Romanos and his family are very gracious and welcoming. They were the best hosts we had during our trip through Europe. The studio was very clean, well-decorated and had a great location. We did not end up taking the subway at all as the Parthenon was just about 25 min walk. His mother made us a dish of their local foods and there were jugs of water in the fridge. Romanos provided transportation for us from our ferry and then to the airport (for a fee, but cheaper than taxi). This made our lives much easier since we arrived and left at odd hours. I would recommend staying at their studio.
