I was transiting through Athens and wanted to stay the night at a place that'd be convenient to see the most important sights of the city -- Makis' home was definitely a good choice! It's centrally located, right next to the Monastiraki metro station, walking distance to the Acropolis, and a stone's throw away to the restaurants, bars, antiques and souvenir shops in old town Athens.

Makis was a very gracious host who was very easy to communicate with, and who trusted me with his lovely bohemian house (as he was out of town traveling) during my stay. His roof deck has amazing views of the Acropolis at night, and his home has a rustic, nonconformist character to it that is worth experiencing firsthand. I would definitely consider staying there again if ever I find myself in Athens in the future, it was great value for money!
