We knew little about Athens going in, but we could not have booked a more perfect rental for three days in the city. It is right in the middle of everything and is so easy to see the sites without using any transportation. Great food options are everywhere along with great rooftop bars for evening cocktails. The view of the Parthenon on the Acropolis was amazing at night. The owner (Gerasimos) gave us a quick but thorough orientation upon arrival along with recommendations of where to go and how to get there. He made himself available but also was not intrusive. When we left a piece of jewelry behind, he kindly sent it to us in the U.S. I highly recommend for families and groups of friends traveling to Athens!

We had a great stay at this beautiful apartment. The views were stunning. The landlord was so helpful in organizing our airport taxi
The apartment is light filled with beautiful views from every room. It is centrally located to restaurants, shopping and tourist attractions. We would happily stay there again.

Wonderful apartment in perfect location in lively neighborhood with lots of restaurants and stores. It has an amazing rooftop terrace with beautiful unobstructed views of the Acropolis. The property manager responded within minutes to all inquiries and went out of his way to be helpful both before and during our visit. Apartment is very nice with comfortable beds, very well equipped kitchen, and excellent AC. One of the nicest places we’ve rented in Europe.

We just completed our 4 day visit in Athens. The penthouse apt was exactly as described. Communication was excellent with Gerasimos. He arranged travel to and from the airport and to Orizontes. D
Highly recommended. Had a great visit

Gerasimos was an absolutely wonderful host and we had a great time staying in his Athens VRBO. The view from the apartment was spectacular - looking directly at the Parthenon from the large veranda/seating area. Everything was as pictured/describe. Pre-trip communication was excellent, information/access to the flat was perfect, everything clean, functioning, and comfortable. He went above and beyond to ensure airport pickup, arranged drivers, and answer the many questions we had during our Athens stay (excursions, places to visit, etc.). Gerasimos was hands down the best rental host we have ever experienced in our vacations throughout Europe, Asia, and Australia. Highly recommended.

Greeted upon arrival, host communicated clearly, quickly and was very helpful!
The place was comfortable and clean! Nights on the roof patio with a glass of wine was very enjoyable!
Location was ideal, very close to everything.

While the listing accurately portrays the location and view, we never got over how amazing it was during our stay. It was a lovely stay. Mornings and evenings on the roof watching the activity in the city and the incredible view of the Acropolis was delightful.
5.0
The photos really don't do this apartment justice in terms of the view. It's really very stunning. Sitting out on the patio in the evenings with that view of the Acropolis was a highlight of the trip for all of us. The location is also extremely central to all of the tourist attractions. Usually we take the metro a lot when we visit a new city, but we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to visit in Athens right from the apartment. Overall, the listing is extremely accurate.
5.0
This place was an amazing find. The roof terrace overlooking the Acropolis was more than we expected, with an inside lounge, dining area and bedroom with the same view for when it's too hot outside.
The location is in the heart of the ancient attractions which are all a walk away, as are restaurants and shops, with a grocery store 30 yards away.
Gerasimo was also a great host. He was there to welcome us (and enjoy seeing our reaction when we first saw the view) and helpful in working out things to do, and even reserved taxis for us.
Highly recommend.
5.0
We really enjoyed our stay. The view of the Parthenon was stunning and the location is outstanding. For our family, the layout worked well, but others should note that one of the bedrooms was quite small and located off the kitchen. Also note that while an elevator takes you 6/7's of the way to the Penthouse, there is one set of stairs. Worked for us, some renters might have a challenge.
Let me add that the owner is superb and the communication was excellent.

Immaculate condition with a superb view. Gerasimos greeted us and left helpful hints. He even offered to take us out on his boat in Aegina. Unfortunately, daughter and son-in-law get seasick, so we didn't take him up on his generous offer. Great location with major sites within walking distance.

This place is dreamy! The view, outside patio and master suite are enchanting. There was cold water in the refrigerator for us, a driver waiting for us at the airport, Gerasimos gave us excellent dinning recommendations, there was even a washing machine and the kitchen was loaded with every tool and appliance you could think of. There were shampoos & soaps and towels. It was a lovely experience and the location was perfection- so close to everything… wish we had a few more days to spend there! Thank you for your kindness Gerasimos- you are amazing! He even held our luggage for us upon arrival so we could explore the city while we waited to check in. We appreciate you thinking of all the little details like the slippers, blow dryer & the air conditioning and fans were perfect. The house had so many areas to enjoy.Thank you.

