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.

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

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.

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Irene Karpouzi

Host profile image
My name is Irene and i am a photographer. My spare time I really like to read a good book and in summer i love to make long walks. A walk on Philopappou Hill is my favorite route. My favorite time of the day ... is late in the evening. When everyone in the house has been asleep and the city has plummeted. It's time to enjoy my drink on the terrace and plan the next day or not !
My decision to host people from other countries in my home came effortlessly. It seemed very interesting to me to meet people with other cultures, other interests than usual.

Why they chose this property

My apartment is located at the foot of Acropolis Hill, walking distance to all ancient sights, parks, art and culture, great views, restaurants and dining spots. The center of the city, (Syntagma square, Ermou street, National Garden, etc) are easily accessible either by foot or by metro.
