancient Agora is only 10 minutes walking.
The location couldn’t be better.
The metro station is only 3 minutes away thats why it is an ideal getaway destination for someone who wants to explore the city of Athens.
The view from the shared rooftop (3 floors up by narrow, typical, back stairs) is spectacular. Guests can enjoy the privacy of the whole apartment which I always make sure to be clean and neat.
Whenever is in our hand, we will be glad to offer an early check-in or late check-out.

Best place to stay in Athens

Irini was a wonderful Host. She met us early and helped us get in and showed us around the apartment and explained the unique things there. She told us where shopping and best restaurants were. The Acropolis is view able from the rooftop. The people on the street and in the businesses were friendly and helpful. It was a wonderful "neighborhood" feeling

Great stay in a perfect location

Very clean, spacious apartment with a sweet little balcony for watching the parade passing by. Beautiful, lively neighborhood with many wonderful tavernas and cafes--and Melina's glorious pedestrian pathway right at the end of the street. And, for such a busy area, it is surprisingly quiet at night. We highly recommend it.

Great Stay

Check in was awesome, Irene was able to meet me and show me the apartment and hand me the keys. The apartment was immaculate and well appointed with everything I would need. The rooftop view of the Parthenon is unbeatable. The neighborhood is great! Plenty of restaurants, bakeries, markets abd more. It’s a five minute walk to Thiseio Station. Quick walks to Ancient Agora and to Philopappos Hill for great views and some interesting sights. Amazing apartment in a great neighborhood with quick access to all of Athens.
