To say it with a song: " Even better than the real thing'!
We just spent 9 nights at Harry's place and we simply loved it from start to finish. Harry responded within minutes to our booking request and the arrival information/address details followed shortly. At the apartment we were warmly welcomed by Vasilis who was just rounding up an Airbnb photo shoot: You get 10 out of 10 points Vasilis! Thank you so much for your hospitality and the tips/suggestions: We had some trouble finding out how to get to Edessa (waterfall!) by public transport and you helped us out.
About the apartment: Perfect for the 2 of us. Great living room with open kitchen: Just like in the pictures and everything we needed was there (amenities/kitchen utensils etc). Bedroom located at the back of the apartment separated from living/kitchen by a hallway: Great if, like with us, one is an ' early bird' and the other is definitely not. Also important: Good water pressure in the shower. Best thing for us was the huge balcony/terrace: Nothing better than having cup of coffee/drink and watching the Thessaloniki everyday life. It's the 'relaxed' life in this area: The apartment is located away from one of the (busy) main streets with supermarkets/bakeries/shops all close. We felt at ease/relaxed/safe.
Same goes with access to public transport: It's a 5 minutes' walk to the French Institute where you can catch bus 10 to the train station or bus 31 to the Maced onia Intercity Bus Station (to get to Edessa for example/platform 19). From the White Tower (5-10 minutes stroll) you can catch the Karavakia boat to Pereia Beach.
So for anybody in doubt whether to stay here: Just do it and you will love it just like we did. Harry and Vasilis: Thank you again and we are supporting your super host status!
