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.

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!

My daughter and I loved this apartment, and its location was a perfect mix of tourist and local. Irene also hooked us up with the best taxi driver. Defiantly recomend!

It really is an Ideal house at the foot of the Acropolis

Location was excellent. Easy walking distance to all the sights. Irene was very nice. She provided us beach towels for our visit to Lake Vouliagmeni (otherwise very expensive to rent towels at lake). We arrived several hours early of checkin time so she graciously let us leave our luggage while she finished preparing home. She gave us the keys and a tour of the home and restaurant recommendations. We went to lunch as she finished prepping and we returned at 230 pm and went straight in to a beautiful “homey” home that was clean and ready for our stay. After a day of touring we came home, turned on the AC. As the house cooled down ( which it did relatively quickly) we climbed up the stairs and enjoyed an amazing view of the acropolis with cooling breezes. This is a hidden gem of a place to stay in Athens. If/when I return to Athens I hope Irenes place is still available to rent. (If you like cats, the cafe down the block is cute… see photo). This was a mother-daughter trip

Perfect spot

We could not have picked a better location. Thissio is indeed THE best place to locate for exploring the best sights of Athens as well as the local culture.The property was spotless and could not have been any better equipped. The Host, Irene, was wonderful and very helpful from the moment we booked.The only fault we could find is that we were 2 couples and the 2nd bedroom really only had a single bed and a cot. We recommend it highly...for a family with 2 children.

This lovely apartment is in the heart of the area around the Acropolis, short walk to the site, Metro, and Plaka areas. Very clean, well-appointed and the host is phenomenal. She helped us find a trusted taxi for a very early morning flight, he was reliable and gave us great tips on things to see, do and taste. This is a true gem!

About the host

Hosted by Irene Karpouzi

Host profile image
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.
