DIMITRIS N.

Honestly, this was one of the best stays I’ve had in a while. If you’re looking to get away from the generic tourist bubble, this is it. The house is in a really cool, local neighborhood and you barely see any tourists around, so you actually get to feel what it’s like to live there. Yet, it’s super convenient. Loads of shops and restaurants around, and the city center is just few bus stops away.

The house itself is super quiet and literally stocked with everything you could possibly need. I was there for a whole month and felt completely at home the entire time. Also, as a woman traveling solo, I felt 100% safe here. The vibe in the neighborhood is very friendly and relaxed.

Huge shoutout to Dimitris. Such an amazing host with a genuinely good heart. He’s the kind of host you can reach out to anytime without ever feeling like you’re annoying him or being a burden, which makes such a big difference when you're staying somewhere long-term. You can tell he really enjoys what he does 😊

Neighborhood
Super authentic and local. It’s not one of those crowded, artificial tourist hubs, but a real neighborhood where locals actually live. It feels very grounded, relaxed, and above all, completely safe.

For amazing local food, definitely check out Patrikios Grill! And if you're looking for great drinks, Buddies is the place to go.

The house is really soo good!
I was there for two months feeling like home.
So cozy place, very charming yard.
The neighborhood is absolutely fantastic.
You can park everywhere , it is also so close two bus stops. I used the bus all the time.
There is anything you can need in the neighborhood. People around are also friendly.
Dimitris, the host, he is absolutely nice person!
So easy to communicate with.
Very cooperative. He even helped me finding a car service. You can ask him anything and he is always there to help.
I fully recommend his place!
It is rare to find both the place and the host to be perfect. Usually one of them isn't at all.
I would give 100 out of 10.

Neighborhood
Bus lines 11 and 12 are so good to go to the city center.
They come often and are really fast

The apartment was absolutely perfect for my stay as a student in Thessaloniki. Its location in the city made it easy to reach everything quickly, yet it wasn't noisy. The option of using the excellent air conditioning was also a real plus. Communication with the landlord was very straightforward, and he was always happy to help with any questions. Everything was just right.

Neighborhood
Well connected with everything you need, but not to busy

The owner is a good person. Very helpful for any need.
In my case, he even lent me his bike so I could get around more independently, even though public transport is well connected to the house.
Everything works, quiet and safe area, with all shops very close by within walking distance.
I highly recommend it.

Dimitris was an exceptional host. Highly knowledgeable and conscientious. House had all the provisions I required, and was located on the nicer side of town - I've stayed both sides - with readily available supermarkets and gyms. There is a nearby metro station, but I was more than happy to walk around. (A special thanks to Dimitris for letting me back in on the two occasions I locked myself outside - he immediately responded, and was generally always available).

Neighborhood
Safe, quiet and homely.

Recommended places nearby
Gym: bodyfit (as open on Sundays). 10 minute walk.
Supermarket: Lidl (next to gym).

Worth seeing a concert at the music hall, and walking all the way along the pier.

I enjoyed both the byzantine and archaeological museum.

Vladaton monastery, and the walk up there, was most picturesque.

Hagioa Demetrios church is generally considered the most famous church, but I personally preferred the interior of the Holy Church of Panagia Dexia next to the Arch of Galerius. The most memorable church/monastery however was the Agia Theodora Monastery, a surprise find near Hagia Sophia.

Best nightlife area: Ladadika. No competion from my experience.
