We had an amazing time in Athens and enjoyed being close to the local pedestrian zones which were not too touristy.
Kelly was a gracious host! Such a great person, very nice and cordial! She left us some homemade baked cookies and a bottle of wine as an arrival gift 🎁.
Even came by to change out the sheets and towels and left a homemade marble cake (yum).
PROs:
Good location.
Easy walking to all the sites.
Not too touristy of an area.
Local pedestrian zones with restaurants, cafes and bars to the left and right. Although we preferred the one to the left walking out.
Grocery market and pharmacies across the street.
CONs:
The mattresses were hard. We used all of the bedding comforters and blankets as extra padding, which did help.
The outside and neighbor noise was more than what we had expected, but not too disruptive.
RECOMMENDATION:
I would recommend staying at Kelly's place as the pro's outweighed the con's and we were able to really feel like we immersed ourselves in with the locals who were all so nice.
