AniBo Studios & Apartments GLADSTONOS

Местоположението в центъра на града беше решаващо при избора на място за настаняване, защото имахме съвсем ограничено време да разгледаме Солун. Ключовете бяха достъпни с код, което ни улесни, защото нямаше нужда да се съобразяваме с определен час. Не видяхме домакините, но нямахме никакви проблеми. Освен това успяхме да паркираме наблизо.

Шумно е и затова не използвахме балкона. Все пак, успяхме да заспим на отворена врата на балкона, въпреки уличния шум. Имаше климатик, но нашият избор беше да не го ползваме.

J’ai tout aimé dans cet appartement, il était confortable

Dommage qu’il a pas une machine à laver dedans, sinon c’était bien passé

The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The location was great, close to the city center.

The location was a little difficult to find at first, and the entrance doors were a bit difficult to unlock. Other than that, everything was great.

The owner was exceptionally kind, helpful and professional throughout our stay. The location is fantastic, just a three-minute walk from the main public transport connections, near places to go out, with buses going both to the city centre and to the beaches outside Thessaloniki. The bed was comfortable, there was always hot water, and the air conditioning was clean, powerful and kept the apartment pleasantly cool. The fridge was also fully functional.

There are, however, a few things that could be improved. To be fair, some of these issues are outside the owner's control. There is a construction site directly opposite the balcony, which makes the view rather neglected. Above it, there is also a pigeon loft which can be extremely noisy in the mornings. The balconies and the outdoor area were quite dirty from pigeon droppings, particularly the pavement and the outdoor table. The bathroom could also benefit from some renovation, as it looks rather old and worn, although it was clearly cleaned and hygienic. We also had some difficulty with the locking system for the various doors, including the main entrance, the interior door and the apartment door. There was also a strong feeling of dampness and an unpleasant smell in the building's corridor, so better ventilation could make a significant difference. Finally, we encountered a considerable mosquito problem during our first few nights, with more than 20 mosquitoes inside the accommodation and on the walls. We were bitten several times. Installing a mosquito screen on the balcony door or providing a mosquito repellent device would be a very helpful improvement. Overall, the owner was wonderful and the location is excellent. With a few improvements to the bathroom, ventilation, door locks and mosquito protection, the accommodation could be considerably more comfortable.
