Great Condo Available for an Athens Visit, very close to campus and downtown
The condo was well-maintained, clean, and close to everything in Athens. The Host checked in on us and was amenable to a late checkout. Will stay there again if we have the opportunity.

Hotel Abacus
Staff was kind and room was clean! It's an older building, which you can tell, but still nice. Walls are thin so we could hear the people in the room next to us pretty well. It's super convenient when you are going to a show at the Foundry.
