Nur Aparthotel Athens
Clean, modern, comfortable bed/pillows. Not a typical "hotel" - building access code, elevator code and room access code provided before arrival so you don't have the usual check-in experience which is great for a private, no bother experience, though there is on-site staff available if need.
