We love Thessaloniki, and staying at Antonis's apartment helped us feel at home. We used the washing machine, drip coffee maker, burners to cook breakfasts--all without problems. Antonis had plenty of detergent, coffee, shampoo & soap--there was really nothing we needed to buy at the store. In fact, Antonis had a nice bowl of fruit waiting for us when we arrived. He took the time out to explain his recommendations for food on the map; one restaurant up the hill in the Old Town was absolutely mouthwatering! Our nights on the balcony were bliss, drinking tea and enjoying the cool breeze. We had unusually cool weather--it is normally quite hot in August! I highly recommend Antonis's apartment !
