Akis' apartment is in a prime location off a small street 1 block from the waterfront. The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with all the essentials. The blackout shades were amazing, and the sound proofing with the windows and doors was excellent. However, if you are a VERY light sleeper, you might have a bit of trouble due to the proximity to the bars, but the music is very faint.

The wraparound balcony was wonderful, we enjoyed our coffees and breakfasts on the patio overlooking the ocean.

The only problem I had was on check-in, Akis was traveling and I was without internet access once I left San Francisco, so I wasn't able to access the check in instructions that were emailed. Other than that, Akis was a wonderful host, he even dropped off a table for me to work on, and was very communicative.

I wouldn't think twice about staying at Akis' lovely apartment again if we're ever back in Thessaloniki.
