Hosts: made this trip 110% better than we expected. Helpful and knowledgeable about food, sites, and things to do and experience while you are in Athens. Communicating with the host before arrival and her husband Chris during your trip will give you a greater understanding of Greek culture & help you avoid mistakes that most tourists make.
Space: magnificent. Much larger than a hotel room and super clean and well-kept. This is not a shared apartment and you truly do get your own living space including a kitchenette and bathroom.
Amenities: King bed that can be split into two twins if you ask nicely. There is an iron and iron board, full length mirror, lots of closet space that includes additional clean towels and duvet. The apartment is exactly as pictured.
Location: near police station and 10 minute walk to the flea market and 15 minutes to Acropolis. There are a few restaurants, cafes, and bakeries in the surrounding area. If you want to hop on a tour bus - there is a stop 3 minutes from the apartment near the restaurants. Ubers to Plaka, Gazi, etc. were 4-5 euros (taxis were double that).
City: visit Athens!! It is a beautiful city full of history, good food, and amazing people. Meals are super affordable and if you stay at Nelly and Chris's near the city center most attractions are walkable.
*Book early as they fill fast and once you stay, you'll want to do it over again!
