About this property

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.

Key Reasons to Stay in Thissio:
Stunning Views: Enjoy breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the Acropolis, especially from Apostolou Pavlou Street and rooftop bars.
Walkability: It's a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood, making it easy to stroll to the Ancient Agora, Temple of Hephaestus, and surrounding historic areas.
Relaxed Vibe: Thissio offers a calmer, more authentic Athenian experience with a bohemian feel, fewer crowds, and fairer prices than more central spots.
Proximity: It's a short walk or one metro stop from bustling Monastiraki and Plaka, giving you access to their energy without being right in the middle of the chaos.
Local Charm: Find traditional tavernas, and street musicians.
Historic Sites & Culture: Home to parts of the Ancient Agora, the National Observatory, the Parthenon and museums, blending history with modern life.
Ideal For:
Travelers seeking a central, yet peaceful base.
History buffs and culture enthusiasts.
Foodies and coffee lovers.
Those who enjoy walking and exploring on foot.

The property was immaculate and had everything that I could possiby need. The host (Irene) was very helpful and always available. If I had any enquiries she responded immediately.The location was perfect - within minutes of the Acropolis and Agora and there were lots of restaurants and taverns on the doorstep. I stayed for 13 nights and I ate somewhere different every night! This was my first time in Athens and I have always wanted to see the Parthenon. The first time I saw it was from the rooftop terrace - and the view was amazing! Thank you Irene, for being part of such an incredible experience!

Location was great, but the rooftop was a disappointment

We chose this property because of the location and the neighborhood. In addition, we chose the property because of the description of the rooftop view of the acropolis. However, in the description, it did not state that the metal staircase to get to the rooftop was three stories, long, very narrow. My husband is 6 foot tall and in excellent shape, but had a very difficult time maneuvering the winding, narrow staircase. We did not ever go to the top to view the acropolis because if this , but instead went to neighboring restaurants with a rooftop view. Don’t book this place for the rooftop view.

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.

Location, location, location

This apartment was lovely and in the perfect location to see all the amazing sights in Athens. Irene is a gem - she met us upon arrival, had many great recommendations of places to visit and eat, and was very easy to get a hold of. Her apartment is a delight. We had access to a rooftop patio, as well as two other outdoor patios where we spent time reading or enjoying drinks. The location is very close to everything - we were able to take breaks at the apartment in between exploring the city. The air conditioning is wonderful - it was very hot when we were there but we were very comfortable. I would strongly recommend and I would book this location again when visiting Athens.

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
