Jacob and Kostas were great, helped us check in personally and arranged travel from and to the airport. The flat was as described and the view of the Acropolis was so breathtaking it almost didn’t look real. One person described it as looking like a painting. The place was clean, the location was in walking distance to Plaka and all of the hot spots. The flat had plenty of room for 4 people and we couldn’t be happier about our stay. Highly recommend staying here!

Great stay! Lift was broken but owner refunded a portion of our stay to make the 7floor walk up a bit more bearable. Great location!

We stayed two nights at the Luminous apartment and had a fantastic time!
The location of the apartment is great. The apartment has an AMAZING view of the Acropolis from the living room, balcony, and the master bedroom. It was truly an experience to go to sleep looking at that view each night!
Due to that location, we were able to walk to all of the major tourist attractions (Acropolis, Hadrian's Arch, the Roman Agora, Areopagus Hill) as well as lots of restaurants, a grocery store, etc.
Communication was fantastic from the moment that I booked the apartment until the moment that we left the apartment.
It had everything that we needed, (cookware, glasses, toiletry items, a dishwasher and a washing machine as well as a clothesrack and clothespins).
What really made it stand out though was the level of service. They booked us a taxi to meet us at the airport and another to take us back at 4:15 am on the day of our departure. Unfortunately, as we were racing out the door the morning of our departure, I accidentally left my purse on the dresser with our passports and all money in it. Makis, the taxi driver, and Costas saved our trip today!
Unfortunately, that meant that we were locked out (since we had already left the apartment keys on the table). We had no idea what we would do!
Makis came to the rescue!! He called Costas, the manager, at 4:15 in the morning, took us to the office where Costas gave him the key, took us back to the apartment so I could get my purse!

If you are looking for an incredible view of the Parthenon, this is it. Doors to balcony open fully, as does the kitchen window. The result is not only an unparalleled view of the Parthenon (and the ocean to a lesser degree), but an incredible cooling breeze. Lia was wonderful to work with from initial booking through the completion of our stay. This is a perfect location to walk to almost everything in central Athens.

We stayed at this property for 3 nights leading up to an Aegean cruise. Our plan was to immerse ourselves in Athens, and this apartment was perfectly located for everything we wanted to do. From here we were able to visit museums, all key historical sites and explore many charming Athens neighborhoods, restaurants and shops - all within walking distance.
The apartment and the view of the acropolis were stunning: the kitchen is well-appointment and living and dining areas are comfortable. You can't beat the balcony and the view. The master bedroom ensuite has limited privacy within the suite, but with the extra half-bath you can easily navigate if that makes you uncomfortable. The second bedroom has a lovely view of the acropolis. We didn't need the 3rd (small) bedroom for sleeping but it came in handy for keeping our our large suitcases out of the way.
Communication with the property managers was seamless and they arranged our transfers from the airport to the property and from the property to Piraeus Harbor for our cruise departure. All transfers were 100% smooth.
We highly recommend this property!

The entire stay was fantastic from communication with the host, to the cleanliness of the apartment and the view was spectacular. Highly highly recommend.

Our stay at this property was AMAZING. In all my prior stays, never met such wonderful and gracious hosts, from helping with bags, to personally greeting us at the property late at night, this place and the host is OVER THE TOP! Wondaful property- and yes that view...its for real! HIGHLY recommend this property. We fit 5 adults very comfortably. Great visit in Athens.
4.8
We truly enjoyed staying here. The view is fabulous. There were five of us. We were close to some wonderful restaurants and only a block or two away from a hop on hop off bus stop. You will be required to walk up at least one flight of stairs even if you use the elevator as the elevator stops at 6 and this place is on the 7th floor. The owner was very responsive. We used Wolt for food and grocery delivery and we enjoyed the Yard restaurant twice during our stay.

Great location, right where you want to be to see all the sites and right in the shopping area with restaurants. I would stay there again.

The property was perfect for visiting Athens. We have recommended it to friends already. Stunning views and an ideal location to walk everywhere.

