Luxury Penthouse with Acropolis View and Private Apt

This is a very modern and comfortable apartment. The Acropolis view and the balcony are wonderful, the jacuzzi is clean and refreshing, and the place was perfectly clean and up to date. The communication was also instant- we would text with any questions and got immediate responses every time.There is a corner market right down the street for essentials, and a strip of good cafes and restaurants just a couple blocks away. It was also an easy 10-minute taxi ride to all the Athens sights. As noted in other reviews, there was slight noise from nearby clubs on some of the nights we were there. It didn’t bother my wife or child at all, and I just used earplugs and was completely fine.But I can’t say enough positive things about the owner’s communication and also the sophistication of the apartment. Passcode lock, remote control curtains, electric fireplace, smart TV, air conditioning that can be adjusted in each room for different tastes. This is a great place.

The apartment was luxurious and roomy. And everything you needed was stocked - even had bathrobes, which was great to use when going to the jacuzzi - one of the reasons I booked this place. I liked how I was in regular contact with hosts before arrival, upon arrival and during our stay and they responded quickly each time. We enjoyed being in a more residential neighborhood as you get a unique experience with local coffee/pastry shops and restaurants. Jeff and Katerina of Iris Athens Management provided a lot of information in its guest guide and they recommended to us a local restaurant (Cartone) that was one of the best casual restaurants we've ever ate at. There was a full supermarket just 6 minutes walk. A subway station is a mere 2 minute walk and very convenient as only 1 stop to Monastiraki and 2 stops to Syntagma Square and it is fun to take the subway. We are from Toronto and came for school March break - turned out to be a great time as tourist levels are very low (no jostling at Acropolis) and weather is very comfortable (just a T-shirt during the day).

Read the description carefully: This place is amazing and the hosts are truly wonderful people, but the noise really is a major problem on weekends. First the great: The apartment is spacious and clean, the views on Acropolis breathtaking, the balcony and Jacuzzi a joy, the beds comfortable, the location central, and everything feels luxurious. The hosts are some of the kindest and most caring people you'll ever deal with. However, from Friday through Monday morning it's like living in the middle of a club: Despite all the great lengths the hosts went through to reduce the noise, there will be very loud music until 6am on Saturday and until about 4am on Friday and Sunday nights. Unless you can use noise-canceling earphones listening to soothing sounds all through the night, it may be very difficult to get any sleep at all. This is especially a problem for children. I've lived in party districts in Berlin, this is far beyond what I expected. Just be aware of that and know what to expect. You might be excited by all this or absolutely okay with it, and also on weeknights and during the days it's really quiet inside the apartment. Other than this, as noted, it's a fantastic place, and due to the extreme kindness and helpfulness of the hosts, I've decided to give 5 stars nevertheless.

We had an awesome time at Gazi Penthouse! The property is beautiful, very clean, and very well appointed. We enjoyed using the jacuzzi on the wrap-around balcony with the amazing views of the Acropolis. The penthouse is in a great location - we were able to walk to several restaurants and a grocery store. The hosts, Jeff and Katerina were so thoughtful and easy to work with. They helped us arrange transportation and gave us great recommendations. The entire process of booking / checking-in/out was very easy and went smoothly. We highly recommend this amazing property!

The fabulous apartment was exactly as the pictures indicated. The view of the Acropolis was stunning. The hot tub was an added bonus after a long day of exploring Athens. Central location enabled us to walk or train to where we wanted to go. Jeff and Katrina were amazing hosts. Always answered any questions we had within minutes. I would not hesitate to stay here next time I am in Athens or recommend to others.

We had a wonderful stay. The property is just as described. We walked to the Parthenon and enjoyed the great local food. We’re a family of 5 and the home was well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The hot tub overlooking the Parthenon each evening was a highlight. The hosts were excellent communicators and gave several valuable recommendations. Highly recommend!

Great view of Parthenon while sitting in the balcony hot tub. Owners communication was great.

You will not be disappointed. It’s is exactly as promised, the view is amazing. The hot tub is perfect after a long day is sight seeing. It was a fabulous stay.

Excellent stay in lovely apartment. Hosts are attentive and regularly in contact. Apartment is spotlessly clean with great amenities. Balcony and hot tub very good and view of Acropolis a delight. Located perfect to reach all sites of interest and also close to many good bars and restaurants. Loved our stay here and would recommend to all.

Beautiful condo with jacuzzi; nicely decorated with comfortable beds. A little loud on Fridays and Saturdays though with the two bars across the street during the night.

Absolutely Wonderful Stay!The penthouse was beautiful, spotless, and incredibly comfortable, with a stunning view of the Acropolis. There were plenty of great food and drink options within walking distance, and the city center was just a short taxi ride away—very convenient.Jeff was fantastic to ensure everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out through clear and prompt communication. The additional support provided through their weblink was excellent, with detailed information about the penthouse and plenty of great recommendations on things to see and do in the area.Highly recommended!

The unit is clean, well cared for and well appointed. The hosts are the best in communicating not only about their unit, but about staying in Athens in general.

First I’ll tell you all the good things about this VRBO—there are a lot of them!The owner was GREAT and super easy to contact. They stayed in touch during our stay and were available to help with anything. The apartment is beautifully done with superior materials and craftsmanship. And it’s so clean. It’s literally spotless. The bathrooms were clean. The kitchen was tidy. The linens were fresh. In terms of cleanliness, it was perfect. The neighborhood is what I would call “transitional” but centrally located. We walked to the Acropolis, Temple of Zeus, and flea market with no troubles. It’s super convenient to the Metro as well. For us the only issue was noise. At about midnight every night a few nearby nightclubs get crazy loud until the early morning. Other reviews mentioned a little night club noise on the weekends. For us it was every single night for 4 nights straight. Sunday night was gloriously quiet.Without the noise at night this VRBO would be perfect for us. But we are folks who need quiet to get high quality rest. If you are a night owl, going to be dancing at the clubs until the early morning, or are a heavier sleeper stop scrolling and make a reservation. But if you are a light sleeper you’ll want to look for a quieter area. Despite our difficulty sleeping we are still giving this VRBO 5 stars because it’s literally perfect otherwise. It’s not the owners fault about the neighborhood, we just wanted to be transparent about the noise.

