Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Plaka, Athens

Could not recommend this place more. Old charm with modern amenities, very quiet neighbourhood and easily walkable to all major sites. Christos is extremely kind and greeted us the first day. A great person to converse with. Book this place for Athens.

Kleio's hospitality and graciousness as a host was truly the highlight of staying at her property. She clearly went above and beyond our expectations to make us feel welcome and taken care of, especially after a long overseas flight or after a long day of hiking around Athens or nearby cities. She had ample supplies a weary traveler might need or forgotten on hand. We are super grateful for the attention to detail Kleio put into thinking about her guests. The location was ideal for launching off on daily adventures and delightful to come back to after exploring all day and into the night. Simply a perfect location and property beautifully appointed and maintained. Hands down one of the best AirBnB stays I have had. Don't hesitate in selecting this place. Book ASAP.....

This apartment is just WOW, whether you are sitting on the front verandah or on the top deck. The view of Acropolis is just breathing. Gianni is the best host ever. His responses were super fast and helpful. He can help with food, islands, what to do, wine etc. Apartment was so comfortable, that we didn't want to leave. Gianni has everything what you need. Not going to mention, olive oil, spices, the herbs etc. We were so grateful to stay there and can't wait to go back again. Thank you so much for all your help, Gianni.

Great place to stay! Felt just like home with friendly hosts. I would definitely want to come here again if I visit Athens again!

We had a lovely stay here. The place is a great size with everything we needed for a great trip. It was easy to walk to all the major sights and lots of restaurants in a closer proximity which were much better value than the ones closer to the Acropolis. Would definitely stay again!

Christos was an excellent host, we ended up meeting him at the place but he sent clear instructions in case timing didn't work out. He gave great suggestions for local restaurants and bars and was responsive to any messages! The place is a quick 20 minute walk to the acropolis area or a super easy train ride on the public transport! thanks Christos xx

Exactly what we needed.

The ceilings, natural light, beautiful craftsmanship of the wood, REAL ART! We have travelled extensively and enjoyed some beautiful Airbnb experiences. Christos space has moved to #1 on our list. My doctor, his parents were born in Greece, advised I should limit our time in Athens to 2 or 3 days. We are so glad we didn’t. Christos created a book, which I was hoping to buy but he gave us, that is BRILLIANT. The book is a pictorial and informational guide to Athens and Greece. Which he told me he could reproduce quite easily. If you stay at his space you will understand my surprise. Everything you need is a few minutes walk away. We came to Greece because of the history and the islands. We fell in love with Greece, the kindness of its people and generosity of spirit. Christos and his place may be the best of it.

We loved our stay here! The apartment is spacious and thoughtfully laid out, with a comfortable living room, a cozy reading nook, a well-equipped kitchen, a hallway, and a bedroom with a walk-in closet. We would have spent more time in the living room if the lighting had been a bit brighter, though. The neighborhood is lively, with plenty of hip restaurants and cafés within walking distance. The host also provided a helpful booklet with local recommendations, which we really appreciated. It was also convenient to walk to Philopappos Hill and cross over to the Acropolis from there. The only downside for me was that there were often people sitting outside in the morning, sometimes right in front of the gate, which startled me. We didn’t feel entirely comfortable opening the living room window either for the same reason.

The place was just as described, the view was amazing. It was in a perfect spot to walk to everything, safe, close to the metro and one of the best places we have stayed at. Hoping this spot is open when we come back to Athens. Check in and out was easy and welcoming. Σας ευχαριστώ!!!

We were blown away by the location in Athens and Eva’s assistance from booking to checking out. Great location, so close to Acropolis and Plaka. She sent us recommendations for everything and arranged taxis for arrival and departure. The apartment is spacious, clean, and has incredible views. We would definitely stay again!!

We loved Renata’s apartment. It’s in the Koukaki neighborhood of Athens, a short walk to Plaka and a very neighborhood feel, which we loved. The apartment is clean, spacious and well laid out. The little terrace was so lovely. We’d have our coffee in the mornings out there, looking at the Acropolis. I would stay at this apartment again in a heartbeat.