Gerasimos was amazing. He met us at the property and showed us around. The location was perfect. We had rooftop veranda that had amazing sunset views and an up close view of the Acropolis. We also enjoyed the restaurants in the area. We would highly recommend this property.
5.0
In a word, this place is amazing. Less than a kilometer from the Acropolis, we spent many enjoyable hours sipping wine and taking in the unforgettable, unencumbered view from the patio. The suite is well equipped with wall mounted A/C units and a nicely appointed kitchen. The apartment has a decent sized grocery store next door and a few minutes’ walk from an impressive variety of restaurants. For staying in the center of Athens, it could not get better.
The host, Gerasimos, is amazing as well. He met us personally and showed us around the apartment and gave recommendations on what to see and where to eat. The kitchen was pre-stocked with a nice number of edibles and there were keys for everyone in our group. If you request (and we did), Gerasimos arrange for reliable, knowledgeable taxi drivers to pick you up and take you to your destinations. We had a driver greet us at the airport, another to take us to and from a fancy restaurant and another to take us to the airport, avoiding most of Athens congestion.

Our second stay at this property was just as perfect as our first and we cannot wait to get back a third time! Gerisamos is an amazing property manager and is extremely responsive to any needs, from ordering us cars to getting us to and from the airport, making reservations, and meeting our every need. This is, to me, the best place to stay in all of Athens. Oh, and the view cannot be matched! It’s central to absolutely everything.

Amazing view of the Acropolis from every window. Patio for morning and evening relaxation. Perfect central location for restaurants and sightseeing. And our host was fantastic…. Everything we asked about was taken care of immediately. Best ever. Find out for yourself!

I am not sure where else you can get this 360 degree view of the Acropolis, it is simply stunning! The bustling neighborhood is also very convienient and close to literally everything. We went to the Acropolis 2 days in a row, we'd get up early and walk our way up the hill and be the earliest visitors there. It takes only 20 minutes to walk up there so we'd beat all the other tourists and be one of the first visitors, if you've beem to Athens before, you will know how important it is to avoid the crowd! :).
The host is sooo reachable and made our stay super easy too. He helped with taxi booking, recommend nice restaurants and even showed us around the apartment himself. We had a wonderful stay here and are definitely coming back in the future!

This place has 3 incredible features: the location, the view and especially the host, Gerasimos. The terrace is very spacious and the view “out of this world!”
Gerasimos did what ever he could to make us feel welcomed. He had coffee, milk, snacks and yes, even a bottle of wine.
Thank you Gerasimos for giving us a wonderful memory of Athens!

Easy access in Athens
Couldn't have picked a better location in Athens. Close to the Plaka and historical sites/museums. Since it is in the "hub" of things it can get a little noisy, so bring a sound machine along to help drown out the traffic/music. Host was awesome with communication and someone was there to meet us and show us around. The host even coordinated a ride from airport to home and from home to cruise port, which was extremely helpful. Just a heads up that the bedroom with 3 sides of windows has a closet on the outside porch and not in the room. We discovered this the last day. The views were fabulous! We often ate our dinner on the porch overlooking the Acropolis. The kitchen was well stocked and the host even had a few essentials bought for us. The shower area in the 2nd bathroom was too small for us to use, but we had no problem sharing the large one in the master bedroom. If location is your top priority you can't go wrong with this home.

Everything we had hoped for!
We ended our European trip, rebooked from summer 2020, with two nights in Athens. Originally planned for one night, we upped it to two after finding this property, knowing that we'd want to enjoy this view for more than one night. Excellent call! This is a top floor apt, and as many apts in Europe, it is smaller in person than it appears online, but it suited our party of 7 just perfectly. There are room a/c units throughout and they keep it comfy; the room that faces the acropolis is really not usable this time of year - too hot and there is not a unit in that area. But once the sun gets to a certain low point, you can enjoy the breeze outside and the beauty of that view. The view of everything just bursts at night. This property is incredibly clean, with a very well-appointed kitchen that we barely needed b/c we were there only 2 nights; needed the fridge and coffee pot. The owner kindly left us a few things - milk, OJ, lunch meat/cheese, bread, cereal. Communications with Gerasimos were absolutely outstanding. He was very prompt in his responses to us from the day of inquiry, arranged our transport to and from the airport to his place, and met us upon our arrival. He made dinner reservations for us and even offered to cancel one when we changed our minds. We easily communicated through WhatsApp once we arrived. The entrance to the building from the sidewalk looks a little unusual to an American (and w/o his driver I don't know how you'd ever find it!), and the elevator is similarly unique; fear not, the apt is amazing. Excellent location for all of the walking/exploring over a 2 day period. If ever back in Athens, would certainly stay here again. Many thanks Gerasimos! Kate, Dave & crew from Michigan, USA

WOW
Gerasimos was very responsive and helpful and fantastic host. The outdoor patio is just spectacular. Get some good local wine from the supermarket right beside this penthouse and soak in the view.

Best spot in Athens
I honestly don't think you can find a better place. Best location right above monastiraki square. Huge roof balcony. Incredible views. Grocer right at floor level. Clean beautiful interior, great host, very welcoming, helpful and accommodating. Stayed here a week, could feel the life of the city the whole time. No better way to experience Athens, everything is right there in walking distance, and the roof balcony gives better views than most any restaurant in the city.
