great locationpolite staffclean accommodationnoise issue

I enjoyed a great location near Monastiraki Square. The front desk staff was very courteous and cute to me! The AC, TV, mini fridge, and Wi-Fi all worked perfectly. It was one of the cleanest accommodations I have experienced in Greece, so I'd say the comfort level is great.

I could hear all the comings and goings at night. People don't always respect the quiet, so I noticed some noise.

The reception service was available 24/7 which suited my travel times well.

I could clearly hear noise from the hallway due to gaps under the door. It made it difficult to sleep well since the soundproofing was not effective.
