My stay at Thanasis’s place was a great Air B&B experience. I didn't have a chance to meet Thanasis, but he always responded to any questions I had quickly, and he made sure that I was well taken care of during my stay. His co-host Fotis and his family were wonderful to me. They're very kind people. My train from Athens was 45 minutes late and I was without wifi. They very kindly waited for me at the apartment and went out of their way to make me feel welcome when I arrived. The apartment is excellent value for the money, and the neighborhood is quiet and convenient to the train and bus station. It's a bit outside of the touristy areas so if you're looking for an authentic Thessaloniki neighborhood to stay in; this is it. On Saturday's there's a multi-block farmers/flea market not far from the apartment and many cafes and bakeries in the neighboorhood. There are three grocery stores within easy walking distance and a junction for city buses at the train station if you don't feel like walking. Great neighborhood. Great people. A great experience!
