Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Kalyvia Thorikou

Amazing stay, the listing was just like the pictures. The place was very clean and updated. Had lots of amenities, including a washer. Loved the rooftop so much! The neighborhood was also very walkable, and the view of the Acropolis was unbeatable. At first, we couldn't find the correct door and Vassilios came out to help us. He was a great host and let us check in early because our flight had landed a few hours before check-in. Would 100% recommend this place.

Marina is the perfect host, very helpful, good recommendations for finding a place to eat, a supermarket and public transport. Always reacted quickly, very friendly and supportive. The place is perfect for one person, clean, air condition working, huge balcony with nice view over the city, very quiet on a Sunday morning ;-), places to visit close by, e.g. 10 min walking distance to Athen Archaeological Museum. I can recommend this place and especially the host, definitely will come back next time I'm in Athens!

Great stay, would recommend to others. I dropped a star on check in only because a key hand-off was required, versus a key code; I think we waited five minutes or so for the person to show up with the keys so not a huge deal. Location is great - very central to key sights and in a great neighborhood for food and shopping. Dropped one star on location only because the block that the house is on looks a little tired, but it did not adversely affect our stay; really a judgement of aesthetics. Place has THREE air conditioners and they all worked great - very important in hot Athens. WiFi worked great. Place was quiet so no problems sleeping or sleeping in late. Apartment very comfortable, with couch seating, chairs, table, etc. Mattress was a bit firm for our liking, but I experience that everywhere in Europe as compared to my home in USA. Nice big deck for sitting outside; you won't see the acropolis while sitting at the table but if you walk to end of deck you get a great view.

This place is an absolute gem. I stayed for nearly a month with my family. The place is actually very spacious. Much more so than most other Airbnb’s I have stayed at in Europe. The living and dining room area is quite large. And the balconies are extremely spacious. It was really nice to have the second bathroom. Only one has a shower, but having the second toilet was great if someone was in the shower - again not typical of most European Airbnb’s. While the unit is great in itself, the location is beyond perfect. Every Thursday there is a huge market literally across the street. Great people watching from the front patio. 5 min walk to the water, 3 min walk to the tram. And every possible restaurant, shop, cafe you can imagine within a few minutes from your front door. We loved a little hidden coffee shop / cafe called Lalinda. The views are spectacular. There is a beautiful church between the unit and the water that makes for great photos against the sunset. Amazing stay!

We had a wonderful time in Athens at Matias place. The apartment is small yet has everything you need for a few days in Athens. The terrace is stunning and we especially liked the neighborhood, which is not frequented by many tourists and allowed us to dive in with the locals. Public transport is however close and takes you super fast to the city center. The host welcomed us personally (which we loved a lot, since we are used to anonymous check ins already) and left us with many great recommendations. And if you are worried you might fall out of the loft bed, don’t be! We slept super well 😍

This apartment and location were wonderful. The apartment was well described and the location was ideally close to attractions, metro, wonderful restaurants and shopping. The street is quiet and great for relaxing after a busy day of fun. The balcony was beautiful and so fun to sit outside. The hosts were super kind and helpful. We arrived ahead of check-in and they were so accommodating. They met us at the apartment and were unbelievably kind in that they picked up some fresh baked pastries and made us coffee. They responded quickly to our questions and were especially helpful in recommendations and even helped us with some of our needed transportation arrangements. We would return again and again to stay in this location without hesitation. I can recommend these hosts and location without any reservation.

Apartment was very spacious with 3 full bathrooms. We were very comfortable, he left us with some kitchen basics and snacks. It was also very close to the major neighborhoods with so many restaurants and bars. 20 minute walk to Acropolis. Beware the steps to the apartment.

Very nice home. Thelma was always responsive and we had a wonderful time in Athens and her place was convenient for shops and food and we had taxis for our others locations. Close to the markets as well!

Amazing stay, had lots of fun and great area!

