Excellent City Stay

responsive staff rainy day convenient location basic lunch
I appreciated the staff's responsiveness. They provided an umbrella during a rainy day. A cleaner promptly remade the sofa bed when we noticed a stain upon arrival. The train station was conveniently located, only about a ten-minute walk away. A cafe nearby offered basic lunch and breakfast items. dinner options (souvlaki and salads).
The area had limited restaurant options.
