Christina is an amazing host; there is not a single thing I can think off that would be an improvement over what she does. The apartment is ideally located, immaculate, and stocked with everything you need (and lots of extra treats, wine, coffee, etc.).

We loved it here and would def stay again!!!

We had a wonderful time staying at Christina and Natalie’s beautiful apartment in the heart of Athens.
Christina arranged transportation from the airport and was there to greet us in person when we arrived.
The apartment is simply stunning. Spacious, beautifully decorated with AC. Christina generously stocked the place with coffee, snacks, wine and other goodies.
We felt so spoiled! All the major spots of Athens within easy walking distance.Highly recommend!

This place is pure perfection! Christina’s attention to detail is impressive. She even left fresh fruit, wine and chocolates for our arrival. The place was spotless when we arrived, had plenty of room for our family of two adults and three teenagers, and is in an excellent location in Plaka. It’s about an eight minute walk to the Acropolis and the beautiful National Gardens are only about a three minute walk. Book it if you can!
5.0
We had everything we needed and the location was perfect! The apartment has a fully equiped kitchen, all bedrooms have air conditioning and Christina was most gracious with the hospitality. Last but not least, there is a great gelato place right downstairs and plenty of amazing restaurant choices all around.

I booked this property for myself and friends to celebrate my 60th birthday.
We were met by the host who had made such an effort. There were flowers, happy birthday lights, a card and wine, wow.
Also the apartment is even better than the photos!
It is fully stocked with teas, coffees, on-tap filtered water, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, makeup wipes, hair dryers, iron...the list goes on.
The bathrooms are super clean, the beds are extremely comfortable, rooms are very spacious.
Everything is walkable.
We had the best time ever.
(if you want a special meal experience please book Thea restaurant at The Central Hotel, views to die for and beautiful food.
Will definitely stay here again if we return to Athens.

Our stay in this Athens property was perfect for our needs. The owner provided unexpected amenities such as food, extra household supplies, as well as meeting us at the property and thoroughly explaining how devices work, where we could find needed items, and ensuring bedding was set up to meet our needs. We were quite comfortable during our stay and can highly recommend this property.

Fabulous apartment within walking distance of everything. Christine was so responsive and helpful before and during our trip. We highly recommend this property! The perfect spot for your stay in Athens.
5.0
The property is located in the best possible spot in Plaka and it is walking distance to groceries (Bazaar), restaurants, parks, and attractions. The apartment itself is spacious with three large rooms, large showers, and 2 family rooms, and balconies. Christina is extremely gracious and thoughtful. She thought of every little thing that one might need from all small appliances in the kitchen to spare electric adapters for each room. She had stocked the fridge with amenities like bread, filtered water, butter, honey, jam - not to mention the basket full of fresh fruit, and wine and chocolate. She took the time to show us how everything worked because things don't work the same in every country. While her apartment is amazing, her care and hospitality made the experience 10x better. When we visit Athens next, we will make sure we travel on dates when her property is available. Thank you, Christina, for making our visit to Greece fun and memorable.

I recently stayed here with family and a friend. Our stay was absolutely perfect! The location is ideal since it’s in the historic streets of Plaka, but it’s on a less busy road so it’s quiet at night. The accommodations were incredible - lots of space, comfortable, excellent appliances and very well furnished. We loved all of the touches, especially the snacks!! We would recommend this spot to anyone!!

I would give 100 stars on every point!!!! Beautiful apartment right in the heart of Plaka. Walking distance everywhere. Amazing hostess.
5.0
I can't even begin to say enough great things about this property!! first of all, the location is AMAZING!! right in the heart of Plaka-so many restaurants and shopping to choose from. Plus you are close to a lot of places tour companies pick up. The apartment is beautiful-Christina and Natalia left us so many goodies (including items for my daughter's 17th bday!) They were so responsive to any questions we had and helped arrange transportation for us. We have used VRBO for many years and this property is, by far, our favorite!! We can't wait to come back!
5.0
We've been using VRBO for years and this is by far the best place we have ever stayed in. The apartment was in a ideal location, within walking to the Acropolis. Plaka, shiops and restaurants. But, the best part were the owners, Natalia and Christina. They provided information on musuems, places to visit and even helped us with appointments to a hairdresser. They stocked the apartment with a fully loaded welcome basket and coffee, bread, jam, milk, juice and yummy chocolate. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were super comfortable! I can't say enough of how wonderful our stay was!
5.0
This property was the perfect place for a quick family trip to Athens. The amenities were excellent for our family of 5 — all the kids had their own rooms and there was space to relax after our days of exploring the city. Location is unbeatable! So many shops and restaurants close by and within walking distance of the historic city center. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. We would definitely stay here again for a future visit.

