Atenas desde una perfecta ubicación
Pros:

Céntrico, limpio, el personal dispuesto a ayudar.

Cons:

En el desayuno falta fruta !! Solo hubo sandía dos días. Creo debe haber un mínimo de 3 frutas. Luego en el almuerzo o cena no es fácil nos den en restaurantes. Había variedad de otras cosas pero no de fruta.
