This home is set within a beautiful 18th-century neoclassical building dating from 1838, and it was originally the residence of Markos Botsaris. It’s in a fantastic location – you can walk to many of the city's historic landmarks, such as the Syntagma and Monastiraki, the Acropolis and Plaka. There are a variety of restaurants, cafes and bars nearby, too, which is handy as this home just has a kitchenette. We love the four-poster bed and bathroom here with its double shower. There’s a communal roof terrace with views over the Acropolis, too. This cosy place will suit business professionals, couples and solo travellers alike.

Home truths:
*You'll have access to the rooftop terrace here. It's shared with the building's other residents.
*This home has no living room.
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. There are plenty of eateries nearby.
*There's no washing machine here, but there's a laundrette within walking distance or a short cab ride away.
*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