The villa was absolutely beautiful and my family and I had an incredible time staying over. We especially enjoyed how clean and nice the pool provided was. We highly recommend this location to anyone looking to stay in Greece.

Giannis was the best host! Friendly, communicative and helpful, he provided lots of information and tips about the area and Athens. His love for the city and his home was really apparent. The house is quiet, clean and full of art and nice touches, he is obviously creative and it was refreshing to stay in a place with real character! The best thing was the view from the terraces, with the acropolis and city laid before you. Watching the sunset and the lights come on at night was a highlight of our trip! We loved the village feel of the location, walkable to the centre or an inexpensive taxi ride home up the hill. Thank you Giannis, you’re great :)

Great stay. In a house with a beautiful wooded garden with exceptional sea views. Our host is very responsive, with good tips on restaurants and other activities in the area. We had a pleasant time. I recommend it and if I return to this pretty region in Greece I will treasure the address. Thanks Mike and Isabella

Everything was clean and comfortable, thank you!

Great host excellent communication very clean apartment. Just next door to lovely coffee shop and close to great restaurants.

We had a fantastic stay at Marios’ place. He was a great host—always responsive and helpful both before our arrival and throughout our stay. He was also incredibly flexible, kindly allowing us an early check-in and late checkout, which made our trip even more relaxing. The house itself was spacious, peaceful, and had everything we needed. Super comfortable and perfect for unwinding. It’s a remote location, which is exactly what we were looking for—no nearby restaurants or supermarkets, but that was by choice. Athens was just about an hour’s drive away, which made for a perfect day trip. We didn’t end up going to the nearby beaches, but the pool and direct ocean access were amazing—refreshing and private. Quiet nights, beautiful surroundings… exactly what we hoped for. Only small suggestion would be to improve the internet speed a bit—but other than that, it was perfect. Highly recommended!

My 2nd time in the Studio, I´m sure it won´t be the last :)

Had a lovely time in Athens with my Wife and our baby. We felt very comfortable in Fotis’ air bnb. It was exactly what we needed! It was very clean. Also, very good communication between Fotis and us. He recommended us some great restaurants and things to see/do. Only a 10/15 min walk from all the main attractions in Athens. Would 100% recommend come and stay again in the future!

We loved the apartment, very well located and connected to different means of transportation, super spacious and impeccable, and Erik was super friendly and greeted us earlier than expected and gave us all the necessary information for our days in Athens, very attentive. Super recommended!

The location is very convenient — just a short walk to metro and bus stops, making it easy to reach both the city center and the airport. The room was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend this place to others!

Antigoni was lovely, very kind, polite and responsive. The place was great, the view is breathtaking!

Completely satisfied

Doros was a great host. He provided detailed information. Apt. is at a great location. We will rent this Apt whenever we visit Athens.

Mia's Atelier is a lovely gem of a place to stay in Athens. The view of the Acropolis from the lovely terrace area is superb - couldn't be better. Having the very large terrace is great. The apartment is cozy, a lovely top floor artist studio type of place - large bedroom, small eat in kitchen, good ariconditioning and lovely view. Great place in Athens! Aris and Dimitra were excellent and very responsive hosts. Definitely would stay again. Thank you!

Leah's apartment was perfect. Just a 3 to 4 minute walk to the metro and 5 to 6 stops to downtown Athens. It was exactly as described and pictures were accurate. She was quick to respond to all of my messages. I didn't have any Euros on me yet and she drove me to a bank to use the ATM. She then drove me around the neighborhood and showed me her favorite places to eat and get coffee. We ate at a few or ordered in. There is also a cute bakery near the metro. The house does smell like cigarettes but that didn't bother us. If you have asthma this might affect your stay. This is Leah's personal home, which I liked due to her making extra money and not supporting a company who buys up properties and forces locals out of home ownership. If we ever make it back to Athens we would 100% stay here again. Thanks again Leah for a great stay!
