Hi @Panagiotis119 

You already have a great starting point, central location and a 2-bedroom apartment are strong advantages in Thessaloniki.

A few practical suggestions based on what usually works well:

Title & Description

Try to lead with what makes your place special rather than just the location. If the balcony view or proximity to Galerius Arch is a highlight, bring that forward in the title. In the description, keep it clear and guest-focused: what they’ll enjoy, not just what’s included.

Photos & Presentation

Photos make a huge difference. Bright, well-lit shots taken during the day usually perform best. If possible, show the balcony view clearly and include a couple of lifestyle shots (coffee on the balcony, dining area set up, etc.). Guests like to imagine themselves there.

Amenities

Fast and reliable Wi-Fi, good air conditioning, comfortable beds, and clear self check-in instructions tend to matter more than lots of extras. If you host families or groups, highlighting space and storage helps.

Visibility / SEO

Using natural keywords in your title and description (city center, balcony, walkable, close to landmarks) helps. Also, keeping your calendar updated and responding quickly to inquiries can improve how often your listing is shown.

Small tweaks can make a noticeable difference over time. Hope this helps, and best of luck with your listing!
