We were in Athens to visit our daughter and her fiancé who are traveling. What luck that we found George’s place. It was as promised, roomy, comfortable, clean and close to everything. On our first night, we took a short walk and had a great dinner with a stunning view of the Acropolis! What a perfect vacation!

Wonderful apartment in Bohemian neighbourhood, close to lots of fantastic restaurants and the Acropolis. Highly recommend and we would certainly stay again if we visit Athens again.

This little place was perfect for us during our four day stay in Athens. We could walk to everywhere we needed to go for shopping, the Acropolis, the city. Communication with our host was a breeze
5.0
Localisation is excellent and really central. And 5 minutes walk from the metro. You see the Acropolis all lighted just walking down the street and the Agora is very near.
A 20 minutes walk to get to the Acropolis center for the Hop On/ Hop Off buses.
Restaurants very nearby to suit every wallet.
And don’t be afraid for the security: the locks of the door are surely more secure than a prison….but it takes a little training….hihihi!
And George is answering really fast to our questions.
Highly suggested.

Couldn’t imagine staying in a better location in Athens! You can easily walk to all of the prime locations, yet stay in an inviting neighborhood. You can walk to nearby restaurants, as well as a beautiful view of the Acropolis. One of our favorite restaurants was Kousoulo which is located about a block from the apartment. Then head left, when facing the restaurant, after dinner to see a fabulous night view of the Acropolis. There are a number of good coffee shops and bars in the area.
George and his wife Roula were very helpful before and after our arrival. George was kind enough to come from work to let us in the apartment after we locked ourselves out, with a smile on his face. Plus, he gave us the number to a car service, which worked out perfectly for us.
The apartment is very clean and comfortable. It was a good place to relax after our long days sightseeing. Make sure to visit the Acropolis first thing in the morning before the crowds and heat!
Thank you George and Roula for a Great stay!!

Thank you George for the comfortable apartment. We only stayed overnight before our cruise but the apartment was very relaxing and the A/C was much appreciated. George’s wife was so kind as we were leaving directing us to the place to grab a taxi for the cruise port. The apartment location is well situated, we walked to the Acropolis and had a late dessert at a local cafe. George answered all of my many questions before arrival as this was our first trip to Greece. Thank you.

My 18 year old daughter and I had the pleasure of staying in this quaint and convenient apartment in Athens. It was an easy trip from the airport using the metro and less than a 20 minute walk to the Acropolis. Restaurants and shops are just around the corner. George is very attentive and responsive to his guests inquiries and needs. Very clean and quiet. I appreciated the thermos and coffee tumblers left out for guests to use during their stay.

My family had a short stay in Athens after our cruise, this property was perfect. The restaurants, bakeries, and nightlife in the area was amazing.
5.0
This is a very comfortable, clean, modern apartment located on a quiet street, yet just one block from the main pedestrian street in Thissio with beautiful Acropolis views and great restaurants. It is a very quick walk in one direction to the Acropolis, the Plaka and the Ancient Agora. But if you go the other way you enter the part of Thissio that is less touristy (which we value) and can enjoy the neighborhood's great bakeries, cafes, and restaurants. George was a very responsive host and also offered great advice (like how to store our luggage nearby as we arrived very early to Athens).
5.0
Felt bad that our flight was delayed, but George’s son was there to let us in. Very smooth check in process. We were only there one night, but it was perfect for our sightseeing in Athens. We walked everywhere from this apartment. We saw so much in 24 hours! Restaurants nearby was a huge plus….we walked to every meal! Easy access to the Metro which was great for our arrival and departure to/from the airport. No car needed. The apartment was clean and spacious. I would highly recommend it if you are staying in Athens or just passing through Athens.

Near everything. Airport to Thiseo metro station, then a three minute walk. Acropolis and other sights within easy walking distance. Great eating choices. Excellent views and quiet walking paths. History at you doorstep. Could not have asked for better.

5.0
The apartment is not glamorous, but comfortable, quiet, clean and perfectly located, almost around the corner from the pedestrian way to the Acropolis and the Agora, cafés, restaurants, etc. Unfortunately I fell ill and we had to cut short our trip. George, the host, was very responsive and tried to help. There was a mixup on billing, not helped by confusing aspects of the VRBO platform, but that was minor.
5.0
All expectations were exceeded. Host was very welcoming and spent time pointing out all of the amenities of the apartment. Kitchen is very well equipped, beds are comfy and there is room to spread out. Everything was in working order.
Walking distance to Acropolis entry in one direction and Hadrians Library in the other. A choice of cafes and restaurants close by. Can highly recommend the weirdly named Retro Funky Cafe. Awesome food.
A great experience all round. Thank you George.

The apartment is very clean with plenty of supplies. The owner was very accommodating and helpful with navigating Athens. He even helped us arrange a taxi for the morning drive to the airport. What a relief to have such an advocate! The location of the apartment was perfect. Safe and away from the noise, yet walking distance to historical sites, restaurants, and shopping.

Superb apartment in fantastic neighborhood
Beautiful and clean apartment with everything I wanted; comfortable bed, quiet street, close to restaurants, bakery and grocery store, plus easy walk to all sites, especially Acropolis, Ancient Agora, Monastiraki and the metro. George was most helpful and clearly cares very much for his guests and the property.

Great apartment and property!
Thissio is a terrific neighborhood, very quiet but just minutes walking to Psirri, Monastiraki, the ancient Agora, the Parthenon and all the sites of antiquity. So location is TOP.
The apartment is spotless, everything works, a great space, thoughtfully renovated and designed - great ergonomics, not always easy to find in Athens apartment rentals.
Thank you George for a really relaxing stay.

Fabulous stay
We had a fabulous stay. George was very helpful regarding transfers from the airport and to the port, as well as directions and suggestions around Athens.
The apartment was very clean and exactly as described. It was very comfortable and in an awesome location. It was a ten minute walk to the Acropolis and even closer to many restaurants and shops. The metro is a two minute walk and a quick ride to the port.
George is a very friendly and accommodating host who wanted to make sure we had a great stay...which we did.
