Looking for a supersize apartment fit for a large family in Athens? Acropolis View Alpha+ might be your perfect penthouse. With 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and an open-concept, soccer field-sized (almost) living area, up to 14 people will find plenty of room here - all with a lovely view of the Acropolis and Mount Lykavittos.

A TERRACE TO REMEMBER
The landscaped terrace is our pride and joy. It has outdoor dining, a BBQ grill, and nap-worthy

BEDROOMS FOR EVERYONE
This duplex penthouse has an oversized, open floor plan kitchen, dining and living area.
Two mainfloor bedrooms and two second level bedrooms:
Bedroom 1 - Sleeps 3 - Queen bed, 1 twin bed and an en suite full bathroom
Bedroom 2 - Sleeps 5 - Queen bed, 3 twin beds
On the second level, accessed either by an internal spiral staircase (or for those who like wider stairs, just outside the apartment's front door is a second staircase)
Bedroom 3 - Sleeps 2 adults plus 1 child - Queen + bed child's rollaway - this room connects to
Bedroom 4 - Sleeps 3 - Queen bed and twin bed

The second level bedrooms have direct access to our landscaped private terrace.
**You must be able to climb stairs to access the upper level and terrace**

NOTE: You get the whole place to yourself, no sharing. You won't find our personal belongings in your nightstand.
We've been at this for many years and know how to help travelers make the best of their visit - be it for pleasure or work. Basil and I are full time professional vacation rental managers - you are staying in an intentional holiday home. You won't find anyone's clothes in the drawers but you will find lots of things provided with travelers in mind (some of which are secrets we choose not to share here since that's what makes us special :-)
We'll setup a chat group for your stay - this is the best way to communicate with our team.
When Basil and I are in Athens we do have our own studio in the building - it's on the terrace level (we have our own entrance but you may see us moving across the terrace) - the 2nd level of the property, so you may see us around (and we're always happy to chat & answer any questions in person if you'd like to meet us!)
Wondering what our Athens neighborhood is like & if you can walk to the Acropolis? Use the metro? Tram? Trolley?
Where will you eat? Shop? Find groceries?

Definitely a must! My friends and I shared this place while visiting Athens and it exceeded our expectations. Very spacious and it’s filled with amenities along with kitchenware. An amazing view as well on the terrace. It was a perfect place to stay. The hosts Carole and her husband where very attentive and followed back ASAP. It was overall a pleasant stay and if I go back I will stay there again.

The Acropolis View Alpha+ apartment is a perfect apartment for your stay in Athens. Spacious, clean, convenient, and exactly as described in the listing. Carole/Basil were awesome with their communication and restaurant recommendations as well. Niko was fantastic with the airport transfer to the apartment. The location is perfect - walk to all of the historic sites or a short taxi (4-6 EUR) ride to everywhere in the center of town and around the Acropolis. I highly recommend Carole and Basil’s place and would love to stay again on our next trip to Athens.

Awesome location, property, and assistance
NOTHING bad to say. The location was great - a short 15 minute walk to the Olympic Stadium and a little further to the Acropolis. If that’s too much, cabs are abundant just outside the front door…. As is groceries, bakeries, restaurants, (and oddly a LOT of barbers). The property itself is top notch. Amenities all great. Beds great. A/C BEYOND great (this is a pet peeve for me). Finally, our hosts couldn’t be more wonderful. If you stay here, you absolutely MUST take them up on their offers to plan excursions. They are first rate. Thank you thank you thank you. We will recommending this location to our friends.

Couldn't have asked for more!
What an amazing place: million dollar views, plenty of room for a big family (seven of us), extremely well-equipped, perfect location (from the sunset view of the Acropolis to the taxi stand a block up), in a part of the city that has everything but isn't inundated with tourists, and with extremely friendly and responsive hosts, who would reply to WhatsApp messages for advice and assistance almost instantaneously. Highly recommended!

My family and I rented this apartment for 4 days, our first visit in Athens. We absolutely loved it. The place is spotless and walking distance to everything. The bonus was Basil who was extremely helpful, going above and beyond to make sure that we have a great stay. Since we were a big group, Carole and Basil handled everything from airport transfers to city tour (with an excellent guide) and even restaurants reservations and recommendations. Thank you both so much. We loved staying at your place.

Wonderful apartments in Athens!
Not only are the apartments perfectly up to date, with all amenities, the rooftop area is amazing, bedrooms and kitchen is excellent. What really makes the trip is the wonderful attention from Real Greece, Carole and Basil. They helped us with anything and everything from restaurants to tours, to any question about where to go. I give this more than 5 stars!

Phenomenal apartment in the heart of Athens
14 of us had a great time staying at this apartment in the heart of Athens. The hosts happen to stay in their other place next door, so they were super helpful. The place is on the 6th floor and is a split level, so some of the bedrooms are on the 7th. There is a rooftop, private deck on the 7th, and a balcony on 6. The rooftop deck has direct line of sight to the Acropolis and is absolutely beautiful in the evening. The bathrooms are spotless and the kitchen is great. Every room has a great A/C unit and you will be very comfortable. There is a super small elevator that works great that will take you and your luggage up and down. The whole place works with key codes (keyless entry), so you don't need to worry about misplacing the keys. The neighborhood is safe, so if you are coming back late from an activity, you don't need to worry. There is NO parking anywhere close, so make sure you are transiting by taxi or Uber or public transit. There is no metro nearby, but the bus system is close and pretty easy to learn (if you have google maps) and Uber is pretty cheap. We went all the way to the port for 15 euros... and everything in town is 7-10 it seems. Many tourist hotels and apartments are in the Plaka or Monasteriki, which this is not. But if you stay over there, be prepared to not be able to sleep until 2am with the noise. Wholeheartedly recommend this place if its the right size for your group!

Response:Thanks for sharing your experience staying in our place, Chuck. We loved being about to greet you in person and were very happy we were also able to help by arranging your transfers back and forth from your cruise ship port. Hope you have taken home many happy memories from your wonderful travels in Greece!

A must book for any large family / multiple family trip to Athens! Carole's apartment is located just outside of the Athens city center in a safe, local orientated area that offers anything and everything store wise within a 5 minute walk. It was a 25 to 35 minute walk to all the archeological sites in Athens, a great staging point for exploring. With four bedrooms and four bathrooms, you can't beat the size! The wrap around porch on the first level, and rooftop patio on the second were great to view the city and Acropolis, along with the New Year's Eve fireworks! It is important to understand that the two bedrooms on the second level are connected and you must walk through one to reach the other. The rooftop patio is also accessed through these two bedrooms. It did not significantly impact my trip, but depending on your party it might be important to note. One thing I can't speak highly enough is Carole's consistent and clear communication, both before and during my stay. She provided a wealth of information prior to my arrival and worked diligently to ensure I was aware of the ever-changing COVID measures. During my stay she was responsive to any questions or issues, hands down the best host I have had during all my Airbnb stays! Overall, what you get with this apartment is nearly impossible to beat. Great space, location, and host, book now and explore the beauty and shear awesomeness of Athens!

It has been 17 years since we began opening our first vacation home to strangers from across the globe. Over these 17 years, we have made many new friends, and have enjoyed sharing our Athena, helping our guests plan their holidays and mapping out walks off the beaten path. Our guests come from all over the world; they come as families, in couples, as groups of friends traveling together, as coworkers on assignment
