Fantastic property and location

An incredible property in a beautiful part of Athens. Hadrian’s gate was just on the other side of the road, and there was a great view of the Acropolis from the rear windows. It was absolutely perfect for me as I was running the authentic marathon. The shuttle buses out to marathon left from the Parliament building a few minutes walk away, and the Panathinaiko Stadium where we finished was an equally short walk (thankfully!). Tina arranged taxis from, and back to, the airport for us, and also organised a tour guide for us who we spent a fabulous 4 hours with being shown around the Acropolis and the Acropolis museum. This was my first time in Athens but I hope it won’t be my last as I absolutely loved it.

The perfect location in Athens

My friend and I (30, F) stayed at Tina’s place for a week and it was perfect! Not only were we within walking distance to all of the central sights in Athens, but also close to a car rental location. We actually didn’t even find the need to take the metro because the location of Tina’s place is so ideal. She arranged transport to and from the airport with a taxi service (Leonardo and Yannis are awesome!) and provided ample ideas for our stay. Tina went above and beyond, was very quick to respond, and I couldn’t recommend her more as a VRBO host.

Fabulous apartment in unbeatable location!

We absolutely loved this stylish and comfortable apartment. The views are truly amazing.......of the Acropolis from the back and Hadrian's Arch/Temple of Zeus from the front. It was 5 mins walk to the Acropolis and 7 mins to Syntagma Square. It is in the picturesque area of Plaka with great restaurants on the door step.....our favourite was Diogenes Restaurant ....fabulous food in a fabulous location(less than 5 mins walk), Tina, the host, was very helpful and accommodating both before and during our stay. We arrived very late at night and Tina arranged for us to be picked up by her trusted taxi driver, Yannis, who was waiting for us. All in all a wonderful experience and we cannot recommend this amazing apartment too highly!

Best location, great host

The location of this lovely apartment is absolutely perfect! In the centre of the old Plaka district, surrounded by the major tourist sites as well as restaurants, shops, lively bars and an AMAZING outdoor rooftop cinema with a view of the acropolis only 3min walk away. Tina was so helpful, and kindly let us stay during the day of departure as our plane left late. She set us up with the brilliant taxi driver Yannis who drove us all the way out to the Temple of Poseidon an hour out of the city, which was one of our highlights of the trip. If you are looking to stay somewhere in Athens- this is the place you want!! Thank you for taking such good care of us Tina!

Superb spacious apartment, ideally situated, stunning views.

The two bedroom apartment with a large lounge, dinning area and well equipped kitchen is furnished to a very high standard. The photographs do truly reflect how attractive this spacious apartment is. Our stay was two couples for one week and at no time did we feel a lack of space. Air conditioning throughout was a blessing. The views from the apartment of Hadrian's arch at any time of day are spectacular as is the view at the back, particularly at night, of the Parthenon. The location, whilst on a busy road, is ideally situated in a very attractive area with a huge number and variety of tavernas, restaurants and bars all of very good standard together with shops less than one minutes walk away. We have no hesitation in recommending this apartment which we would rate as 5 star. The owner, Tina Liva, was there to greet us on arrival having organised a taxi to collect us from the airport. We hope, should we visit Athens again, to be able to return to Tina's apartment. It would be hard to find a better place at such a very reasonable cost. David Howarth - UK

Great apartment in an amazing location.

Tina's flat in Athens is a great place to stay. It is beautifully furnished and decorated with amazing views on both sides. We had a brilliant stay here in April with our two children. Tina was very helpful and met us at the flat at the start of our stay. The location is perfect, a short walk from the Acropolis and Plaka. I thoroughly recommend the apartment.

WOW

What a truly fabulous apartment, right in the centre of Athens with everything on your doorstep. (Restaurants, Acropolis, metro and plenty of coffee shops). From the moment of contacting Tina about the booking, she was extremely helpful and efficient. As we were arriving in the early hours she arranged for a taxi to collect us from the airport. Yannis the driver was fantastic who we used again throughout our stay. The next day Tina came and showed us round the local area, making suggestions of where to eat etc. During our stay Tina contacted us to make sure everything was ok. The apartment was immaculate and the views were stunning. When we return to Athens we will definitely be staying here again. Without hesitation I would recommend staying in this stunning apartment. We have had a wonderful stay, thank you very much Tina. PS - we would give you 10 stars if we could

Beyond Expectations!

