Eliana was everything a good host should be; she was very welcoming, allowed us full use of the apartment (which was very clean) and was very interesting to talk to. The apartment was small and cozy and we never got in each others way. The neighbourhood is local and quiet with busy markets on the weekend. It is very close to the bus station into the city (easy walk as well). An excellent spot to explore Thessaloniki from!
Also her cats are adorable...