Place was great.
4.8
The view was amazing and the location is not far from tourist locations... this apartment is better suited for a group of young adults rather than a family.
The sofa bed room is in an enclosed porched and very uncomfortable. The furnishings are run down to the point were they feel gross and the kitchen table looks like crumbs on it but its the missing pieces of vaneer of the top.
Theses are all minor things and you can stay here ŵithout problems. It just didnt look like the older photos on the site. Just not what we eere expecting.
The communication was superb and the drive to and from the airport was well worth the money as the apartment is in the center of the city.
4.8
This location was a perfect landing for walking to almost everything! The shops, restaurants, the museums, everything was close by! The apartment was clean and comfortable and while it was on the top floor, the elevator helped with luggage but we mostly took the stairs. We appreciated both the help in arranging a ride to and from the airport and the welcome we got when we arrived, complete with a quick walking tour of getting around the neighborhood. We always felt safe and it was easy to navigate. Lia's communication was prompt and always polite! Book early to get this incredible place with a remarkable view!
4.8
What an amazing apartment. Very spacious for our party of four. Easy to get around. Walking distance to the acropolis and great restaurants. Our hosts were helpful and responsive.
The patio and the view were absolutely spectacular. A gorgeous view of the sunset and the Parthenon at night.
I would 100% recommend!
4.8
The location of the apartment is terrific. Walked to Acropolis entrance, Acropolis Museum and many restaurants. Close to grocery shopping and metro. The view of the Acropolis and Parthenon, especially from outside balcony area, is fabulous. Management team very responsive to questions and concerns. We had a great stay in Athens!

Loved our visit to Athens! Great location for exploring the best sites and neighborhoods!

It doesn’t get much better than this! Beautiful apartment. Clean, spacious and modern.
The view and patio are absolutely stunning.
Perfect location. 5 minute walk to our meeting point for the acropolis of Athens tour. Lots of shops, restaurants, coffee and bakeries close by.
While not an issue for us, the hike up 7 flights could be difficult for those who have trouble with stairs. A small elevator is available for six flights.
They even helped arrange a car service from the airport for us. Well managed property, nice responsive people to deal with.
4.8
The place is beautiful. We have no complaints. The entrance to the building has garbage left everyday by the door. The lighting in the stairwell should be improved for safety. Also the washing machine should be kept up a bit more. Besides these things the place is great for a family to enjoy Athens. Thank you

Nice clean penthouse with a great outdoor deck and killer view of the very close by Parthenon (not just the walls of the acropolis hill itself). Short walks to Acropolis (3 min) and shopping in Plaka and Monistiraki Square (10-15 min). 2 min walk to Temple of Zeus and 10-12 min walk to get to Syntagmae Square (changing of guard). This location allows you to skip renting a car in Athens. Taxis are easy (if needed) on the busy road the property is on. The only shortcoming is that the building elevator is very old and is slightly bigger than than a phone booth, and has a 330LB limit which I wouldn't advise exceeding. This might mean several trips for a family especially with luggage. The elevator, like the 7 flights of stairs that are your other option to get to the penthouse, is not air-conditioned. The penthouse itself has adequate air conditioning which was appreciated during our stay where daily highs were around 105-110. The owner was very responsive and helpful setting up an airport transfer for us. Check in was seamless.
4.8
My wife and I and our two kids stayed for three nights. From prior to check in, I could not have felt more welcome. Lia and Costas provided a ton of helpful information, arranged out transfers, and were there to greet us when we arrived in order to explain how everything works in the apartment, where some of the sights were, and where to pick up groceries.
The place was super clean, all the necessities (including fresh ground coffee), and the design is attractive.
Absolutely nothing negative to say - it was a 10/10 overall.
4.8
Highly recommend! Accommodations are excellent. Location is perfect. Fantastic hosts who were very responsive. The balcony view cannot be overstated, it is the best! Thank you!

Everything very good from pick up ùt airport to drop off at ferry!