I spent 3 nights in Tina's apartment in Athens and I could not recommend it more: It's literally, in the heart of Athens, within walking distance from all important sites (Acropolis, Plaka, Parliament square) and 2 minutes from a central downtown metro station. Also not only is it close to the Acropolis, but it's views of the Acropolis and the temple of Olympian Zeus are spectacular!! Furthermore, the apartment is brand new, simple and super clean -which is always a priority. It really is beyond expectations! Finally, Tina was a super nice and discreet host, always responding on time and making getting in and out stress-free. She gave detailed instructions on how to move around and navigate the house and still checked in to see how everything was. Again, highly recommended!!

Fabulous apartment, location, and host!

If you want to stay in the heart of Athens with walking distance to the attractions, this is your place! We were here for 3 nights and walked to the acropolis, all Around Plaka, and Monastiraki, and to lycobettus hill. The apartment was clean and modern, with the best view of Hadrians arch and the temple of zeus(best place for wine at the end of the day). No need for rooftop restaurants with views of the acropolis, you have them right out your kitchen window here! In addition, Tina was so helpful in arranging airport transports with a trusted driver, and also a side trip to the temple of Poseidon with the same driver. She was kind and courteous and so very helpful and kind, a true testament to Greek Hospitality! Stay here, you will not be disappointed!

Incredible views

This place is in the center of the city. Across the street from the Hadrian Arch. And spectacular views of the sunrise and the Acropolis! Keep in mind; this city never sleeps. Lots of traffic, but nothing that ear plugs wont cure! Lots of walking, everything was nearly within walking distance. There is so much to do & see! Its incredible to see how people live within the city. We even took a jetski boat to Santorini for a night; that is also doable from here. It is a “must” see! You wont be disappointed.

Stay away during the summer

A/C was not working properly and the apartment was 34.2C/93.6F inside. There are three A/C units inside the apartment, but neither of them was working properly to cool a room. We closed bedroom doors and closed the bathroom doors to help cool the rooms , but it made for a difficult night of sleep. Left the apartment early, due to the A/C issue. Tina, the owner, did come by and said the A/C units were working properly, as she had them serviced in the spring. She said the rooms would eventually cool, but 24-hrs later and there was not much temperature difference. As mentioned by others, there is street noise, which is louder than other cities and hotels in major cities in the USA I have stayed at. Tina did provide a full credit for the 2nd night and discounted the first night. If you don’t mind hearing street noise with the doors and windows closed and it’s not summer time, this is a great place to stay.

Amazing stay in the Plaka

Our stay at Tinas property was fantastic. The property is exactly as described and so close to everything. The beds were comfortable, the apartment very safe and clean and it could not be more perfect for two couples travelling together. What stood out for us was Tina as a host. She helped both couples artiving separately book transportation from the airport and then together to the cruise ship terminal with fantastic drivers. Then she also set us up with the most amazing guide to see the acropolis. Her communication and guidance go far beyond any hosts ive ever stayed with for a VRBO and she helped make our stay effortless. I would definitely stay here again on anther trip to Athens. Tina....

I love my country because of the sun, the sea and its culture and history and i hope you'll love it too !!!

Why they chose this property

i love this property because it is in the oldest neighborhood of Athens,Plaka, a very picturesque area under the Acropolis.It has a breathtaking view to Hadrian Arch, the Temple of Zeus and Acropolis.It is a romantic area of Athens because of the old buildings,the ancient ruins between them and the narrow streets. It is very nice to walk in these streets of old Athens and have a coffee or a drink or eat at the small taverns and restaurants and taste the traditional greek cuisine.I recommend it to you and i wish you a pleasant stay in Athens!!!!
