I would definitely recommend staying at vasilis place. my husband and I have stayed at 5 star hotels in different countries but you are definitely paying for that luxury. Vasilis's apartment is very luxurious at affordable prices. The neighborhood is definitely in a transitional period and it might appear a bit rough but the apartment is a hidden gem. We walked around at night and always felt safe. the restaurant below the apartment is amazing! my daughter couldn't stop talking about how delicious the herring was.
