Family-friendly holiday rentals in West Athens Regional Unit

If I could give Andreas more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. From the moment we booked, his communication was outstanding. He proactively reached out and helped us navigate a taxi strike on our arrival day, ensuring a smooth start to our trip. He personally welcomed us and shared thoughtful recommendations — every restaurant, whether off the beaten path or near the main sites, was exactly what we were looking for. Andreas went above and beyond by helping us make all our dinner reservations and making sure we felt completely taken care of by periodically checking in throughout our stay His apartment is immaculately clean, with a peaceful outdoor space where we enjoyed morning espresso and birdsongs — the perfect start to our days. The location was ideal: close to everything we wanted to see, but tucked away enough that it felt calm and relaxed. This was one of our best Airbnb stays ever, thanks to Andrea’s hospitality, attention to detail, and warmth. Don’t hesitate — book now.

The Airbnb itself has lots of character with an incredibly helpful host! Walkable distance from the tourist attractions like the Acropolis and Plaka old town, but all around the Airbnb was local quirky restaurants and bars.

We loved this wonderful home! Perfect location—walkable to restaurants, shopping, and the Acropolis. The host was friendly and flexible host with great communication. The views from the rooftop are amazing! There are a lot of stairs in the house that would be difficult if you have mobility issues or toddlers, but it’s a great place to stay as long as stairs aren’t a problem for you.

Theo was very helpful very good communicator and I would recommend a place to anyone that’s happy to stay with a group of friends in the heart of Athens

Can't beat the location right off Ermou street where lots of shopping is, easy walking to many of the city's attractions, several cafe and restaurants just outside and around the corner. Will definitely keep it in mind the next time we are back.

Absolutely stunning. The view from the apartment is second to none, and looks even better in real life compared to the photos. Within walking distance of many great attractions and restaurants. Quick to reply. All in all superb experience.

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!

The apartment is wonderful, spacious and has many more amenities than described. It is a house with everything you may need. It is also very peaceful with beautiful balconies. It is ideal also for families with toddlers, there is a nice park nearby. We had a great stay!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review for Demetrius Sofos Palindrome of Wisdom, Ambassador of Hospitality In less than 24 hours, Demetrius transformed my stay from a weary arrival into a heartfelt homecoming. After a long journey on foot, he came to find me in the city—literally—so I wouldn’t have to navigate the last stretch alone. From that moment on, it was clear: this wasn’t just a host… this was a friend. We shared laughs as he drove me around town, pointing out coastal gems, bus lines, and even a local market where I grabbed dinner/drinks for just six euros. Back at the apartment, he helped me use the laundry facilities, brought a drying rack down personally, adjusted the oven for me, and even asked how my pizza turned out (frozen pizza in a convection oven = surprisingly amazing). He taught me to manage water and heat efficiently, and to tilt or open the balcony doors for airflow or a sea breeze. And when it came time to leave, he drove me directly to the cruise terminal, saving me at least €15

Lovely stay in Athens at this cute bnb with a ton of character, perfect for a short stay in the city. Great communication, lovely hosts with good recommendations. Looking forward to returning again so thank you 🙏🏼

We spent one week in Athens at this apartment. The area is lively and very close to the subway, restaurants, bars and there is a park on the hill, which only takes around 20 minutes by foot. From there, you have a marvelous view to the sea on one side and the acropolis on the other. Athens is a great city anyways and spending some time in this area was perfect for our visit. The communication was very friendly and super easy going, helpful and flexible.

Very authentic and nice Greek place! Not in a very touristy neighborhood but very close to the subway station. Even if not mentioned there is AC in the living room which was highly appreciated! Theodoris was a super host, I highly recommend.

I can’t speak highly enough of Haidi and her property. The location is perfect, walkable to everything. And the apartment is immaculate and comfortable. We will definitely visit again.

Highly recommend Peter’s spot! Super affordable, central location. It’s a bit busy but nice to be near all of the neighborhoods you might want to hang in. Peter went above and beyond to make our stay easy. He was always responsive and super kind. One bummer was that we woke up to loud construction right above us on our first morning. We talked to Peter about it, though, and it wasn’t a problem after that. Overall, great stay :)

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 good location and absolutely amazing place to stay. Alexandre and Meru were extremely helpful

Panos is an excellent host, very kind and generous. He arranged and paid for transport for us and airport pick up for our son on a separate date. He even gave us a lift home from a restaurant one evening and then we had a nice drink together. Panos and his family live on the floors above the Airbnb rental, which is on floors-1 and -2. The pool is excellent, although not large it is deep and has an “endless swim“ function that gives a great workout trying to swim against the current. The view of Athens is also amazing, especially from the -1 floor large picture window. Note that the -1 floor is open plan containing a double bed and the kitchen, but the -2 floor bedroom has a door for privacy. Steep hills nearby give you a serious workout when walking but taxis are reasonable (usually about 8-11 euros from the acropolis)

The place was beautiful, very clean and cozily furnished with a great kitchen where there was everything you need to cook and to make yourself a coffee in the morning. The roof terrace can only be reached via an elevator, but it is very private and you have an extremely great view over Athens. We felt comfortable and would keep coming back! As only note: the location is very nice and quiet in a very safe neighborhood of Athens, however you really walk a lot of stairs to get to the apartment.

This spot is nothing short of Unique! The host was so kind and very responsive. We loved the accessibility to local restaurants and bars. We were able to get and Uber very quickly if we needed. The rooms were great and spacious. The pool was definitely a unique touch. I’d be mindful of the shower situation though, no shower curtain in the claw foot tub and the shower curtain in the downstairs shower didn’t prevent the water from going in the bathroom. Other than the showers the stay was incredible and so fun with a group of friends. I recommend if you want a unique stay in the arts area of Athens

An absolutely magnificent place! Hard to imagine that you can find a place like this in a large city! It was a short walk from restaurants, supermarket and the metro. Rooftop pool with great privacy was wonderful on hot days and also swimming at night with the city lights in the background. Rooftop terrace was overlooking the city and with views to Lycabettus hill and nature on the other side. On many evenings we ordered food in and ate at the rooftop terrace. We were a group of six and could not have been more pleased with our stay. Dimitris was very helpful and a great host!

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful Airbnb villa! The property was spotless, spacious, and tastefully decorated, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway.

Perfect location to experience the local scene, close to markets and local restaurants, all well within short walking distance. Home was really clean, no complaints, beds were comfortable and ample hot water. The area is some what dated since it appears to be 40 years old or so but that adds to the ambience of the area. Great food & drink all around and Uber really makes travel quick within the City.

Very nice family house with swimming pool and all the necessary comforts for a good stay. Nikos is a very responsive and friendly host. I highly recommend this rental.

Excellent location of modern apartment for town, tourist attractions, restaurants and getting to the airport. We made great use of the pool, for which Stamatis provided towels. Had everything required for basic cooking. Stamatis was very attentive, insisting to be there when we arrived. He showed us the apartment and made sure to talk through a map of the areas we wished to visit. Wanting to visit an island, Stamatis recommended Hydras. It was gorgeous and easy to get to using the metro and then a ferry.
