About this property

The Burton Luxury 1BR in Plaka, Athens

A newly refurbished 1BR apartment in the heart of Plaka. You probably know already that Plaka is the heart of old Athens and by far the most popular and charming quarter of the city. The advantages of living here is the great accessibility to all the main sites and great restaurants, but also the peace and quiet of a small village, something unique to this part of town. It really is a step back in time.You will be met by one of our hosts who will give you the keys and show you around the place.

Great place, located in the center of Plaka but on a very quiet side street so we were never bothered by noise. It was very hot in Athens while we were there but the AC worked well and kept the apartment at a comfortable temperature. Check-in and check-out were very easy and the host was very responsive,

The place was beautiful, the location was perfect, right next to restaurants and shopping in the heart of Plaka, and close (short walk) to the Acropolis, and the host was extremely helpful, responding to questions within minutes with thorough answers. I would absolutely stay here again if I am in Athens.

The apartment was a perfect (11 out of 1-10) location. It's in middle of Placa, slightly off main path, so quiet, but yet near everything. Wonderful to be able to easily walk to Acropolis & Acropolis museum, shops & many restaurants. Plenty of storage for clothing & belongings. AC units in bedroom & living room worked quite well keeping apartment cool on hot days. Bed was comfortable, bathroom large & provided plenty of space for toiletries. Kitchen was complete with full size stove, refrigerator & microwave. Dish soap & sponge was provided. Pots, pans, dishes, flat wear, & very basic cooking utensils, Negatives are: although full size refrigerator, there are absolutely no kitchen supplies to cook with. Usually with previous VRBOs there are a few items. There wasn’t even salt & pepper. No kitchen towels, napkins or hot pads. . No food storage containers or steamer for cooking. We bought a tiny bottle of oil & left it. If you plan to cook anything, & it's possible, pack a few things. To turn on stove, you’ll need to go to panel behind the door. There wasn't any booklet that often is provided w/VRBOs to tell you more about the home/appt you are staying in. Unlike picture shown, the appt is fully shuttered from the outside, so not much light coming in. This probably helps the appt stay cool. We'd absolutely stay here again, but knowing what we know now, we'd pack a few things. A little unclear about getting in. Once notified, was very clear & we got in. Enjoy you're stay!

Great location, easy walkable access to historical sites, quiet neighbors. You're just on the outskirts of the most touristy area which is a great spot. Not in a crush of people but also close to the sights.

Great Location

The flat was clean and well stocked. The location was perfect. Close to everything but down an alley so the noise from the street was minimal. Communication with the management was excellent. They even arrange from our transport to and from the airport. We would definitely stay here again.

Right place for the right time

Everything was great even the neighbors. We expected a good location and good lodging but our 5 days here were outstanding. Plaka is clearly a top area to visit and to enjoy being a matter of short walks to fine dining, the Acropolis, its new museum and many more choices.

Lovely little apartment in Plaka

This apartment is lovely and has everything that you need for a great vacation. The best part about it was the location right in the middle of everything. It was about five Minute walk through the shopping streets of Plaka to the entrance of the acropolis. There is a little grocery store close by too. This is a great place to stay.

Good bed, great location. Comfortable but not luxury. Does have stairs (maybe 10) to apartment door. Washer tried to eat my clothes, finally got them out - soaking wet and with moldy smell. No view and very dark. Outdoor area could use some love.

This one bedroom property is located in a very nice neighbourhood. It is within walking distances to all the visit spots. We spent 4 nights here and never need to take any public transportation. There are tons of restaurants right outside the building, but the property itself is very quiet. The apartment is well furnished. It even has a stereo CD player with quite some Greek singers. If there is something they can do better, I would recommend that they should have some facial tissue or paper towel. In general, I would highly recommend this place.

Great place in Plaka

The property was easy to find and looked exactly as pictured. What a great neighborhood to stay in! Communication from the hosts was timely, corteous, and helpful. The pictures sent with our booking confirmation showing where to locate the keys and so forth were very useful. Even though it's in the middle of a crowded and lively area, the apartment was very quiet. I wouldn't hesitate to book again

What a perfect location

Truly steps away from the main Plaka walkway but quiet because it is a pedestrian area. We could walk everywhere from here that we wanted to see. The bed was comfortable-important for jet lag- and there was air-conditioning to cool everything down to sleep well. The managers were quick to check and double check in and allowed us to get in early and leave our luggage, so helpful. We felt like we won the lotto as place to eat were around the corner and we were in the heart of history.

Best possible location in the middle of Plaka

We were very pleasantly surprised at how the Barton was one of the more economically priced options but still in the heart of Plaka. All of the major sites were within a 15-minute walk, and two metro stations were each 10 minutes away. We had some questions during our stay, and our host was very responsive, either by phone or email. In summary, a very clean, comfortable, and safe place. There are more luxurious options in the area, but the location-price combo was fantastic.
