Housed in a restored walk-up mansion dating back to 1838, this apartment blends modern comforts with old-world charm, including frescoed ceilings, a vintage writing desk and a marble-accented bathroom. Access to a communal roof garden with views of the Acropolis is a definite highlight, and while the kitchenette is on the small side, the home’s central location means you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to restaurants and bars nearby. With Plaka an eight-minute walk and the Acropolis a fifteen-minute stroll, you’re also well placed to get the most out of the city’s sights. Home truths: *Your host owns multiple apartments in this building, so the exact view, furnishings and layout might differ from the photos *The apartment will be on the first or second floor with no lift access *At capacity, two guests will be sleeping on a double sofa bed in the living room *Given its central location, you may hear some street noise *Housekeeping is included *The kitchen is small with hotplates rather than a stove, so this home may not be for everyone *The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents *While the bathroom isn't photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home *We recommend skipping the car and exploring Athens on foot or by public transport instead
