Guest Reviews
- Zsolt (10/5): -
- Robert (7/5): Lovely aprtment with great views. - Views of Athens and the acropolis On a hill so access was steep. Not close to restaurants and central Athens
- van Buuren (10/5): Stunning views of Acropolis and Athens city. - The view from the penthouse is fantastic! The apartment itself is cozy, comfortable, and well equipped. The bed is super comfortable. The welcome pack of groceries, fruit and drinks is a lovely touch. Our host was friendly and informative. We highly recommend this apartment. There was nothing to dislike.
- Yingjie (10/5): Amazing stay with a breathtaking view and great location – highly recommended. - The location is excellent. The terrace is perfect for enjoying breakfast with a beautiful panoramic view over Athens. The pool is very clean, and the full view of the Acropolis from there is absolutely stunning. Also your neighbor Chilli (a lovely kitty), sometimes comes to say hi to you,and you need give her a massage:) The only downside is that you need to climb stairs every day since it’s located on top of a hill. But it’s actually a good bit of exercise.
- nikki (10/5): - privacy and panoramic views of the city.
Host was very kind and helped with options for dining sight seeing etc. everything was perfect.
- Sunny (10/5): The only place i will stay when visiting Athens - The apartment location was great as the views of Athens are spectacular. In addition the apartment is just behind the Greek Prime Ministers home, so it is the safest place in the whole of Athens with 24 hour police presence.
The apartment is fully stocked with breakfast foods, beer and soft drinks. There is a balcony and also a private pool with a direct view of the Acropolis.
Very clean, all mod cons everything for a great stay. Rita the apartments owner is very friendly, accommodating and on call for any questions.
The apartment is 5 Stars in my book.
When i come back to Athens this is the only place i will stay in. Location personally does not bother me as i am athletically fit. This is for others who might not be or have mobility challenges. The apartment location requires a final 400m walk uphill which could be difficult. So you can book a taxi etc
- Nabil (10/5): Perfect and confortable - It was perfect ! I highly recommend it ! Nothing
- Kevin (10/5): Excellent spot, exceeded expectations, compliments to host. - I spent 6 nights in property. Beautiful property, located in nice neighbourhood with great views over Athens and the city within walking distance. Easy checkin. Compliments to host for fruit, yoghurts, breads & wine etc. Well kept modern apartment with three balconies. Fully equipped for cooking. Bright & spacious for single or couple. All in all excellent property.
- Daria (10/5): Spectacular - I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in this apartment. It has everything you need for a pleasant stay. The hostess is very attentive and responsive. The view from the terrace takes in all of Athens - it's just amazing. I hope to return one day.
- Florence (10/5): A real gem ! - A bright, charming little penthouse with two terraces — offering exceptional views over Athens, even more breathtaking from the pool area. Incredibly quiet and peaceful, located in a highly secure neighbourhood. Spotlessly clean with a warm, personalised welcome. All essential amenities were provided — it was the first time I arrived at a rental without needing to rush to the nearest grocery store !
Perfect for solo travellers or couples. Ideally situated within walking distance of all Kolonaki’s main attractions, close to Syntagma and beyond.
A dream pied-à-terre — my absolute favourite for future stays in Athens.
- Philip (10/5): Amazing location, fantastic views! - Excellent and easy communication with the host, the location is amazing, and the amenities and views were incredible!! Would absolutely stay here again.
- M109Rstamos (4/5): Smoke and mirrors - ie what is shown is not exactly what you get - Relatively cetral location 1. The swiming pool belongs to a neighbouring property - I dare say most of the time it will not be availiable as it was noty avaiulable to us other than on the first day. You will be compensated for not having use of the pool but please be awa=re that this is unsrupulous behaviour as the pool will rarely be available I dare say - BE AWARE OF THIS!
2. The host's sister decided to use the pool with her friend on the day we were supposed to use it. When confronted she infokmred me she was cleaning the pool. I guess she and her friend were cleaning using their drinks
3. Acropolis is only visible via the pool. If you want to see the Acropolis from the room's balcony you will need to stand on a chair on the balcony and view it via the neighbour's fence.
