I really enjoyed my little home is Thessaloniki. I stayed there on two separate occasions. Both times Theodoros met me at the apartment, helped me get settled and had loads of helpful info about the town and transportation. He helped me with my phone needs and even went to the nearby shop with me to help me get what I needed.
The kitchen and bathroom could use a little attention, but that was OK. On my first visit, the sheets and pillows weren't quite adequate. When I returned I asked for what I needed and it was all as I'd requested when i got there.
Good hot water and heat, a comfortable clean bed with extra blankets, and somewhere to cook--if I've got that, I'm happy. Theodoros' place provides that and much more. I like the location, a little balcony looking over the park just south of the agora, sounds of children playing and birds roosting in the park. I would definitely stay there again.
