Nelly and Chris were really great and their apartment is really beautiful. I know that some of the reviews mention that it's in a rough part of Athens, but that really describes several areas of the city. Once you get to know the area, it really isn't bad (I considered it to be the "norm"). It's within walking distance of everything....Acropolis/Parthenon, Zeus' Temple, Plaka, etc., so the location is really great as we were able to walk to all of the places and eat at all the great restaurants! Nelly's husband Chris came and picked us up from the airport once we arrived (and our flight didn't land until 2am!) and then he gave us a short tour of the area before driving us back to the apartment and drawing several spots on our map of places he recommended or thought we should see. The hospitality was top notch. The apartment was clean and comfortable and was exactly what we expected and needed. We really enjoyed our time in Athens and will gladly stay with Nelly and Chris again in the future!