4. There is mould in the bathroom
5. There are exposed wires witrhin the property
6. There is a large metyal fireplace installed in the living room, contrary to the photos on Booking.com, which reduces the liveable area even further.
7. Sliding doors DO NOT LOCK. The fron=t door does lock but the primary front door locaks from the outside (so someone can lock you in) but not from the inside hence as the sliding doors do not lock, it means that someonbe can enter via the door, and then open one of the glass sliding doors and enetr your apartment - when I asked about this I was informed to noty worry as the President lives nearby hence there are police around - great so that means unless I become the president, I still have no security in the accomodation.
8. The infomrationm provided re WiFi is incorrect and I was infomred to get the info via the WiFi router - for the money charged this is also veryt poor service.
9. They show a 9.7 star rating - for the life of me I do not know how they have this.
- Martin (8/5): - The view from the seating area beside the swimming pool is fantastic at night and lit by the morning sun. We appreciated the welcome pack of food on the side and drinks in the fridge.
- Alison (10/5): A centrally located apartment with a great view. - We loved our stay in the Acropolis View Penthouse. Rita was so helpful and friendly. She greeted us on arrival and showed us around. She was very contactable and responded promptly. The apartment itself had beautiful balconies and the view from the pool was first rate! The apartment is an easy walk into central Athens and all of the sites.
- Philippe (10/5): -
- Eli (10/5): - La comunicació amb l'amfitrió ha sigut molt ràpida i amable. L'apartament ha superat les nostres expectatives. El millor, sense cap dubte, la piscina i les increíbles vistes de l'acròpoli!
- Connor (10/5): -
- Loide D'Amato (10/5): Amazing -
- Anonym (10/5): Wenn die Terrasse mit Pool benutzt werden kann, ist die Unterkunft fantastisch. Steht diese Terrasse nicht zur Verfügung - Der fantastische Ausblick auf die Akropolis von der Terrasse mit Pool. Der Vermieter hat uns einen Parkplatz in seiner privaten Garage zur Verfügung gestellt. Unsere Kontaktperson vor Ort war außerordentlich freundlich. Der Weg bergauf von der Stadt zur Unterkunft - aber das ist der Preis für die Aussicht.
- Justine (10/5): -
- Anne-Fran%E7oise (8/5): Très bien ! - - la situation
- la nourriture et les boissons mises à disposition à notre arrivée - l'indisponibilité de la piscine
- Emma (10/5): Fantastic accommodation and a warm welcome - Absolutely loved our stay! The apartment was spotlessly clean, and we received a fantastic welcome on arrival. Very comfortable and had everything we needed. It's located in a brilliant area, within walking distance of many of the main sights, but still very quiet and peaceful. The pool was a real highlight in a very hot city. Cannot recommend this place enough!
- Kimberly (10/5): Great views and excellent place for a local stay outside of the tourist zone. - This studio apartment was the best for our weekend stay in Athens. The host meet us in person and even shared a great list of local stores and restaurants. The location is super great outside of the busy city center but possible to reach many sights by walking, metro, or taxi. The apartment itself was fully equipped and stocked with drinks, snacks, and toiletries. The space and views were great and we were able to use both the terrace or pool every day, a desirable bonus in Athens. I would absolutely choose to rebook this apartment when returning to Athens. The TV was not a smart tv and channels are limited. On the weekend there was nighttime music, but these are things I would expect in normal life here.
- Julie (10/5): An Athens stay above & beyond our expectations. - The multiple breathtaking views, location, security, friendly & attentive hosts were far better than a typical experience. The hosts provided everything; no detail was missed. In fact, some bakery & food items for breakfast were ready and waiting. It was wonderful to jump into the pool after a hot day of sight-seeing! Restaurant recommendations were awesome- STEPA was the best! We would definitely visit again! Nothing was missing, everything was as described & more. Since we were traveling for a month a washer/ dryer would have been handy; but not essential.
- Lynne (10/5): Fantastic stay in an amazing apartment - Great facilities, location and fantastic views of Athens Nothing to dislike
- Hunter (10/5): Our stay felt authentic and quaint in this amazing loft - This loft was so quaint and had amazing balcony views of the entire city. We felt right at home. Our hosts were very welcoming and even provided breakfast and snack items for our stay.