I stayed at Aris’s place for three nights and everything was great. The apartment was very clean and well-equipped. It’s around a 45-minute train ride from the airport and just a 2–5 minute walk to Monastiraki metro station, which makes getting around Athens super easy. You can also walk to many restaurants and historical sites nearby. The private, secure entrance was a nice touch and made me feel safe. The private terrace is a great bonus, perfect for relaxing in the evenings. From the window in the room, there’s a beautiful view of the Acropolis. The bathroom and bed were very clean, and the air conditioning made sleeping comfortable even during hot summer nights. Aris was also flexible with check-in, which I really appreciated. Whenever I reached out with a question, he responded very quickly and was always helpful. Highly recommended!

We would not have been able to navigate the location, building, and process without the detailed and helpful instructions! We immediately fell in love with this neighborhood! The apartment was private and clean, and thank goodness for the AC. Some days, we would cool off in the apartment before venturing out again! Very nice place and great host! Thank you!

Maria's apartment is small but nice. It is in a quiet neighborhood, but centrally located and with enough restaurants within walking distance. The bed was lovely, due to the nice thin sheet we did not need the air conditioning (which was there). When showering, the holder of the shower head was broken. Maria arranged for this to be replaced the same day. She is also very friendly.

Highly recommend! Totally pleased with this apartment! Great space, clean and very welcoming. Great to have extra pillows for bed. We didn’t cook but kitchen is well stocked. Cris was very helpful and kind and the manual contained all instructions needed to make use of the apartment. Most of all, we loved the balcony with the Acropolis view!

Central location, spacious apartment and host very accommodating and responsive. Great to have a washing machine. The baked cookies and fresh fruit a bonus!

This apartment was everything our family of four hoped for and more! It was in a great location, with so many attractions and restaurants within just a few minutes walk. The host was helpful and responsive. And the view, including from both the apartment itself and the rooftop deck, was absolutely incredible! I would highly recommend this apartment to any group looking for a memorable stay in central Athens! Bravo!

John’s place was great! The views for the huge balcony/terrace were incredible. We were there for 2 nights and able to walk restaurants, cool little neighborhoods and the Acropolis. His place is located deep in the center of the city. Highly recommend taxi or public transit. Again, views were outstanding!!

Had a lovely time in Athens with my Wife and our baby. We felt very comfortable in Fotis’ air bnb. It was exactly what we needed! It was very clean. Also, very good communication between Fotis and us. He recommended us some great restaurants and things to see/do. Only a 10/15 min walk from all the main attractions in Athens. Would 100% recommend come and stay again in the future!

We had a great time here ! The location is perfect. There are many restaurants, shops, pharmacies and grocery stores in very short walking distances. The views are absolutely amazing. You certainly won’t find a better place in Athens. We have had many great moments in this penthouse. We hope to be back some day.

Really great stay here. Can’t say enough good things and the recommendations for places nearby were incredible. Really beautiful hosts. View of the acropolis was amazing. Being able to enjoy a glass of wine with that view in the background is hard to beat. Will definitely be coming back!

Natasa and Sotiris were wonderful hosts! Very quick responses to any questions we had during our stay and provided clear instructions for check-in and check-out. The location was perfect, as everything was walkable. The apartment is also right near a subway stop, so we were able to easily access public transit as well. We felt very welcome and appreciated by the hosts. Highly recommend!!

Me and my husband LOVED this place for our final stop of our 2-week Europe trip! Description and photos are accurate- maybe doesn't do it full justice actually. Exceptional hosts and proactive with very detailed check in photos etc. so it was easy for our Uber from the port to find and seemless check-in. The Acron Luxury Apartments are located on the 6th floor of the building and are completely private. Plunge pool/jacuzzi was perfect and everything was spotless. Cleaning stopped by on day 2 to deliver fresh towels, service the pool and bring more coffee. The location is perfect, very walkable to the Acropolis and Plaka "old town." Cafe and convenience store on the ground floor was great. About a block away across the street is the Niche Hotel with Stork Rooftop Bar- really good food and amazing view overlooking the Acropolis! Also check out Tiki Athens around the corner for good drinks. Being on the main road, it is impressivley quite with the doors shut. Can't think of a negative!!
