Perfect

This was amazing place to get to know Athens. The location cannot be beat—minutes to the acropolis, markets, and restaurants. The space was perfect for our group of five but could easily hold more. Our favorite part of the place was the rooftop terrace—where we would eat our breakfast and happy hours with the beautiful church and the acropolis in full panoramic view. Sports was a wonderful guest and always had quick replies to our questions and request. We strongly recommend this place to everyone!

This is a very good property in the perfect location with an outstanding host. You simply cannot get a better location to visit the historic ( and happening!) area of Athens.

Fantastic stay

I would recommend this property to anyone who wants to stay in the really cool and lively area of Athens. Acropolis and Agora are both less than 10 min away, and lots of restaurants and shopping are right outside of the property, but the place is very quiet and we had a great night's sleep. AC worked well. House is spacious and nicely appointed, very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Super clean as well. Overall amazing stay.

The best all around

OMG. Spyros, the host and this location were the best. The location cannot be beat. It's close to walking everywhere. The vrbo is exactly as portrayed. Lots of room. The rooftop patio, sitting behind the Acropolis was magical. Spyros will help you with car pick up and airport transfers. So happy the beginning of our trip started here..beginning of our trip started here.

Family Time in Greece

We enjoyed our stay and the location was perfect for us. The only 2 things is that we could not really cool off the living area, was very warm and we had multiple incidents with cockroaches in the basement. We informed the owner and he said he would take care of it, and I just wanted to share with others as FYI. Otherwise, everything is great and loved the location.

Fabulous Property Located in the Perfect Location

Making a reservation across the world is very challenging process. Not knowing if the pictures you are viewing of the property are actually as nice as seen on line. This home was amazing!! Exactly as shown and described in the pictures. The location was in the heart of the city with panoramic views of the Parthenon. The owner and management of this home assisted us in making arrangements for every step of our vacation, from picking us up at the airport upon arrival in Greece to transporting us to the Port of Pireaus for our cruise and our returning back to the unit for a second stay and then back to the airport for our return home to the U S. I would recommend this property to all travelers and hope to return there some day! Thank you!!

I loved this property. The location could not be better. Plaka has so many fun shops and restaurants. The views from the rooftop terrace are fantastic (pics are from the terrace). The acropolis is visible from the terrace (behind the church). The beds and pillows were super comfortable. Highly recommend!

Spiros was great and very helpful. The rooftop deck was a huge bonus. (There is nothing like looking down at your friends drinking their morning coffee from the Acopolis). The location was perfect. We could walk everywhere. I highly recommend.

Wow! Perfect site for visiting

This was an amazing place with 2 main floors and a rooftop area for people watching because this is in the heart of everything! We were able to walk to amazing foods and gelato places. Shopping around the corner. Walking distance for the young and the old to the the acropolis. The three bathrooms were coordinated to the three bedrooms. Modern look to the place with lots of stairs. Two separate living rooms with tv. Only thing that may be nice is having a microwave. You really are in the heart of everything! We only need to have a driver for the Vouliagmeni Thermal Spa And Temple Of Poseidon tour, which I highly recommend!

Stole our clothes

The location was good. That’s about it. The place could be cleaner. The beds are not comfortable. The bottom floor floods some when it rained. Our biggest problem was the clothes washer door broke and would not open. So the clothes were stuck in the washer. Not only did the property manager keep our clothes they charged us 100 euros and said we broke it. A door opens and closes. Not sure how we broke it. So stay here at your own risk. Bad communication that was delayed as well.

Great location, amazing rooftop views

I don't think we could have found a more central location with such nice amenities. We were 4 adults and two kids and had plenty of room to spread out. The apartment is well updated, comfortable and had everything we needed, including a washing machine. We really enjoyed the rooftop terrace with the amazing views it offered. It was great to be able to walk out the front door and be so close to so many different restaurants, shops and historical sites. Looking up at the wall of the Acropolis was almost surreal. We would highly recommend a stay at Tripodon Plaka if you are heading to Athens. It was our favorite location on our two week trip to Italy and Greece. Jim met us on our arrival and showed us where everything was and he was available by text and even set up our pick up to return to the airport which took a lot of the stress out of the trip for us. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Best location

Communication with host was easy and prompt. Self check in was very stress free. Property was in great shape, clean and comfortable. But the best was the location. Couldn’t have picked a better place to spend the days in Athens. Close to mayor sites of interest and in the center of very picturesque neighborhoods. Still, because of the trees in front, felt secluded and very quiet at night. Great food right next door and many more options nearby.

Great apartment with view in Athens

We loved our stay in this Athens home - perfect for our family of 5 and an excellent location for exploring Athens. It’s a unique space with a central opening for skylight, which I really liked. The rooftop patio is great - perfect spot for a glass of wine at the end of long days exploring. The A/C worked great - very necessary this time of year. And the bathrooms were nice. We didn’t really use the kitchen - but seemed to have all the essentials. The restaurant right across from it was really good - great place for our first meal in Athens when we were so tired from long journey to get there. And the neighborhood was great - very vibrant with people walking by on their way to all the great restaurants and shops nearby - and, of course, the Acropolis. Communication with the property manager was great - very responsive. Overall, a wonderful property and a great place to stay for your time in Athens.

Best location and host ever

Our family of five loved the apartment. Everything we needed was provided. It's clean, spacious, and laid out in a way to give privacy to all. The rooftop deck is over the top. Spiros met us and gave us great tips. Nothing could have been better. As with all real estate decisions: location, location, location. And this is the best ever. When you are at the Acropolis, you look down at the rooftop deck. Loved the apartment, loved Athens.

Great location! Abundant for 4 to 6 people with great amenities

We loved our stay in Athens. The location is literally in Plaka, 2 mins to shopping, 10 mins to the Acropolis and less than that to the Acropolis museum with lovely restaurants all around. The apartment itself is well furnished with almost all amenities one could look for. Also Spyros and Demitris were both super helpful with arranging transports to the airport, recommending restaurants and also allowing us to check out later based on our flight timings.
