Although we never met Ilias in person, he made sure that everything is fine and offered help and suggestions. We really liked his flat that is perfect for a couple and that felt like home immediately. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need and the big terrace and the view on Thessaloniki and the sea are just great.
If you don't mind walking uphill for about 15 to 30 minutes, getting to the flat by foot from the center of Thessaloniki shouldn't be any problem for you. The area around the flat has some run-down buildings, but it has a very nice atmosphere (lots of nice alleys), it's quite calm and by far not as busy as the city center. We really enjoyed our stay in Ilias flat.
