Guest Reviews
- Letrang (10/5): Amazing - The location of the property was amazing, it is on a quiet street but within minutes you have restaurants, coffee shops and the Acropolis! We love the period features of the house and it accommodated four adults and one child very well. The grandparents had the ground floor bedroom with toilet/ bathroom, and we had the first floor with a toilet/ bathroom. We especially love the plants which we admired everyday and the two balconies and courtyard, where we had coffee in the mornings. The host was very accommodating and made our stay very memorable! Everything was perfect.

- Herbert (9/5): Traum Lage mit rustikaler Unterkunft - Sehr gemütliche Unterkunft mit außergewöhnlicher Lage ein Traum. Die Betten vielen Recht schmal aus.
- Sandra (10/5): Séjour extraordinaire à Athènes! - La maison est superbe, très bien décorée et aménagée, et la localisation est tout simplement idéale. Notre hôte a été parfaite, de l’accueil aux petites attentions à notre arrivée et aux bons conseils. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir! -
- OLEG (9/5): Прекрасное место остановиться в Афинах - Прекрасное расположение, близко ко всем точкам интереса. Акрополь, таверны,магазины,все рядом. Дом с уютной атмосферой, все очень стильно, на террасе прекрасно можно поужинать. Хозяин дома - кот Кайзер прекрасно расположен к людям, мы подружились. Очень довольны, прекрасно провели время.
- David (10/5): - Очень добрая хозяйка, за ранее заселения не попросила доплаты и еще ждала нас в 7 утра. Дом рекомендую.
- Owen McIntyre (9/5): Great location in the heart of the city. House comfortable and cool and as described. - Great location. House was homely and full of character. Nice and cool place to retreat from the summer heat. No real issues.
- Uwe (10/5): -
- Jim (10/5): - It was right where we needed it to be. Felt like our own private villa. The bathrooms could have been larger.
- Jessica (10/5): Absolutely amazing location for immersing yourself in Athens. - This fantastic house is in an unbeatable location, 3 minutes walk from the entrance to the Acropolis and surrounded by an amazing selection of places to eat and drink. Our host provided excellent local recommendations.
- Katerina (7/5): Gorgeous home in the centre of old plaka - So central in the middle of plaka
- William (10/5): -
- Andrea (9/5): Live like an Athenian - The house was charming. We loved the balconies & the enclosed courtyard. There were lots of wonderful restaurants, Bars & Shops in walking distance. The hostess was absolutely wonderful and very willing to help uswith special requests. The air conditioning didn’t work well but there were lots of fans to make up for it.
Some drivers did not want to go up the steep narrow road to get close to the house.
- Craig (10/5): Wonderful. - Location is exceptional. House is unique. Nothing.
- Sharon (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful location.
- Roldan (10/5): Great location cozy house for families. Thank you for a wonderful stay! - Fantastic location in the middle of everything. You can walk to the lost historic spots.
- Alison (10/5): A great stay in a great location. - This property was in the perfect location! It was quiet but in the middle of everything. The host was very friendly and accommodating. The house is very unique and interesting.
- Evan (10/5): We appreciated the prime location and beautiful and artistic home. - This location is amazing for exploring the tourist center. Nothing not to like. There are some neighborhood cats in the outdoor entry, but my kids loved them.
- Timothy (10/5): Special place in an amazing part of Athens - The location, at the base of the Acropolis and in the heart of the Placa district is amazing and can’t be beat. The house itself is wonderfully homey and is as far from a sterile hotel room as you can imagine. If you want to experience what it is like to live in this part of Athens, with all of the quirks and idiosyncrasies of a house with history then this is your place.
Some unexpected but very appreciated treats: our host provided us with light breakfast food, coffee, fresh fruit and wine
Something good to know: while the place is very well equipped, bring some soap/shampoo
- George (10/5): This would be our first choice for a return visit - Where do you begin? This is a wonderful, one of a kind property!
The location, is at one edge of the plaka, which means it is close to everything. A hundred feet in one direction and you are in the island-like enclave of Anafiotika. Less than a hundred feet down a picturesque stepped (but gently stepped) pedestrian path and you are at Lisikratou Square, a heavily treed oasis. A bit further and you are in the middle of touristic plaka. So you are close to everything, yet secluded. Oh, and it is about as close to the Acropolis Museum and the entrance to the Acropolis as you are likely to get.
The place is an entire home, of very generous proportions. If you are a large family it will accommodate you quite well. If you are a couple, you will have your own home in the middle of Athens. It’s not obvious from the photos, but there is an entry courtyard, two wonderful, uncovered (but mostly shady) terraces, two bedrooms, a loft, and a double height living room. The owner has the place decorated with wonderful art and books. You don’t feel like you are in a grandmother’s place or a trendy place decorated for Instagram. You are the temporary occupant of the home of an obvious art lover. Not a thing.
- Gang (10/5): The place is perfect for our family stay. Host was very nice to meet us at the house and left us breakfast items (bread, - Location is perfect Could not find hand or body soap/gel for shower, but it was minor so we did not ask host.
