I did not get to meet my host, but I was greeted by the lovely and helpful Joanna. She was very thorough in acquainting me with the apartment and providing me with maps, information, and resources.

The apartment had everything I needed including a sweet kitty who visited me on the back balcony.

The location of this place is fantastic. It is very close to the Rotunda which (apologies to the White Tower fans) I think should be the symbol of Thessaloniki. Although close to the tourist spots and the water, it was in a small and quite neighborhood with lots of shops, cafes, and interesting people. Really great.

The apartment was clean, everything worked, and the price was great too. I definitely recommend this place. Note though - if you are much over 6'2" you may have a bit of a problem fitting in the shower.