This is an holiday rental experience like we’ve never had before. Beautiful property with everything you could ever need and so many extras of food and drinks and snacks. Everything worked well and was so comfortable for our group of 5. So nicely decorated, so handy to everything and such a lovely host who explained everything so well for us and responded immediately when we messaged her with tourist type questions. We were blown away! Highly recommend!!
5.0
This was the perfect base for our first trip to Greece. The location is superb, within walking distance to every site in Athens. The layout and the deco are also superb, just as in the pictures. But what's best is the host. Christina helped us resolve a taxi issue upon our arrival and saved our day. She then walked us through the apartment. This is the best stocked vacation rental ever, not just the pastry items, fruits, the wine, the beverage, it is really everything you will ever need on vacation. this will be our go-to place for Athens! Thank you for everything, Christina!
5.0
Christina and her place was amazing. She was present at the check in and made sure we had everything we needed and understood how to operate everything. She provides tons of snacks, wine, coffee, and breakfast foods - even fresh flowers on the table! The place was very clean and adorable. The beds were comfortable and it was a fantastic location. If we could give it more than 5 stars we would!
5.0
The apartment is absolutely fantastic and loaded with amenities and in the middle of everything. Great location. The support we had from Natalia & Christina was outstanding. Assisted us with transportation from the airport to our cruise and worked with us to store our luggage prior to departure. Could not have asked for a more caring host. Can't wait to go back.

Super clean and abundantly stocked Vrbo. Such a great location, right on the edge of the pedestrian area of Plaka. Easy walk to almost anywhere in the heart of Athens. Very comfortable and plenty of towels and toiletries provided. Lots of personal touches that made it very cozy. The hosts are incredibly friendly, informative and helpful. Christina helped us to schedule a super early morning transfer to the airport. Perfect for a group of 6-8 people.
5.0
This was a fabulous stay in Athens. Christina made sure we had all the information we needed about the apartment and the neighbourhood. She greeted us upon arrival and was a great help. The unit was super functional and was a pleasure to stay in. A few convenience shops at your doorstep and the main walking streets are just steps away. Not much I would change about this place, highly recommend!
5.0
Everything about this VRBO and the experience with Christina is EXCEPTIONAL! The apartment is absolutely stunning, location is perfect and the attention to every detail is superb. The entire experience is designed for the tenants' comfort and enjoyment; nothing is missed. Even better, Christina is the most gracious host/property manager - she is a warm welcoming hug! All communications were quickly responded to, all recommendations were exceptional and you are welcomed with fabulous Greek goodies, wine, coffee - the entire works! I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience - truly exceptional! I HIGHLY recommend and if we return, this is where I want to be.

