“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 building in the family since 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 globally minded travellers
A personal endeavor, we are 4 sisters, the owners and travelers ourselves, who occasionally live on the premises, and aim to foster a cohesive, like-minded community. Focusing on longer‑term rentals lends to a comfortable sense of familiarity among neighbours. A community chat 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.