We had a great stay in Jeff and Katerina's apartment. It is in a fantastic location - we were able to walk to everything we wanted to go to in the city, and to nearby cool local restaurants and bars. The place itself is sparkling clean, and we appreciated the small touches like coffee being provided. The Acropolis is visible from the living room and balcony, which makes the place very special. Jeff and Katerina had excellent communication before and during the stay, which was greatly appreciated. Check in was a breeze. The only negative is we stayed over the weekend when the clubs in the neighborhood play very loud music until 5AM. Jeff and Katerina provided ear plugs, but this still did little to keep the noise down. Knowing that, we still would have stayed given the location, but it may be a challenge for those that are light sleepers.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this vacation rental in Athens! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and comfortable. The hosts were incredibly friendly, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed—including great local tips for restaurants, transportation, and hidden gems around the city.The apartment itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described. We especially loved the balcony with its stunning view of the Acropolis—perfect for enjoying morning coffee or evening wine. The location couldn’t be better: just a short walk to the metro, historic sites, numerous restaurants and coffee shops, yet tucked away in a quiet and safe neighborhood. If you are sensitive to noise, consider visiting in the shoulder or off season. Noise from local rooftop bars and clubs were a non-issue during our stay and we found the neighborhood to be quite quiet. Wi-Fi was fast, the bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equipped for cooking light meals. Everything worked perfectly, and it truly felt like a home away from home.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Athens!

First time to Athens and came with another couple. Close to Metro station, lots of fun bars/restaurants/nightlife. Penthouse was super clean and comfortable. Communication with host was amazing and ultra responsive. Always looked forward to coming back to the place after long days of being a tourist :). We all agreed that we would stay here again in the future.

Steps from the Metro. Easy journey on the Metro from the airport - single line, no changes. Penthouse is close to restaurants. Walking distance to Ermou street and central Athens. The apartment was clean and modern. The decor is to the highest standards. The Acropolis is visible from the main sitting room and the master bedroom. Wonderful to wake up to. I would stay at the penthouse again!

Excellent view of the Acropolis from every room! Communication and check-in was excellent. Walking distance to many attractions. And definitely go to some of the restaurants recommended by the hosts!

Absolutely the best view right when you walk in. Super helpful and kind property owners. Great security, open floor plan, and location. Easy to get to the Metro, sites are all with in walking distance. Overall loved this experience. ❤️

Went to Athens on a mother daughter trip and honestly could NOT have had a better experience! Room was gorgeous, clean and 100% as advertised. Getting in and out was a breeze with the app. Agree with the other reviewers that the clubs and music are there every night, but it really didn’t bother us much. Would be the only thing however if you needed quiet to sleep as the music does go on until 3am (and we were there during the weekdays).However, for us, everything else made up for it in spades. ESPECIALLY how above and beyond Jeff and Katerina were accessible before, during and after our stay! Any question we had- about tours, restaurants, getting around- they were right there ready to help.This was my first trip to Athens but it absolutely will NOT be my last and I would 100% be going back to this property!!

This place was wonderful!! Hosts were very responsive! Lots of restaurants and bars nearby! Gorgeous view from literally every window!! We honestly fell in love with the coffee shop next door!! Everyone was very welcoming!

I came to Athens with my two teenaged children to see the sites. Iris Penthouse is located close to everything. The Metro stop was a 3 min walk away and all the sites were 2 stops at most. The condo is amazing and has great views. Be prepared for noise on weekend nights but otherwise amazing. Jeff was an amazing host - he kept in touch and even helped us get a taxi from the airport. We would 100% stay here again. Top notch.

Jeff & Katrina are super hosts. They really go out of their way to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. They even wanted to drive an hour out of their way to change one AAA battery. I would highly recommend this place.

Excellent view of the Acropolis from every room! Communication and check-in was excellent. Walking distance to many attractions. And definitely go to some of the restaurants recommended by the hosts!

Das Penthouse ist genau wie auf den Bildern, mit richtig gutem Ausblick auf die Akropolis. Die Vermieter Jeff und Katerina sind super freundlich und haben sich mehrfach erkundigt, ob alles in Ordnung ist und haben im Vorfeld auf das laute Nachtleben am Wochenende hingewiesen. Super Lage mit 2 Gehminuten bis zur metro und von da nur eine Haltestelle zum Monastiraki Platz. Highlight ist natürlich der Jacuzzi, den man wunderbar abends nach einem langen Tag nutzen kann, um die Aussicht auf die beleuchtete Akropolis bei Nacht zu genießen. Alles in allem eine absolut empfehlenswerte Unterkunft mit Top Aussicht, Top Sauberkeit, Top Lage und super netten Vermietern. Gerne wieder

The 4th floor penthouse in the Gazi neighborhood was a great find for our group. It is stylish, clean and relaxing. The view of the Acropolis at night was amazing. Jeff was great with all the details and communicating during our entire stay and also helped us with transport to and from the airport. The nightlife around the area is vibrant and there were many restaurants within walking distance. The city center is a nice 1.5 mile walk. Don’t hesitate to book here.
