Staying at Yiannis' apartment was probably the best choice I could've made for a pleasant stay in Thessaloniki. Yiannis was a thoughtful host in every sense of the term: he was there to welcome us, show us the place, and provide us with physical maps with his own suggestions for what to do in the city. Yiannis knows his city really well, so he will be able to cater to your own interests and affinities, which is an amazing perk to your stay in Thessaloniki.
The apartment itself was pristine and everything was packed and decorated nicely and functionally. The whole place has a subtle shabby chic vibe to it, which makes it feel both classy and homie at the same time. The apartment had everything that one needs for a pleasant stay as well as some extra touches. Yiannis really did go the extra mile to make us feel comfortable and welcome.
Another handy perk of the apartment is that you don't have to turn the hot water on just before your shower. For non-Greece residents this can be a very annoying practice, but luckily at Yiannis', we didn't have to think about turning the hot water on 15 mins prior to having a shower.
