I recommend staying at Philio's apartment in Thessaloniki. First, Philio was quite helpful with her advice on the city and how to get to the apartment. She then even picked me up at a nearby bus stop. Second, the apartment is in a residential area, (which means that it is quiet) but has many shops and restaurants within a block, (including a grocery store next door). Third, the apartment is in great condition and has everything a traveler will need, including fast Internet. This is a great and cheap apartment.