The view is second to none. The apartment has everything you need. The location is perfect. Yannis took the time to show us the local area and great restaurants. I highly recommend staying here. You won’t be disappointed! And we found the wine glasses 😉😁
4.8
This is it folks. Great location and the only thing bad I have to say is that the view is so spectacular all night and all day that we found ourselves sitting on the balcony just reveling in the acropolis view. Keeping us from exploring the city more. Lol.
This was our last two night stay at the end of a long strenuous two week tour through Italy, Turkey and Greece. The flat is comfy and large enough for two couples + one
Wine glasses would be a nice addition ss we could not find any in the otherwise well appointed kitchen. Had to drink wine out of coffee mugs.
Cafe and mini mart very close.
There is a lift to the 6th floor. Then one flight up to the apartment. The lift has a strict 150 kilo weight limit.
We will definitely book this again when we return to this lovely city.

Great location and views
4.8
The apartment is on the top floor of the building with an awesome view of the Acropolis. The elevator only goes up to the 6th floor and the apartment is on the 7th floor, not fun when you have lots of luggage. The apartment is clean and spacious for 5 people. The bathroom needs outlet to plug hairdryer, and better lighting. The two bedrooms in front are a little noisy at night because it faces the main street. Location is very good, nearby restaurants, gift shops, and attractions. Check-in and check-out was super easy. We really enjoyed out stay.
4.8
The location is very good and close to many restaurants and must see sites in Athens. The entrance into the condo is not great. Much graffiti around and next to an abandoned building. The furniture is very low and worn and could be replaced with higher chairs and couch. for comfort. The kitchen has everything you need for a short stay. The host was very attentive to us and brought us things pretty quick.

Outstanding Acropolis view - well equipped Apartment - escalator - a little noisy as located directly at a main road.

This was a great, large apartment with a fantastic view of the Acropolis.

Thank you!

We first walk into the place seeing the acropolis is amazing. Very comfortable place, clean easy accords to everything we need. If I come back to Athens this is the place I would like to stay.
4.8
We truly had the best view imaginable of the Acropolis. It was beautiful at sunrise and lit up all night. Close walking to everything. The owner had the cleaning staff let us in early to drop off our luggage and they explained how things worked in the apartment. It was nice to have coffee in the room. Close to a local market to get provisions. We had a beautiful stay there.
4.8
We loved the fabulous view and open air viewing. The location was walkable to the Plaka, Acropolis and fun restaurants.
4.8
Two couples stayed at this property and we all agreed it is one of the best VRBO we have stayed at. The view of the Acropolis was incredible. Any time someone went into the front room, day or night the Acropolis view is there. The property is mall, but perfect for 4-5 people. The patio door opens up 12' + and the whole patio can be accessed and used for dinner or whatever. Several times we brought dinner to the patio area and enjoyed the outrageously beautiful view of the Acropolis and Plaka district. The kitchen is well laid out and perfect for light put together meals. Overall I highly recommend this property for someone staying for the Acropolis event/experience.
4.8
This apartment was perfectly located, just a short walk from everything you want to visit. The view of the Acropolis was breath taking and never got old. Our stay was perfect!

Beautiful property in perfect location! Pictures are exactly what it looks like. Lia communicated promptly and was very helpful. I highly recommend staying here! Beautiful view of the acropolis!

Great affordable flat. Bathrooms are quite tight on space and furnishings need updating but otherwise great. Kitchen is ample and well appointed.

This was my second visit to Athens and my daughters first. The owners were very good with regards to communication and even arranged for a private car service (cab) from the airport. The location was amazing on the edge of Plaka. The Acropolis and Museum was 5 minutes away and there was an abundance of excellent restaurants within 5-10 minutes. You could be at the Temple of Zeus and National gardens within 5 minutes walk and Syntagma Square was about 11-15 minutes walk. The very excellent t Museum of Contemporary Art was 8-10 minutes away. All in all the perfect central location. The checkin process was seamless. The apartment was very clean and modern. The AC worked well despite being the hottest 4 days this year (101-103). All necessary amenities were there. You are on the 7th floor and there is an elevator that takes you to the 6th floor. And the icing on the cake - the view from the balcony of the Acropolis right in front of you. I highly recommend! And Kostas was very helpful with all our needs!
