Best location in Athens!

Our family spent a few nights in this lovely property which is right in the Plaka, within walking distance to everything! The location is perfect for sightseeing and the nearby restaurants were very welcoming to us and the young children in our group. And the washer and dryer were a major plus for anyone on an extended trip. We put it to good use for sure! Highly recommended!

Perfect stay in Athens

There aren’t enough positives to say about this villa. It’s location is ideal, I’m the heart of the Plaka neighborhood of Athens and on one of the most picturesque streets in the city. There are many restaurants and cafes right outside the door. The villa itself has all the modern creature comforts one would want while still maintaining its charming character.

Perfect Location

My family - myself, husband, 2 kids 17 & 19 and a niece (20) and nephew (22) stayed at this Plaka property for 2 nights. Someone was there to meet us when we arrived. Very easy check-in process! Lots of info provided on the neighborhood and surrounding area. The home was very clean, spacious and had everything we needed. However, can't say enough about the location. So convenient, with easy access to restaurants, historical sights and shopping.

Steamy visit to Plaka

This property is charming, comfortable and conveniently located for access to the Metro, ancient sites like both Agoras, Anafiotika and the Acropolis, and loads of restaurants. My only caveats: as outlined in other reviews, the two front bedrooms are extremely loud with street noise all night long and the loft (a great space) is accessible through a bedroom - so complicated if different bedtimes.

Awesome Place in a Perfect Neighborhood

This place was amazing! The unit had everything that we needed - comfy beds, towels, water, shampoo, etc.. The owner went above and beyond by leaving a book that had recommended restaurants, which we tried and they were so good! The location was perfect! You can’t beat this location! We walked to everything - the Acropolis, markets, restaurants! This place was the most perfect place to stay, especially after a long day of flying from the US with jet lag. It was perfect! You will not be disappointed.

Athens is a breeze from this property!

We absolutely loved stay at Athenian House Plaka. The location was exceptional and we parked at Plaka Parking just a block from the VRBO. George took good care of our 9 person van. Anna was exceptional to work with and met our every need. We have some mobility issues that require us to walk only short distances. This property was so close to the things we wanted to see and the shopping and dining opportunities that it was perfect. The beds were superb and bath/wc facilities were excellent. Our family of 4 adults and three children enjoyed preparing our food and dining in the spacious greatroom. We were comfortable for four days. Our walks to the Keramikos, Acropolis, Acropolis Museum were just minutes away. And when we dined out for breakfast...it was right next door (with a discount!). Shopping was delightful in Place area and everyone ww dealt with was glad to have us in Athens. Karen and I have been traveling to Greece since 1972/73 and this was the best place we ever stayed! You must try it for yourself!

This house was adorable and perfect for our family of 5 (husband and I, 2 adult children and 1 significant other).

Great location.

Anna and her staff were excellent and always available. Location was wonderful. Only recommendations are (1) inform people that the plumbing is old and does not allow paper waste to be flushed because it could impact the decision to book or not, especially with children in the group, and (2) inform people that the restaurant next door has two tables directly under your front window and can smoke, drink, etc. the entire time the place is open.

Amazing stay in Athens!

The Athenian House in the Plaka neighborhood was the perfect property for our visit to Athens! We had a group of 10 adults and the house accommodated all of us very comfortably and the teenagers loved staying in the attic! The location of this property cannot be beat! It is located on one of the most beautiful streets in the area, there are many taverns, restaurants, coffee shops, pubs, shops, etc. within very short walking distance. It is also a short walk to the Acropolis and other monuments. The area right outside the front door (the "perch" as we called it)quickly became our favorite spot for morning coffee and afternoon/evening cocktails with great service from the neighboring tavern. And Anna the host was extremely helpful in arranging airport transfers, in arranging a guide for a walking tour of the area and in suggesting places to eat and have a drink in the area. I would absolutely recommend this property and I hope to have the chance to stay there again. The entire experience was perfect! Thank you!

Sehr schöne Unterkunft in exzellenter Lage

Nur 5 Minuten von der U-Bahn-Station Monastiraki entfernt liegt das Haus mitten in der wunderbaren Altstadt von Athen unterhalb der Akropolis. Aufgrund der zentralen Lage lässt sich vieles zu Fuß besichtigen. Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist exzellent. Es gibt unzählige Restaurants in der Nähe. Die Kommunikation mit Anna war sehr nett und prompt. Die Unterkunft ist für einen Besuch Athens unbedingt zu empfehlen.