- Oliver (10/5): Exceptional -
- Piotr (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was great :)
- Milton (8/5): Very good -
- Alexander (10/5): Incredible location and views—best value in all of Athens - The multiple patios were incredible, as were the views. The pool was also a great thing to have on hot Athens days. And Michael/Vassilis were incredible hosts—the kitchen came stocked with wine, snacks, breakfast, fresh bread, etc, and their communication was amazing.
- Alexander (10/5): relaxing - one of the best appartements I stayed in. The view was simply amazing. We stayed for two nights and loved every moment of it. Michael is such a great host and helped us with every question during our stay. For me hands down the best appartement to stay in Athene!
- Erez (10/5): It was lovely and very worth it - The location was great, with 3 balconies and a pool
Michael (property manager) was amazing and waited to check us in during the night, food was already set up for us and the fridge was full of goodies.
The owner has an amazing cat which is an added bonus if you like cats! (if you don't then you don't have to let her in) The beds are not that comfortable, AC is very loud, could use a little bit of renovation
- Iulia (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was amazing
- Wheatley (10/5): The best accomodation in Athens - Arcopolis view penthouse is absolutely incredible value for money. The views in every direction are stunning and some of the best in the whole of Athens. Michael was extremely helpful - providing excellent recommendations and was always responsive when we had questions. The neighbourhood is extremely safe for walking around. We honestly can’t fault a single thing from our stay here and will definitely rebook in the future!
- Martin (8/5): Thoroughly enjoyable - Great location and the host was incredibly helpful and welcoming. The neighbour- Greek Prime Minister!
- Vickie (9/5): Superb -
- Anne (10/5): Exceptional - The key thing about this apartment is the outside space - the unmatched views of the city in different directions from several balconies, and the pool. Michael was a fantastic host, helpful with advice and providing a very generously stocked fridge, and it was good to know he was always available to help. The apartment itself is small but has everything you need. We were in Athens in a heatwave, but we managed fine with the fan and aircon provided. For the location and views alone, this has to be one of the best places to stay in Athens.
- Nickye (10/5): Amazing apartment - Great location.
Plenty of restaurants, bars and coffee shops very close by. City centre 10-15 minute walk.
Apartment is wonderful. Fully equipped and comfortable. Amazing views from the numerous balconies.
Big thanks to Michael, we loved the apartment and will return very soon. Nothing. Everything was perfect.
- Andy (10/5): Amazing - Better than the pictures Nothing I did not like
- Peter (10/5): A brief but wonderful stay in an apartment deserving of Athens 👌 - The property was absolutely pristine, and set in a beautiful location. If you are looking for an apartment that has it all, then this is the place. The balcony beside the bedroom had a breathtaking view of Athens from upon high, and presented a clear view of the Acropolis and Parthenon.
I’ve stayed in Athens many times and never have I stayed in a place that presented comfort and a picture perfect view of Athens quite like this one. The apartment was stocked with beers and soft drinks in the fridge, plenty of fruit and also bread, Greek yogurt and all the kitchen utensils required for cooking and meals. The owner, Vassilis, was a wonderful host that will welcome you with a genuine smile and show you around the place and also provide you with information on places to visit in Athens.
There is also a private pool with a terrace that gives you an even better view of the Parthenon. But quite remarkably an uninterrupted view of mount Lycabettus towering above your position. There really isn’t anywhere else quite like this to stay in Athens. I would not hesitate to stay here again, as I don’t think you could do better. The pictures almost do it justice, but it has to be seen to be believed. I just wish I’d have stayed longer. There’s nothing I could fault about this place. Exemplary cleanliness, authentic Athenian feel and a host full of enthusiasm for your visit. The best bird’s eye views of one of the greatest cities you could visit.
- Samantha (8/5): Very good -
- Martin (9/5): Superb -
- Hilda (7/5): Good -
- Kriszti (10/5): Very gentle host, beautiful view to the city, really recommand the apartment. - Vassilis is a very gentle host, really recommand the apartment.
- Michelle (10/5): Gem in Athens - We loved the breathtaking view of the Acropolis and the swimming pool. The three balconies, two lots of outdoor tables and chairs are perfect for alfresco dining. The kitchen was well equipped, and the host generously provided some drinks and breakfast supplies. The convenience of being within walking distance to all major attractions makes this spot a perfect blend of comfort and exploration. Highly recommended for an unforgettable Athens experience! Nothing.