- Joanna (9/5): Absolutely fabulous!! - The cottage exceeded our expectations. The location was absolutely fantastic, literally at the foot of the acropolis! Walking distance to cafes, tavernas and minimarts and shopping. The locals were really friendly and helped carry out bags down to the cottage as it was a little steep and slippery. The owner was quick to reply to messages and very helpful. The cottage itself is very eclectic in style, with lots to look at. Beds comfortable. Bathrooms adequate. The bottle of wine, fruit bowl and bread, all complimentary were a lovely touch and delicious! Would highly recommend this place and would definitely stay there again should we be in Athens
- Trish (10/5): A beautiful home in a perfect location - The location is fantastic right next to entrance to Acropolis. The home has lovely high ceilings. The furnishings, artwork and books are very tasteful. We loved the outdoor space of terraces and courtyard. The hostess was extremely helpful and gave up lots of tips on places to eat / shop / visit. The lower bedroom is quite dark and close to kitchen. Steps up to attic room quite steep. But overall the home is wonderful.
- Stephanie (10/5): Cute home in a great location - Owner was very sweet and left us authentic Greek treats. The location could not be beat.
Very cute home
- Emily (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful location and great amount of space for the family.
- Simone (4/5): Excellent location with maintenance issues. I would not stay here again. - Excellent location with a unique courtyard. We picked oranges from the balcony. Clean sheets. Large residence. Not well maintained, cleaning issues, not a good value.
- Kathrine (9/5): Superb -
- Angela (10/5): Lovely property, great location, wonderful host, would definitly stay there again! - Wonderful location, quiet, peaceful, private, updated old home, property owner was wonderful Small bathroom but that is to be expected with this type of original property.
- Kathy (10/5): An amazing stay at this lovely home. - Beautiful home with so much charm and character.
- Beatriz (10/5): Exceptional -
- Siri (10/5): A real gem in a big city! - The house was a real gem!! We would definitely stay here again! The host was very nice and everything was perfect from the first step inside the house! The best surprise was that the house came with the cat Kaizer! He was absolutely adorable and to be honest, we didn`t want to leave the house at all. It was so nice to sit on the balcony, just above the pedestrian street, and observe tourists passing by, taking photos and discussing, while having the cat relaxing in my lap!
Please, if you stay here, Be kind to Kaizer and ALL other cats in Plaka Athen!
- Bianca (10/5): Amazing experience, would be back 10 times! - The location is perfect, close to akropoles and to the shops and restaurants around. Plus the place is out of a film...tourist would stop by to take pictures! The most beautiful house ever. We've had the best experience. The host provided breakfast amenities and fruits and that was also so nice for our stay :) <3 Lovely time in Athens. We've loved everything!
- Shannon (10/5): Great location - Great location. Huge house right below the Acropolis on one side and on the edge of the Plaka on the other. Nicely appointed and the owner was very helpful.
- Eureka (7/5): Good for a large family - The location was great. In the center with lots of restaurants around.
The house was big enough for our family of 6. Once we were there, we had trouble communicating with the host when the electricity went out in the evening.
The washing machine is very small.
- Jenna (10/5): We had a wonderful time in Athens. It was a short trip, but having this house made our stay wonderful. We were able to e - Perfect location, clean, air conditioning. Beautiful and charming.
- Jan (10/5): Loved everything about it - amazing location, classic charm, and wonderful host. - Absolutely perfect. First time visiting Athens. Could not have asked for more. Felt like a local resident due to location, charming and tasteful furnishings/decorations, and classic design/layout of house. Location is unbelievable. Along with proximity to the Acropolis, there's endless restaurants and shops surrounding, and the house is tucked away on a quiet walkway. Also enjoyed the garden areas and beautiful plants. The host was fantastic and super easy and communicative. I look forward to staying again in the future. No complaints of any sort. Was perfect for my family.
- Mary (10/5): This is the place to stay for Acropolis, Plaka. Lots of tavernas and you are not driving a car - Location location, less than 150m to the Acropolis entrance , a beautiful taverna next door . Plaka shops within metres. The home is unique, lots of artwork, being in a persons home. You cannot park in this area and you cannot be dropped off. You will need to be dropped off at Hadrians Arch about 200m away. We had no problem as we had no car. Would definitely stay here with the family again
- Kari (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cynthia (10/5): So thrilled we chose to stay here! Loved the charming home in the perfect location! - The location was prime! It was thoughtfully outfitted. Nothing
- Vanessa (10/5): Lovely place to stay - Great location. Very comfortable and clean. Perfect for a family. Close to acropolis and all old town areas. Very quaint place to stay.
- John (9/5): Traditional Greek house minutes from the sites - Perfect location the host was extremely accommodating
- Elaine (5/5): The location is amazing. The owner was generous and welcoming The outside is beautiful. The upstairs was huge but air co - The outside had beautiful flowers. Terraces & 2 balconies the upstairs is huge. The second bedroom downstairs like a big closet no privacy at all. In need of repairs. Kitchen very rough
- Jeffrey (10/5): Charming, warm, and perfectly located. - What a great hidden location in the Plaka. Multilevel space is really part of the area, with patios and doors to open for breezes and sunshine. Not necessarily a bad thing but just so you know what you’re getting into, this is an older space that has frozen in time. Well kept but not immune to the unique contours of the Plaka.
- Pete (8/5): Awesomene location in walking distance of main attractions - Awesome location, walking distance to all the main sights in Athens.
Plenty of space, easily could sleep 6 people.
Landlady was very responsive and provided tips for sights and restaurants in the area.
Had fresh fruit and a bottle of wine awaiting us in the fridge Pictures feel a bit outdated relative to current state of apt. Wish Apt was a bit cleaner. Shower was tiny
- Igor (10/5): Exceptional - The best possible location. A very special house, a real Greek. magical atmosphere No
