The location seemed like a dream, it was near every place i wished to explore. i enjoyed a short walk to the acropolis. the rooftop terrace revealed beauty i will never forget. A church and the acropolis sharing the skyline.
my room felt small, i found it difficult to manage my suitcases. the limited space made unpacking a bit challenging.
