Perfect Plaka Stay
Pros:

It was in a perfect location. The staff were very helpful. The breakfast was great and even had many gluten free options for me. We arrived early so we left our bags and went out. There’s a supermarket very close by also.
There’s a beautiful roof top restaurant where we ate our last night in Athens. The view of the Acropolis lit up was amazing and the food was excellent!

Great location. Great view from the restaurant/bar on roof; friendly staff; good breakfast.

Cons:

Hostess in restaurant was rude; food unimpressive at restaurant, most mediocre meal I’ve had; room cards had to be refreshed multiple times in a less than a 24 hour hour period.
