“The place is amazing. Exactly as promised. Clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Everything matched the listing perfectly. Nadia was an exceptional host—genuinely rare to find at this level of care and professionalism. I will most certainly return and keep an eye on this place. Definetly a rare gem.”

“The apartment was perfectly as pictured and cleaner than I could have imagined. Also, it had everything you need, including linen, kitchen utensils, and cleaning utensils, and we had a comfortable stay as if we were at home. Also, looking at the maintenance status of the entire apartment, I understood how carefully it was managed, so I tried to use it cleanly and carefully. The location is about a 2-minute walk from the subway station, and there is a large supermarket nearby, which is very convenient. .. I would like to stay there again when I go to Athens.”

The small flat was all I needed. It had a second bed and it was in a great part of the city. Simply going out for a walk and suddenly being able to see the Acropolis is invaluable! I found great stores .. 24-hour service, and the best bakery in the world, all within a short walk. I told all my friends they MUST visit Athens, and if they could stay with Nadia, they'd be blessed.

“This apartment was great. The hostess Nadia is insanely friendly, gave recommendations where to go, we had a chat where the residents of the house wrote and gathered together to see the sunset. Thank you to this house for impressions!”

“This place is amazing. It's perfectly located in a cozy quiet neighborhood, but is also real close to the city centre (about 20 minutes walk through cozy streets). There's also a metro station just one minute away (and yet it's not loud, so it doesn't bother you at all, it even kinda adds some coziness).
Check-in is automated. Communication is great. Overall it's just awesome.”

What We Stand For
01
An elegant 60’s building in a prime locale, Ano Petralona
Ano Petralona is a much sought out destination in the heart of Athens for those seeking an authentic local experience. This elegant family building, built in the 1960’s, is ideally placed steps from the metro station “Petralona”. The space is well maintained, retaining some elements of the original architecture. Since we mainly cater to longer-term renters, our “less is more” ethos translates into neutral, functional furniture so as not to override the guest’s personal taste.
02
Access to unique roof terrace with urban skyline
An authentic Athenian living includes extending daily life onto the roof terrace. Tenants enjoy this large, thoughtfully designed shared terrace over two levels, which includes a dining/worktop area and comfortable chaise longues. Breathtaking views of the urban cityscape extend beyond Petralona, towards snow-topped mountains that frame Athens. An occasional wave to other rooftop neighbours establishes your sense of locality and Petralonianism.
03
A community of internatonally like- minded travellers
A personal, family-run endeavor, we are the owners and travelers ourselves, who occasionally live on the premises, and aim to foster a cohesive, like-minded community. We focus on longer‑term rentals, which creates a comfortable sense of familiarity among neighbours. A community tool is also available to encourage trust and mutual support when needed. Feeling connected and safe is our priority - for both our tenants and ourselves.
Your Questions, Answered
How does it work?
We begin with a simple online form to understand your requirements and preferred timelines. Within 48 hours, we will introduce ourselves, check availability, and may offer you alternatives in the same building. As owners, we aim to provide personalised, flexible solutions. Viewings cannot take place if the apartments are occupied.
All-inclusive? .. what about utilities, service fees and wifi costs?
Utilities (electricity, water, and gas, where applicable) are included in your rental package, subject to fair usage, of course. We provide guidance on using ACs and appliances economically and responsibly. Building service fees (kinokhrista) are also included. Shared WIFI (fibre) is provided free to our residents. Even though cleaning during stays is not included, we do provide a reliable contact.
What should I expect regarding contracts, payments and invoicing?
After agreeing on availability, scope of time, and rent, we provide an official e-gov rental contract outlining deposits, timelines, and payment schedules. Documents required would be an official ID/passport and AFM for Greek citizens. This transparent process ensures you know exactly what to expect before moving forward.
Are pets allowed?
Even though we absolutely love animals, we have a strict no-pets policy, in consideration to other renters who may suffer from allergies.
Is smoking allowed?
This is a strictly non-smoking building, i.e., no smoking is allowed in closed private or common building spaces, and especially inside the apartments. If you choose to smoke, you may do so on the roof itself or on the balconies, and of course, always dispose of cigarette remains responsibly.
