I stayed at Vicky’s place for first 12 days of October 2020.
It was the perfect size for just myself and it would also suite a couple great. There is a sofa bed but I think the place might be a bit crowded with more than 3 adults.
I loved my time here. The place was sparkling clean when I checked in. Looks just like the pictures (though I didn’t get a welcome bottle of wine HAHA)
Vickys check in instructions were very clear. The instructions to find the washing machine were a little less clear but that’s not vickys fault, it just happens to be in a place that requires a lot of instructions to find haha (I did not do laundry during my stay)
There is 2 A/C units one in living area and one in bedroom which was great, since sometimes if there’s only one unit it doesn’t reach the bedroom or vice versa.
When the windows and doors are fully closed it’s fairly sound proof and I didn’t hear much from neighbours but I think that’s because there weren’t many occupants due to Covid.
I was on 1st floor just up a few stairs from the lobby so I never took the elevator, but there is one.
There is a water dispenser in the fridge with 2L water reservoir in the door that you need to take out and fill at the tap or you can flip the lid and fill it from a bottle.
The balcony doors only have handles on the inside so if you are a smoker you just have to use your fingernail and get a grip on the frame somehow and pull door closed (it won’t latch don’t worry, and sometimes depending on the wind it won’t close at all from outside so then you’ll just go downstairs to have a cigarette no big deal)
Overall I had a great time here! There’s a huge 4K tv and Netflix which came in very handy (choose the account “English” for English content) though the pullout couch is very deep and sometimes awkward to sit in comfortably but nothing that some pillows couldn’t fix.
The area immediately outside the apartment isn’t anything special, seems more like an alley than a street, but once you get onto the perpendicular streets to the left or right it’s more metropolitan, and you are only a 3 minute walk down to the huge seaside promenade that makes Thessaloniki so special with access to public transport, restaurants, bars, grocery store, kiosk, pharmacy etc.
The price may be a bit high for some (depending on where you’re from or where you’re used to staying) but it was a very modern and well appointed flat so I think the price is worth it, and still CERTAINLY cheaper than a hotel room.
I would definitely recommend vickys place to anyone! :)
