Catharine United States of America

Dana (the host) is very friendly and helpful. We just met her at the apartment sharp on time as we have discussed before our arrival. The apartment is 3-4 mins. walk from Acropoli metro station and very close to the Hadrians Gate. Supermarkets are very close for getting your needs. Balcony has the view of Acropolis' north slope, which is spectacular.

Emre Turkey

Lovely apartment. Very comfortable. Loved the two balconies. Fantastic air conditioning!

Eileen United Kingdom

It was a great apartment, with everything I needed available. The host was fantastic. They sent me thorough instructions for how to get there and how to get in the day before I went, and even went above and beyond during the trip. The bed was comfy too and had a good view of the Acropolis from one of the balconies.

Collette United Kingdom

Excellent location, in the heart of the city with everything really within easy reach but still in a quiet area. A special extra is the two balconies, one overlooking the Acropolis and the other shaded during the day. The furnishings are old-fashioned and have their own charm and atmosphere. The kitchen, bathroom is adequately equipped, 4 towels were provided. There are also little things like shower gel, shampoo, dishwashing liquid in the kitchen, sponge, tea bag etc. These are simple but important little things, thank you! The host was happy to answer all my questions and give me all the help I needed (nearby shops, restaurants, etc.)

This house is an elegant apartment in the heart of Plaka, the most beautiful and historic neighbourhood of Athens. It is walking distance to all touristic sites including the Acropolis and the new archaeologic museum, the National Garden, many cafes and restaurants, and close to metro and other public transports. You will adore how spacious and comfortable it is, and you will love the colourful decoration, the two balconies with a great view, and the fireplace for winter vacation. The space is on the 3rd floor of a 1950 building, a typical athenian art deco. Sadly, it has no elevator, keep this in mind to plan your vacation in the best possible way. All areas are cleaned with natural cleaning products, friendly to people and the environment. The apartment consists of a spacious living room decorated with unique antique furniture, a relaxing bedroom with an elegant carved wooden bed, a cute bathroom and kitchen, and two balconies, with a great view of Acropolis. It is full of light and fresh air.

Plaka is the old historical neighborhood of Athens, clustered around the northern and eastern slopes of the Acropolis, and incorporating labyrinthine streets and neoclassical architecture. Plaka is built on top of the residential areas of the ancient town of Athens. It is known as the "Neighborhood of the Gods" due to its proximity to the Acropolis and its many archaeological sites. The space is very close to one of the most beautiful and interesting byzantine churches of Athens, St. Catherine. The church is situated in the old Alikokkou district in the historic neighborhood of Plaka between Hadrian's Arch and the Lysikrates Monument, on Aghia Ekaterini Square. The church has been constructed on top of an ancient temple dedicated to the Goddess Artemis. The central part of the church dates back to the middle of the 11th century during the Byzantine period. The area of Plaka is one of the most attractive districts of Athens.
