About this property

The ideal house at the foot of Acropolis.

My apartment is a spacious and cozy place 63 square meters, perfectly located in the heart of the historic center of Athens, in the neighborhood of Thiseio, few meters away from Apostolou Pavlou pedestrian street. Acropolis Hill and Ancient Agora is only 10 minutes walking.
The location couldn’t be better.
The metro station is only 3 minutes away thats why it is an ideal getaway destination for someone who wants to explore the city of Athens.
The view from the shared rooftop (two floors up by narrow, typical, back stairs) is spectacular. Guests can enjoy the privacy of the whole apartment which I always make sure to be clean and neat.
Whenever is in our hand, we will be glad to offer an early check-in or late check-out.

Irene was wonderful, the location amazing. I don’t think we could find a better location. The place was clean & comfortable. Great rooftop & balcony seating. Half a block to rooftop restaurants overlooking the Acropolis & a grocery store 1/2 a block in the other direction. We had a lovely stay.

Best place to stay in Athens

Irini was a wonderful Host. She met us early and helped us get in and showed us around the apartment and explained the unique things there. She told us where shopping and best restaurants were. The Acropolis is view able from the rooftop. The people on the street and in the businesses were friendly and helpful. It was a wonderful "neighborhood" feeling

Location, location, location

This apartment was lovely and in the perfect location to see all the amazing sights in Athens. Irene is a gem - she met us upon arrival, had many great recommendations of places to visit and eat, and was very easy to get a hold of. Her apartment is a delight. We had access to a rooftop patio, as well as two other outdoor patios where we spent time reading or enjoying drinks. The location is very close to everything - we were able to take breaks at the apartment in between exploring the city. The air conditioning is wonderful - it was very hot when we were there but we were very comfortable. I would strongly recommend and I would book this location again when visiting Athens.

Simply Perfect in Thissio!

Our stay at Irene's property in Athens was an absolute dream, earning every one of its five stars!The Thissio neighborhood itself is a gem, offering truly stunning views of the Acropolis that are even more breathtaking in person. We spent hours happily exploring the area on foot, with incredible sights and experiences around every corner.Irene was an exceptional host – very responsive and incredibly helpful from booking to checkout. Her apartment was nothing short of perfect. It was spotlessly clean and wonderfully well-stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable and convenient stay. We truly felt at home.We can't recommend Irene's VRBO enough for anyone visiting Athens. If you're looking for an ideal location, fantastic amenities, and a superb host, this is the place!

About the host

Hosted by Irene Karpouzi

My name is Irene and i am a photographer. My spare time I really like to read a good book and in summer i love to make long walks. A walk on Philopappou Hill is my favorite route. My favorite time of the day ... is late in the evening. When everyone in the house has been asleep and the city has plummeted. It's time to enjoy my drink on the terrace and plan the next day or not !
My decision to host people from other countries in my home came effortlessly. It seemed very interesting to me to meet people with other cultures, other interests than usual.

Why they chose this property

My apartment is located at the foot of Acropolis Hill, walking distance to all ancient sights, parks, art and culture, great views, restaurants and dining spots. The center of the city, (Syntagma square, Ermou street, National Garden, etc) are easily accessible either by foot or by metro.
