Agia Paraskevi vacation rentals

Quiet apartment with good neighbors and a lovely neighborhood. Nearby shops and eateries provide for any needs.

For a first time visitor, I can't imagine a nicer stay. Very clean apartment. Comfortable bed. Amazing view of Acropolis from the roof. Walking distance to the Acropolis, shopping, restaurants and the Metro. Irene was lovely and accommodating. Hoghly recommend.

This was the perfect location and accomodations for my husband and I. We spent two days in Athens before boarding a cruise ship for the Greek Islands. It was only a short walk from everything we wanted to see and do. John was the perfect host! He was always very responsive as well as quick to respond! He helped us arrange a pick up from the airport using the taxi driver he recommended. The taxi driver was there waiting at the airport for us holding a sign with our name on it as soon as we got through the passport inspection. I honestly don't know how we could have had a better location or travel experience with John's VRBO. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Two of us spent 4 nights here and absolutely loved the apartment! It's small but very tidy and has a spacious balcony with a view that's even better than the pictures show. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go in Athens - the Acropolis, Syntagma Square, Monastiriki, and all over the Plaka with all its many excellent restaurants, bakeries, and shops. Communication was quick and responsive, both before and during our stay.

Phos house provides its guest with a modern apartment with incredible views and a most convenient location close to major activities and numerous restaurants. The furnishings were near new and kitchen was well stocked with high quality items. This will be my first choice of a place to book when returning to Athens.

Location was perfect to see everything by foot. Lots to do and see

Location: While the apartment itself is quite nice, it’s the location that really sells this place. It is truly in the shadow of the Acropolis; I can’t imagine there’s a place you can stay that’s any closer. It’s only a couple blocks downhill to the ticket booth, so if someone wanted to stroll down early and pick up tickets before the lines get crazy, it would be super easy. Quiet: The apartment is wedged between two very calm pedestrian streets. We had no traffic noise and no bother by large, noisy groups partying into the night. There is a restaurant next door which had live traditional music every night. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting out on the patio in the evening with a glass of wine hearing them in the background. They could be heard inside the apartment, but just barely, and the music ends at midnight. Comfortable: Queen bed in bedroom was by far the most comfortable we slept on during our month in Europe. The sleeper sofa was probably what you could expect. Our 12-year old was ok with it, but…an adult? Two A/C units were great at keeping the place a comfy temperature. Squeaky clean: This place appears brand new. The Patio: Suite 1 has use of the entire upper floor, including the large L-shaped patio shown in the photos. There were no guests staying in the lower suites while we were there, so I assume the upper patio is for Suite 1’s private use. A few (minor) cons: There weren’t many amenities / supplies left in the apartment for the renters. We were left with 1 roll of toilet paper for 3 people for 3 days. No paper towels, napkins. There was no coffee provided; it would have been nice to have at least a few coffee capsules for the first day. There were no instructions left for using the single-cup coffee maker or the washer-dryer. We figured it all out, but getting the right size of coffee capsules, how to start the coffee maker, and how to use the washer-dryer were all guessing games. By the way, the washing machine also has a dry cycle option. However, even the longest dry cycle did not completely dry the clothes (not even close). Be prepared to hang items out. Transportation — Acropoli subway station is about a 5-minute walk downhill from apartment. We arrived by taxi and were dropped off within 20-feet of the property. However, on pickup, the taxi could not reach the location because of long lines in front of the Acropolis entrance. Be prepared to walk to a convenient pickup point. Tip: Ipanema Bakery for breakfast items.
