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 apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker. Change of towels is available on request.

Irene is the best. We arrived to this beautiful apartment from the cruise port by taxi. I don’t believe the location could have been any better and convenient. There is a walking distance to major attractions and we stayed there for 5 days. There are great restaurants just across the street, grocery stores, bakery. We absolutely loved our stay and Irene was helpful, available, caring , and such a blessing.

Our stay at this Athens apartment was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, the hostess made us feel incredibly welcome and showed us true filoxenia (the beautiful Greek tradition of hospitality).The location of the apartment is perfect. We were able to walk to the Acropolis easily, and the surrounding neighborhood features excellent walking paths for evening strolls. There are also many fantastic restaurants just steps away from the front door.Inside, the apartment was a comfortable haven. The air conditioning works incredibly well. Even in mid-May, the weather got quite toasty outside during the middle of the day. We were deeply grateful to have such a cool, nearby retreat to rest in between exploring the town.We highly recommend this property and would absolutely stay here again!

This was a great experience from beginning to end! Unfortunately we did not meet the host in person, simply because we were so busy exploring that our schedules never lined up. Great base to do our exploring from. Easy to walk to everything or take the metro to the nearby station if our feet got tired. Thissio street market is wonderful and just steps away. The rooftop patio with the amazing view is a few flights up some narrow stairs but they are very secure and well worth the climb! Quiet area but with everything you might need closeby.

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.
