We never met Ricardo, but we did meet his sister. She was very nice and waited until very late to meet us at the apartment as our flight was delayed 9 hours. The apartment is very clean and very small, but it suits two people just fine. I am very tall, so the bathroom was a bit hard to maneuver. Also, the stairs are very very steep. So if you are unable to easily climb, this is not the apartment for you. The neighborhood is nice. Located very close to the train station (Apolonia) and the metro. Also right by the water. Although there is live music every night until very very late and then construction work considerably early. But that was all that bothered us about the location. There were markets nearby and the kitchen is great for if you are on a budget. Ricardo was very quick with responses to us and altogether we enjoyed our stay at this location.
