a lovely Hotel within walking distance to major historical sites, markets and restaurants in the Plaka, Athens. Hotel staff were very welcoming and helpful and the rooftop dining area was very pleasant with Acropolis views and pleasant staff.

The Home and Poetry was lovely! The staff were amazing and the rooms spotlessly clean... the location in Plaka incredible! You're waking distance to all the major archeological sites. Would stay there again.
