I’ve stayed at many an Airbnb but I think this one is my all-time favourite.
The flat itself is perfect - spacious, super clean, full of light and so quiet you could hear a pin drop - though its crowning glory is the roof terrace from which you can enjoy quite spectacular views out onto the town, the bay and the mountains. My mornings spent out there basking in the winter sunshine were nothing short of idyllic.
The location of the flat also couldn’t have been better: bang smack in the heart of the charming and tranquil old town but also just a short walk from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. You’ve bakeries and amazing restaurants within 30 seconds of the front door as well as a pretty impressive supermarket just a few minutes away. The area also feels incredibly safe - I walked about by myself at all hours and felt at ease the whole time.
And, to top it all off, you’ve got Kelly and Giorgos: possibly Airbnb’s nicest ever hosts. They went out of their way time and again to make sure my stay was perfect - giving me personalised recommendations about things to do and eat in Thessaloniki, helping me get to and from the airport, even inviting me out for a delicious lunch and plying me with local booze!
In short, I’d recommend them and their flat in a heartbeat - and I’m already thinking about when I can go back again!
