Ioulianos and I corresponded months before I came, but after i booked, because I had some questions and then I had to cancel and reschedule my whole trip. He was so very nice and helpful at all times. He always responded right away and was willing to help in any way he could.
He was out of town when I arrived, but arranged to have his landlady, Sofia, and her English speaking son, Michael, there to meet me at the apartment. There they were, waiting out front with big, welcoming smiles, when I arrived by taxi from the bus station. Sofia and Michael showed me how the keys worked and how everything in the apartment worked,,,from the a/c, windows, door, shower hot water, to the washing machine.. so nice! And chocolates (thanks!)
Now, about the apartment....wow! wow! wow! It is beautiful! Contemporary design, Flat screen tv, a hallway, air conditioning, nice size kitchen, fridge, washing machine, AND the best of all, a queen size, COMFORTABLE bed! In my travels for the last 5.5 weeks, I have slept in 10 beds (8 in Greece and 2 in Serbia) THIS BED was the most wonderful, most comfortable bed out of all of them, hotels included! It was difficult to get up and see the city because it was so great.
Another thing is, The apartment is fairly central, but if you are not used to walking, you can also take the buses (or taxis are very close too). Bus numbers and times are easy to get if you look on Google maps. It will tell you which bus and at which time. The apartment itself is also easily accessible because there is an elevator..and not many stairs if you do prefer to take stairs (not me).
There is a coffee shop with some nice old guys and a lady (also a different Sofia) directly across the street. There is a grocery store and really, anything you need, very close. Ioulianos will help you if you have any questions. Highly recommend this place!
