Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Athens

My wife and I stayed at their beautiful home to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, and what we experienced was nothing short of hospitality magic. From the moment we arrived, we were wrapped in warmth, kindness, and pure positive energy. Mrs. Chara is not just a host—she’s a sunbeam in human form. Imagine this: we walk in, and there’s a bottle of wine waiting for us with a little note for our anniversary. But it didn’t stop there. The place was overflowing with thoughtful touches—fresh fruit, cold drinks, homemade jams, sweets, and local goodies. Every corner whispered care. Every shelf felt like a warm hug. And just when we thought we couldn’t feel more spoiled… she surprised us with handmade gifts. During our stay. After our stay. We’re still recovering emotionally. Who does that? Mrs. Chara. And the cherry on top? You’re just a 10-minute walk from one of the most iconic beaches in Athens. Morning swims, golden hour walks, or stargazing by the shore—it’s all right there.

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!

We had a great time here! Panayotis was very helpful, and had lots of recommendations! We stayed here the night before our ferry to the islands and it made for a very convenient trip in the morning. We grabbed dinner to-go and enjoyed it on the rooftop deck (for sure a highlight of our trip, and a memory we will have forever!). The only hiccup we had was finding the apartment on our way in. Although I think that was more our fault and not the host’s. Just a heads up if you decide to book I would definitely take them up on their offer to pick you up or take a taxi. Overall I would definitely recommend staying here! ☺️

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.

Short stay but great stay! so beautiful cant wait to come back Very responsive host and so helpful even organised milk for my son which i really appreciate :)

This accomodation was phenomenal. it was accurate to the pictures and an ideal location. after a busy day we felt like we were coming home.

Please look no further for the most amazing place to stay in Athens! Magda is the very best of Host, and her personal driver was just as nice and informative. This experience made Athens all the more wonderful!Location, location, location!

Sotiris’ place was great. Super clean and had all the amenities to make it feel like a home while travelling. Even the little touches were really appreciated. Only a short walk to Psirri. Thanks Sotiris for accommodating us and would recommend this place to anyone.

Maria is a very helpful and welcoming host. Her apartment was very well done up and small details to make our stay comfortable. She helped us a lot with directions and places to go and helped us book our cab as well. The apartment is walking distance from the most happening part of town. We didnt need any transport once we reached there

We had a wonderful stay. The apartment is well laid out, comfy and the views are incredible! The location is great you can walk to most of the sites. There are some very nice restaurants and bars close by as well. We would recommend it.

Such a relaxing stay perfect for any solo travellers, had an issue on the last day where I left my passport behind and Daniel sent my passport to the airport for me in an uber and literally saved me. Could not be more appreciative of the host and my stay was amazing.

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.

Amazing location, very clean and unit fully stocked with anything you might need. Niki is so kind and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful apartment in a very trendy part of Athens. Can’t recommend this place enough, will definitely be back

Great apartment with beautiful view from the balcony to the Acropolis. Very centrally located, we could reach everything on foot. Highly recommended!

Apartment is beautiful and the roof deck is spacious with great views to the water

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful Airbnb in Athens! From the moment we arrived, our host was warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. She struck the perfect balance of being available whenever we needed help, yet always respecting our privacy, something we truly appreciated. The apartment itself was stunning, tastefully decorated, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. One of the highlights was definitely the pool, which we had the pleasure of enjoying throughout our stay. It felt like our own little oasis in the city. Another thoughtful touch was the welcome basket, such attention to detail! It was clear that a lot of care and consideration went into making our stay special. And a special thank you to our host for being so patient and kind when we (more than once!) forgot our keys. She never made us feel like a burden and always helped with a smile. This was one of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve ever had. We can’t recommend it highly enough ❤️

Chris’s place was absolutely perfect! We stayed for one night and would have stayed for another just to make use of the beautiful views on the balcony! Such a great location, with amazing restaurants around. A highlight was lunch at Miss Neapolis - delicious food and friendly service!

Very beautiful apartment, has a unique view of the acropolis and everything you need to a perfect stay. Magda gave us clear instructions and recommendations to visit Athens. Everything was great.

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

Petros place was perfect for my transit night in Athens. Coming in from the ferry port was easy and direct. The apartment is very close to two metro stations. This was convenient to get there and for me to head to the airport in the morning. The instructions to get in were clear and the building felt very safe. The view on the rooftop was perfect, since I didn’t have time to visit the city properly, having the view made it feel like I actually saw something in Athens. Everything was clean and tidy, and the terrace was rally nice with a great sunset view as well. I would stay here again if I had the need! Great deal

great stay in Syntagma, metro is less than 5 minutes away and there are many restaurants around the area. the room very a very nice size. only downside is the hot water takes 20-30 minutes to turn on and it runs out pretty quickly. and the host is not as responsive as I would have liked - when she is available, she responds quickly but other times, it took her 2+ hours to respond. would recommend this place for a short visit.
