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.

We stayed here for 2 weeks. It's a great location within walking distance of all the major sites in Athens. The neighborhood is quiet and less touristy than the Plakka area. Plenty of good restaurants and coffee shops Irene was a lovely host

Irene was the absolute best host! She went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The apartment was immaculately clean and had all the comforts of home. 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!

Perfect location in Athens
We had a wonderful timeout in Athens for 4 days in Irene‘s appartment: many places of interest are easily accessible, even by foot. It was a joy to have parks, bustling markets, yummy restaurants, shops, museums and relaxed cafes in walking distance. Athens is certainly more than the Acropolis! Irene‘s welcome was warm, her advice worthwhile and her aircon generously used as a heater because of the unusual cold.Thx a lot for your hospitality, Irene, hope to see you again!

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.

Fantastic location, view, and host!
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.
