We found the property to be in an ideal location to walk to great sightseeing, dining, and shopping. The host’s communication was very prompt and also proactive with any tips on things we might like to see and help transportation options. Property was clean and very comfortable.

The apartment was very clean and looked just like the photos on VRBO. The king size beds were very comfortable. Hadrian’s Arch is literally across the street and you can see the Acropolis from the dining room window. The location is perfect to walk to the Acropolis Museum, the Acropolis and surrounding sites.
Tina was so easy to work with. She allowed us to come in early on our arrival day and even arranged a driver to pick us up from the port and take us to the airport at the end of our stay. George was professional and courteous. One recommends is to bring Earplugs as the apartment is located on a busy street.

Absolutely the perfect location to enjoy the sites. The photos say it all. The acropolis view from the back of the condo and Hadrian‘s arch is right across the street. Lovely Host. Very communicative - even arranged a driver to collect us and get us back to the airport. And we were able to check in by 10 AM because her cleaning lady was so accommodating. Exceptional choice if you are visiting Athens and specifically the heart of it in the old neighborhood of Plaka. ♥️

Tina’s apartment was a great spot to spend our last couple of nights in Greece after traveling to different parts of the country. Hadrian’s Arch out the front window and the Acropolis out the back! Perfectly located next to the Plaka area with sooo many great restaurants and shops, and a short walk to the Acropolis, Parliament building and Royal gardens. Tina arranged for a taxi to meet us at the airport and she kept in touch throughout our stay. There was a lot of street noise all night, but I guess that comes with the location. Overall a great stay.

Such a great welcome coming from a long flight with the driver meeting us at the airport to Tiny waiting for us at the condo. We arrived early and Tiny helped store our bags, walked us around the neighbor introducing us to Plaka, suggested wonderful restaurants and helpful hints for our stay. The place was better than advertised with views of Acropolis and Hadrian’s Arch. Location was 10+. So convenient to all the sites and staying in Plaka was very special. Will definitely refer to friends or anyone visiting Athens!

The apartment and amenities were good ... the location and the exceptional service from the property owner were outstanding. Great location and highly recommend this location. Be sure to take the Acropolis tour with Ada and the transportation with Yannis. Tina (property owner) was very helpful navigate our experience in Athens. Having stayed at a half dozen VRBO locations the service received by Tina, Ada, & Yannis was above anything I experienced!

We stayed 4 nights here in Athens (4 girls on a trip of a lifetime) and we couldn't have been more pleased with our accommodations. The location is fantastic and so close to the sites, shopping and restaurants. Tina was a wonderful host and so very responsive to messages when we had questions. The taxi driver, Yannis, she recommended was also the best. Thanks you so much for a great stay!

Our stay was great! All the reviews rave about the views. Well, they’re right! We were late getting into Athens (long story) but our host was able to reschedule our taxi without any problem at all which was so nice considering how long we had been traveling! Yes you are walking distance to all the ancient sights and the Plaka is just behind you too. Little things though like a close grocery store and a washing machine in the apartment make saving money on food and packing light much easier. Highly recommend!

Spotless, fully updated, amazing views, on both sides of the apartment, and an incredibly short walk to the Parthenon end a historic Plaka District with all of the great restaurant. Tina was so nice and helpful, including helping arrange our pickup at the airport.

There is not a better apartment for the Plaka area. The pictures don’t do justice to the actual views from your apartment. Simply the best views of the Acropolis and Hadrian’s Arch available!!! Apartment is well kept and modern.

This apartment was the perfect place from which to explore Athens. The apartment is spacious, clean, and has everything we needed. The views are truly stunning. Tina was extremely helpful with many details of our trip and a terrific communicator.

This apartment is clean, modern, large, and comfortable. It is in a very central location and looks exactly like the pictures. The beds are comfortable and the a/c works well. There is an elevator, but the stairs are manageable. The only downside is the street noise, but that is easily fixed by a white noise app.
We have stayed in several VRBOS in Athens as well as in other countries. This apartment is in my top three.

Apartment is exactly as pictured. Beds and pillows are extremely comfortable. Neighborhood is perfect and you are with an easy walking distance of many shops and good restaurants. Very comfortable for our group of four people. We took advantage of Tina’s recommended taxi, driver, and her tour guide for the acropolis and both were great.

Excellent location, can see Hadrians Arch from the front and the Acropolis from the back. Big beds, so clean and a lot of space. Our 11 month old loved to crawl around and explore. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Awesome place!

The apartment was very nice and a great location. Tina was a gracious and awesome host. Tina scheduled taxis for our party of four when we arrived into Athens. She also arranged taxis to take us to the Cruise Port after our stay. The beds, pillows, etc. were very good as well. Overall, we didn’t lack for anything. My only critique would be is that this apartment is on a very busy street and the vehicle noise was noticeable. Even though the windows and doors are double-paned, it was still loud for me, especially at night. The back bedroom had less noise. Busy city, I understand…. The views of Hadrian’s arch and the Acropolis were awe inspiring, especially at night with the moon shining over the Acropolis. Thank you, Tina, for the great memories and the above and beyond to make our stay so memorable!

I highly recommend this apartment in the Plaka neighborhood. The host is terrific and provided terrific recommendations and even arranged to have a taxi drive to and from the airport. The apartment is close to the Acropolis, Plaka and the Parliament building. In fact all the important things to see are within 1.5 miles of the apartment. It is very clean, and the pictures are accurate. You won’t be disappointed!

If you plan to stay on Athens city then this is place you wanna stay. In front of temple of Zeus and Acropolis view from balcony and back window makes it breathtaking view. Close to syntagma square and all important sites.
Tina , the host, is very helpful and communicative. Tina answered all our questions before and during the stay. She recommended nice places to visit and eat. I had my baggage delayed and I was not reaching to her apartment for 2 more days so she was ready to arrange the delivery to be taken even before we arrive. The host you want for your stay
Thanks Tina
I recommend this place.
