This apartment is located a few steps from Aristotle Square, the very center of Thessaloniki. The sea wall is a 2 -3 minute walk. All of the best restaurants and cafes are accessible within 1-5 minutes. The apartment is on the 7th floor, facing the back of the building, which is a positive for noise reduction because the building is on the most prominent shopping street of the city. Access is an additional 6 stair steps from the elevator door. The suite itself has been entirely renovated with some nice choices, decor is minimal, including the kitchen supplies: the kitchen cupboards that hold the glasses and plates are set up high —- acceptable for very tall people, but not designed for average height people, the bedroom is a corner, has 2 windows which made it bright, the balcony faced other apartments building in the back, and still contained some paint cans and renovation debris, which perhaps will be gone by the time this review goes out. There is a washing machine, but the controls are in Greek without a manual; one can ask the host for instructions in English.
This apartment is ideal for short stays and for people who will be mostly outside sightseeing and eating their meals out.
The check-in process was pleasant and I received help with my luggage from the host. Also upon check-in, the entry door and lock was broken, the interior door handle was dislodged from the door and unfortunately it took 7 days to fix. I requested a few basic items for the kitchen and some things were provided to me, which I appreciated. My stay was intended for 12 nights, however, upon mutual agreement with the host and full disclosure with Airbnb, I moved out of the apartment early.