- Iesmiņa (10/5): Exceptional - I am just in love with this place! The view was unbeliveble!
The stuff was so helpful and kind.
It was the best days in my life. Everything was just perfect!
The photos and video can't give this real feeling.
- Sarah (9/5): Lovely apartment and exceptional views - The location was great, just 15 mins walk from the center of Athens with all the bars and restaurants. We loved the pool and the views were exceptional. Would definitely recommend staying there when in Athens. The shower is quite small and the aircon is great but quite loud having it on when sleeping.
- Nick (10/5): Exceptional - Our host met us at the apartment and kindly spent some time advising us of the area and showing us all this apartment has to offer. It was also a very pleasant surprise to have the kitchen stocked with enough complimentary food and drink to see us through two breakfasts. Stunning views, a private roof top pool, and in a prime position being both central and safe, will see us return to this wonderful apartment.
- Lilit (9/5): Super view, location, pool and host! - Location (only 15min walk to Athens cute city centre and flea market), view over city and acropolis and private pool (ask for availability) were superb! The area we were in had lots of police so it felt really safe. Michael, who welcomed us, was an amazing host as well! Very friendly, informative and always there to help! I also loved the fact that there are 2 balconies, one on each side of the rooftop apartment! The apartment is at the top of the hill (hence the gorgeous view) but bit difficult to get home, so always taxi needed. It's not expensive though around 6 euro from city centre - but from Thursday evening onwards it gets busy and expect to pay around 15 euro for stopping a taxi as FreeNow is so busy and I personally couldn't find a driver during peak moments
- Jennifer (10/5): Fabulous! - Fantastic outside balconies including pool with views over city.
- Silviu (10/5): Exceptional - We had the most unforgettable stay at this fantastic accommodation!
The apartment itself was a true gem. Modern, stylish, and meticulously maintained, it offered all the comforts of home and more. The private pool was a real treat, giving us the luxury of enjoying it exclusively.
But what made this experience truly exceptional was the host. He went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Not only did he greet us warmly upon arrival, but he also surprised us with thoughtful touches that made us feel special. Finding high-quality breakfast items and a delightful bottle of wine in the room was a pleasant surprise that set the tone for our entire stay.
I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing experience. I can't wait to return for another fabulous stay in the future! Nothing to mention
- Luke (10/5): One of a kind experience in Athens - Hands down the best possible place to stay in Athens, beating all of the five star hotels. The photos do not do it justice. In every way from hospitality to location this was the most incredible place to stay. Nothing
- Arjan (9/5): Superb -
- Oddvar (8/5): A charming apartment with magnificent views and a trustworthy host - Very lovely place indeed!
Perfect for 2-3 persons.
- 2 terraces with superb view over Athens city and not to the neighbours and vice versa.
- Clean and with essential things like toilet paper: Yes
- The host was very helpful and forthcoming!
Will we return one day?
- Definitely, but I will say rather not so we can have this place four ourselves 🤪 really! if you are having trouble walking steep hills/roads and/or need a wheelchair this is probably not a good place for you.
There is an elevator on site, but it does not connect to this apartment directly.
BTW: Athens is quite hilly too!
- Tree (10/5): Amazing special and spectacular quiet and beautiful - Michael was amazing so kind and the generous provisions so greek so unexpected. The views were absolutely amazing. I would definitely come again the position is in a beautiful safe area my own lift Nothing I loved it
- Rahkese (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hasness (10/5): What a great choice! - Incredible location. Magnificent views. The rooftop pool was the perfect end to a great day. The apartment was quiet, clean, and well stocked. Michael was so helpful, thank you for everything!
- Marta (10/5): Exceptional - It is a wonderful penthouse with the best 360º views of the city with beautiful pool and terrace. The host could not be more friendly and was attentive to any necessary question. 100% recommended and looking forward to coming back!
- Kennedy (9/5): Great stay! - Very safe. A great location. The host was very helpful and welcoming.
- Daniel (10/5): Clean, cozy, central. Amazing views and a wonderful host! -