This property was absolutely gorgeous and exactly as shown in pictures. Our hosts provided us with everything you could think of in the way of breakfast food including a big bowl of fresh fruit. The apartment was wonderful and in a fabulous location. Our hosts were great in communicating with us and helped make our stay in Athens such a wonderful one.
5.0
We couldn't have been happier with the rental. There was 8 of us in the group and we had plenty of space, it never felt cramped. The hosts were amazing. They provided us with breakfast items, snacks, coffee, etc. Plus they arranged for airport transfers to and from the rental, including our day trip to Santorini. We tried one of the restaurant suggestions as well, so good. We would definitely recommend this rental to anyone visiting Athens.
5.0
A beautiful apartment with every amenity you could ask for. The hosts were so welcoming and hospitable providing fruit, snacks, toast, milk, cereal, coffee, hairdryers, a washer/dryer. I could go on and on. The location was central and upmarket, close to restaurants, shops, the Acropolis etc.
I would highly recommended this high end apartment.
5.0
We loved this apartment! We've stayed in many rentals and all agreed this one was among the very best. It is attractive, comfortable, spacious, and spotlessly clean. The location is perfect, only a short walk from all the major sites.
Natalia and Christina go out of their way to make you feel at home. They provided an assortment of foods, coffee and drinks (even a bottle of wine and ouzo). The apartment had everything we needed. Christina showed us in and made sure we knew where everything was and how it worked. They arranged transportation to the airport for us. This is definitely the place you'll want to stay at while in Athens.
5.0
Apartment was situated in an ideal location for shops, bars, restaurants & sightseeing. Apartment has the WOW factor, was very comfortable & has everything you would need. Christina & Natalia were perfect hosts & great at communication. Overall experience was fantastic!
5.0
From the second we booked out stay in Athens, Christina was the best! She was so helpful and communicative in every way. She lined up transportation to and from the airport, assisted with our itinerary, gave great recommendations on where to eat and was so accommodating. We arrived very early in the morning and even though the apartment was not ready for check in she greeted us there, gave us the opportunity to change and drop our bags and welcomed us like we were family.
The apartment was spacious and beautifully decorated, immaculately clean and a perfect location for getting to all the sites. It was well stocked with soaps and amenities and Christina went above and beyond filling the apartment with delicious treats, fruits and specialty items.
It truly was the perfect stay and we would highly recommend! Can’t say enough- Thank you Christina!

The apartment was perfect for our stay! Cristina and Nicola were very helpful and set the apartment up specially for our family.
We appreciate everything they did to make our stay fabulous!
We definitely recommend you stay with them!
5.0
It was the best experience to stay with Natalia and Christina. The hospitality was the best from every thought put into a Vrbo stay for anyone who would like to stay there. Location was great and Christina supplied with nespresso pods, instant coffee, teas, honey, sugar, milk etc all the necessity to have breakfast was there. We stayed there for 3 nights but we did not have to buy anything except the last day we had to get milk and bread. That tells you if you go to Athens, you need to stay with them. They are the best.

You will be hard pressed to find a more gracious and available host of an impeccable apartment in a better location.
It is minutes from the Acropolis, Plaka and Syntagma Square and the subway system.
The neighborhood was safe and filled with restaurants.
The seven of us were so comfortable, we didn't want to leave!
Natalia had some very nice, unexpected touches for us but I'll leave that for you to discover when you stay here!
5.0
This place was perfect for our family of 6, although 8 people would be fine as there are 4 beautiful bedrooms. The hosts are extremely welcoming, informative, and available if needed. They kindly arranged our delivery from the airport. The kitchen is large with all modern appliances and there is a washing machine,too, if needed. Everything was spotless. The kitchen had coffee, tea, snacks and fresh fruit. This is an excellent property with lovely hosts, right next to the Plaka, and a short walk to the Acropolous and Acropoulos Museum, or the Metro and taxis/busses. We would stay here again in a heart beat!
5.0
Our stay was wonderful! The apartment was beautiful and as described online. The location to the Plaka, Monastiraki and the Acropolis is perfect! Easy walking distance to restaurants and shopping, and very safe . The owners, Natalia and Christina were lovely and extremely pleasant to deal with. We have already shared this property with two others that will be traveling to Greece in the near future.

My wife and I treated our young adult daughter and son on a trip to Athens and Naxos. So we wanted the experience to be near perfect in all respects. Christina and her daughter Natalia (hosts) made that possible with their timely and proactive communication from booking through the end of our stay.
The apartment exceptionally well maintained and every room is beautiful. Christina thought of every little detail down to the varieties of coffees, teas, cookies, milk etc. The location is perfect with its proximity to shopping, restaurants and of course the Acropolis!
We absolutely would recommend the apartment and the hosts to anyone planning to visit Athens.
5.0
This was an absolutely phenomenal apartment. It was spacious and light, comfortable for our group of seven, and obviously furnished and decorated with a lot of care. The beds were comfortable, the A/C was strong, we loved the black-out shades, and the location could not be beat. Most impressive was the host: they stocked the house with coffee, toiletries, laundry soap, etc., but also sweets, fresh flowers, wine, cereal, milk… it was wonderful! They checked-in to see if the blankets were too warm, and when I accidentally left some laundry behind, they made special accommodations to meet up so I could retrieve. I would stay again in a heartbeat!
