Acropolis view penthouse

Top notch place with an amazing view of the Athens’ skyline. Quiet (even during the weekend), safe, strong air con and decently comfortable bed. The owner even left some groceries (fruit, milk, cereals etc) and toiletries, which was super appreciated. The rooftop pool was also great and had an amazing view over the Parthenon (keep in mind the pool is not heated). The area is nice and while it is true you have to walk uphill if coming from Panepistimio metro station, the descent is gentler if going towards the National Gardens via Irodotou road. Overall, it was a perfect staying.

The bathroom might need some renovation: the sink was quite low and very small; the shower also seemed a bit dated…but not a big deal tbh considering all the other positive things. More concerning, I would have liked to have some more info on escape routes. The attic, which is on the eighth floor, is accessible only by elevator (that is what I was told), so keep it in mind if you are afraid of elevators. There are stairs from the loft: They lead to the apartment below, which is then connected to the building stairs through the main door. I imagine the main door of the flat below is kept unlocked at all times in case of any emergency, but if I were the owner I’d make sure escape routes are explained clearly given the particular setting of the flat.

L'appartement est exceptionnel, avec un rooftop et une piscine privative offrant une vue absolument somptueuse sur l'Acropole. Les petites attentions offertes par notre hôte Vassilis ont rendu l'accueil très chaleureux, et il s'est également montré d'une grande disponibilité pour nous partager ses meilleurs conseils locaux. Nous recommandons les yeux fermés !

Le seul point négatif ? Le rooftop est tellement magique qu'on a du mal à quitter l'appartement pour visiter la ville ! 😉

Views of Athens and the acropolis

On a hill so access was steep. Not close to restaurants and central Athens

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.
