Makis was a fantastic host. I arrived after midnight but it was not a problem at all. He was very welcoming and offered lots of great advice regarding things to do in Athens. The apartment was very easy to find and less than one block from the Monastiraki metro station. Nearly everything you want to see in Athens is an easy walk from the apartment. I never needed to use a cab. The rooftop area was great and much larger than I expected. I was even able to use it for some daily exercises. Overall the stay was very nice and I would not hesitate to stay there again. Also, the view of the Acropolis was better than the pictures.
