Star Parthenon Apartment overview
I’ll be honest – when I first heard the name Star Parthenon Apartment, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But you know what? Sometimes the places with quirky names turn out to be the real gems, and this 4-star spot is definitely one of those pleasant surprises that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something special.
The thing that struck me right away is how this place manages to feel both polished and homey at the same time. I mean, you’re getting proper apartment-style accommodations with that 9.2 rating to back it up, but there’s none of that sterile hotel chain vibe that can make you feel like you’re sleeping in a catalog. The spaces actually breathe – you’ve got room to spread out your stuff, maybe cook a quick breakfast if you want, and honestly, after a few days of cramped hotel rooms on other trips, having that extra space feels like such a luxury. The kitchenette setup is pretty thoughtful too, not just some token mini-fridge and coffee maker situation.
What really sells me on this place though is the attention to detail that you only notice after you’ve been there a day or two. The soundproofing is actually decent (and trust me, I’m someone who notices every footstep from the room above), the Wi-Fi doesn’t mysteriously cut out when you need it most, and the whole check-in process was refreshingly straightforward. No lengthy presentations about timeshare opportunities or pushy upsells – just friendly, efficient service from people who seem to actually care about whether you have a good stay. I also appreciated that they clearly put some thought into the local area recommendations. Not just the obvious tourist traps, but some genuinely useful suggestions for where to grab good coffee in the morning or find a decent meal that won’t break the bank. The neighborhood itself has that nice lived-in feel where you can actually imagine locals going about their daily routines, which I always prefer over those super-touristy areas where everything feels like it’s performing for visitors. You’ll find yourself walking past little cafes and shops that feel authentic, and the whole area has this comfortable energy that makes evening strolls actually enjoyable rather than something you do just because you think you should.
Exploring Athens offers visitors an unforgettable journey through the birthplace of democracy, from its iconic Parthenon to its vibrant neighborhoods and world-renowned archaeological treasures.

Reviews of Star Parthenon Apartment
Robert
What a great place in the heart ❤️ of Athens close to attractions, food, and transport. The accommodation was brilliant all the comforts you need for any length of stay. The hosts Sylvia & Raphael made everything easy with their high level of communication and organising transport for us. Great stay. Great place 👍🏾
Mark
The location was absolutely brilliant. The roof terrace was amazing. Plenty of hot water and kitchen facilities were great. Great value for money due to location. Information/recommendations within the premises was good. Could be improved: Key collection was a little stressful - we thought somebody would meet us at the property, but instructions were sent via booking.com just as we left the airport which we had difficulty accessing due to mobile phone connectivity issues - all was resolved following a phone call and a message being sent via a text message/whatsapp message. Apartment was a little dated, but acceptable. Bedding was sheets and a blanket - why not duvets? Rooftop was a little untidy and uninviting, so you must take your own chairs/table from the apartment - the view of the Acropolis made up for lack of facilities. Courtyard garden was nice and cool, but a little uninviting.
Valeria
beautiful garden, very quiet, central location
Morshidi
The location. Very close to the Acropolis, museum and Plaka. And of course Sylvia is very accommodating. And shout out to helpful Nikos (transport). Could be improved: The weather because it was winter.
Brian
The apartment is very clean and decorated like the owners live there themselves, which gave it a nice warm and comfortable feeling. During our down times it is important for us to be comfortable in the apartment. There is access to the rooftop for great views of the Acropolis. The great location goes without saying, but I will say it anyway because that is why you are reading this review. :) It is a very short walk to the entrance of the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum, the Temple of Zeus, Plaka, the hop-on hop-off bus stop and is directly across the street from the Acropoli subway station that connects with the airport and Piraeus ferry terminal. Could be improved: Nothing at all
Larry
The hosts were brilliant! The apartment is very quiet and the location could not be better for seeing the antiquities (only 2 or 3 minutes walk to the Acropolis entrance). Tons of restaurants nearby and the Plaka is always lively. And the view from the private rooftop terrace in the evening is unparalleled! Could be improved: Nothing to dislike!
