First off Nikos is an amzing host, loads of information, extremely friendly and was quick to reply late at night when we had an issue with the locks. We were extremely excited for the week after sitting down with him and talking about Thessalonikis best sites. Unfortunately the the Elevator had major saftey issues, randomly stopping between levels, opening half way beteween floors requiring you to crouch and step down onto the floor. We spoke with other tenants who said that it is normal. Not sure if it is usual or not but there was either sewage or wastewater being pumped out of the basement causing the entire building to reek. The locks can be very finicky. The shower head is not mounted to the wall meaning you have to hold it while showering and there is not enough hot water for more than 2 showers in a day it felt like. The toilet flushed with so little pressure it was quite hard to clear the toilet. Nikos is a SuperHost it was just a shame the apartment let us down.
