This place is basically perfect — book it. A 15-minute walk to the Parthenon and Plaka, Kelly's Greek Home was the ideal home base for two travelers new to Athens. The apartment is colorfully decorated and full of amenities. We especially appreciated the washer (and provided detergent). Kelly herself is warm, welcoming, and superbly helpful. She explained all important details of the apartment and supplied us with many recommendations for our itinerary. She arranged for a driver to transport us to the airport 5:30 a.m. on our return day and even called the driver at that time to confirm pickup. The neighborhood seems safe and relaxed, with supermarkets and a 24-hour pie shop. We will be back!
