Thanassis and his brother Costas will welcome you like family (and their lovely mum sent down home cake on the days she baked too). As others have said - the flat is a little way off the main tourist areas - but we loved hanging out in a 'normal' neighbourhood, enjoying the numerous cafes that are all around, nice local bakeries etc. Since there are not many tourists everyone is very very friendly. The apartment itself is on the ground floor and as in the photos you have a little outside patio area too. The style is quite 'old fashioned' - but for us that was also part of the charm of staying in a 'family-owned' property. The closest bus stop is about 5 minutes walk away and the number 34 has you in Aristotle square in about 10 minutes or so. The buses can get very full - but again we found that to be all 'part of the experience' If buses aren't your thing a taxi will cost Euro 5 to 6 to take you down town. The railway station is about a 15 minute walk - while the central bus station again about Euro 5-7 in a taxi. Google the restaurant 'Svoura' which is great - and just 10 minutes or less to walk from the flat. Enjoy Thessaloniki !
