Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Plaka, Athens

Kleio's hospitality and graciousness as a host was truly the highlight of staying at her property. She clearly went above and beyond our expectations to make us feel welcome and taken care of, especially after a long overseas flight or after a long day of hiking around Athens or nearby cities. She had ample supplies a weary traveler might need or forgotten on hand. We are super grateful for the attention to detail Kleio put into thinking about her guests. The location was ideal for launching off on daily adventures and delightful to come back to after exploring all day and into the night. Simply a perfect location and property beautifully appointed and maintained. Hands down one of the best AirBnB stays I have had. Don't hesitate in selecting this place. Book ASAP.....

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

Katerina’s place was very close to the park area near the acropolis as well as a few cafes slightly out of the crowded part of town. She was very responsive and was even able to let us check in early, which was a huge help. The slight problem with Wi-fi was far outweighed by her customer service. I would certainly stay with her again!

The ceilings, natural light, beautiful craftsmanship of the wood, REAL ART! We have travelled extensively and enjoyed some beautiful Airbnb experiences. Christos space has moved to #1 on our list. My doctor, his parents were born in Greece, advised I should limit our time in Athens to 2 or 3 days. We are so glad we didn’t. Christos created a book, which I was hoping to buy but he gave us, that is BRILLIANT. The book is a pictorial and informational guide to Athens and Greece. Which he told me he could reproduce quite easily. If you stay at his space you will understand my surprise. Everything you need is a few minutes walk away. We came to Greece because of the history and the islands. We fell in love with Greece, the kindness of its people and generosity of spirit. Christos and his place may be the best of it.

Steven was an incredible host and was so patient with us during checkout as we were running late getting back to the house. Truly an incredible stay and would 1000% come back again

We had a wonderful stay! Too short! Absolutely loved the location! Beautifully decorated and cozy inside and out! Loved the outside patio! As others have said, it is a spiral staircase up to bedroom. A fantastic location!! Great restaurants, easy to walk everywhere! Book it!

The host was amazing, responded quickly to all communication, had a request the host fulfilled which very much helped out my family. Place was very nice. Perfect apartment home for 5. Close walk to all attractions. Would definitely recommend.

Magda is a wonderfully responsive host, and her Airbnb is beautiful, has super easy access to the heart of Athens yet is on a quiet street. She's gone to the trouble of creating her own little booklet of recommended sites and restaurants broken down by most of the surrounding neighborhoods. We followed at least one of her recommendations for a special dinner (Dopios), and it was wonderful! Her place is immaculate, her kitchen well-stocked with appliances for cooking as well as coffee, sugar, tea, some jellies and a few cooking spices which simplified things for us, especially in the mornings. Her aesthetic taste is superb, so taking brief breaks from our lengthy city treks each day in the apartment was a soothing respite. Efharestó, Magda, for a wonderful stay. We will recommend your Airbnb to any friends who plan to visit Athens.

A lovely place to stay when you are in Athens! Perhaps a bit further away from the 'tourist centre', but therefore so pleasant. After a day full of impressions it was wonderful to 'come home'. And what was so wonderful: you didn't have to leave the neighbourhood in the evening! In the immediate vicinity there are many nice restaurants, trendy coffee bars on the nicest squares. Lively and in the middle of the daily life of the inhabitants! The apartment is beautiful, quietly located and is equipped with everything you need. The building beautifully renovated. The only thing is that we are still curious about the other 2 apartments! The shop/studio/workshop of Stravoela is around the corner and if you have even a small question, they are ready for you. Top!

We had an amazing time at this air bnb! The views from the terrace are unmatched and our host Victor was extremely accommodating for us. Our flight landed so early and we had nowhere to place our bags so he let us drop them off and hang out on the terrace while they prepped our suite. It’s walkable to everything in the city and close to the metro so it’s easy to get to and from the airport. We loved it here and would definitely stay again!

Staying at Phos was absolutely incredible! The apartment was beautiful and had a balcony with an amazing view of the Acropolis!! Cris and Eva were super responsive and kind. It was a fabulous place to rest from the hot afternoons, and was super close (~15min or less walking) to the Acropolis, Agora, & Monastiriki market! They also offered a taxi service from the airport at a very reasonable rate to get to the apartment early so we could drop off our luggage from our early flight and get to exploring Athens immediately - Leonidas was an awesome taxi driver!

The apartment was great for our stay! It is very modern, the bathroom and the bed are the highlights, very clean and comfortable. We only stayed for one night but it was a great place and Gerasimos was always helpful, e.g. for ordering a taxi for us when we left. Would gladly stay at this place again.

We loved staying at Toni’s place, I would definitely stay again when we come back. Super convenient location, very spacious and clean. We slept great and felt very safe!

The location of the flat was excellent, very central and close to all of Athens’s main attractions. The host was very friendly and responsive and the flat was exactly what we imagined from the pictures and description.

We loved our stay here! The location is perfect for walking around to main attractions and restaurants although due to this it is not always quiet at night. The accommodation had all of the amenities we needed for our stay and check in was very easy! Everything was very clean and instructions were clear. Highly recommend!

Fabulous location - walking distance to everything including the metro station. The apartment is gorgeous with a well equiped kitchen, very comfortable bed and a balcony to enjoy a cup of tea/coffee. Maria arranged a taxi to meet us at the airport. Highly recommend 🥰

I can’t say enough about this spectacular apartment, its view, and location! Absolutely breathtaking! It’s right in the heart of everything you’d want to see about Ancient Greece in Athens! Short walking distance to the Acropolis and so much more. I would easily stay here again and highly recommend to others!

Si estás por reservar, no lo dudes más, reserva y quedate en este apartamento, la ubicación es excelente, la vista de ensueño, lastima que vas a querer quedarte mucho tiempo en el apartamento y no vas a querer salir a pasear por las calles de Atenas. Sin duda no exagero la vista de día es hermosa, pero de noche vas a sorprender. Si estás por tomar la decisión no dudes más y reserva con John. Sino lo haces te vas arrepentir, haceme caso, reserva ya y disfruta de una vista única.

The location was amazing with an incredible view. Our host was extremely helpful and friendly. The place was exactly as described. So many nice shops, restaurants and bar were minutes walk away.

Finest Airbnb I have ever stayed in. Actually, it's hard to compare with other Airbnbs because this was such a cut above. Views of the Acropolis from almost every part of the two story unit. 10 mins from the best dining and the Acropolis museum. Very private and safe even when entirely open to Athens as both floors open to the outside with extensive outdoor areas on both floors. Very, very clean, high end Euro design and top notch technology and everything easy to use. My family and I were blown away. Lastly we chose the daily breakfast delivery. Made the day start just right.

This place was incredible! I’m so glad I booked it! Eukaterina was very responsive and kind. She met me at the entrance for check-in and explained everything. It’s a small apartment but perfect! The view is incredible and the balcony outside is so nice. Such a privilege to wake up to this view. The hosts also provided a lot of great local recommendations! I would definitely recommend staying here!

This place is amazing. The view is a dream. Location is excellent. Close to restaurants and iconic places to visit. Peaceful at night and spacious. Looks better in person. I would give a 10 score if it was available. When visiting Athens this is the place to stay. Even more if you are a family. They made accommodations for baby guests. This is the third Airbnb in our 17 day trip and by far the best. Amazing service. Superb host.

We had a great stay here! The location couldn’t be better — right in the heart of Plaka, with easy walking access to the Acropolis, shops, and restaurants. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a smooth stay. Check-in was simple, and communication with our host was quick and helpful. We’d absolutely stay here again!
