Sophisticated, grey-hued Attika features 22 contemporary studio and one-bedroom apartments over two levels, a short wobble from the William St action (just far enough from the boozy mayhem). Expect good security and compact kitchenettes making clever use of space. It's popular with business bods, so weekend rates are cheaper. Greek eats downstairs; parking $25.
