Penny’s place was absolutely perfect for our four night stay in Athens. The apartment is a studio but is so spacious and stylish, with everything you need for a few days. The kitchen was well stocked and even had milk, eggs etc. for breakfast! When the weather was warm it was nice to sit on the small balcony.
The area is residential but is still a short walk from Acropolis and other main sights. We did almost everything on foot through the trip. There are also plenty of local cafes, bakeries and supermarkets in the Koukaki area. Street Georgiou Olympiou round the corner is full of local restaurants without the price tag for tourists (Kalyvas grill was our favourite for cheap souvlaki and wine, but everywhere we tried was amazing!)
We didn’t get to meet Penny but she was so kind, easy to communicate with and kept in touch throughout the stay. If you want a taste of local life in Athens stay here!!
