Let’s get one thing straight:

You’re here to make the most of your Erasmus experience in Athens, not to stress about surprise costs.

At Rooms Athens, we get it.

Finding a place to live in a new country can be hard enough, but worrying about hidden fees?

That’s just unnecessary!

So, let’s talk about something important—transparent pricing.

If you’re looking for a place to live that won’t screw you over with unexpected charges, read on.

We’ll break down exactly how we make sure you know what you're paying for, so you can enjoy your Erasmus adventure without the money stress.

What You See Is What You Pay

You’ve probably heard horror stories of students getting stuck with sneaky fees, deposits they’ll never see again, or ‘service charges’ that magically appear after the contract is signed.

Not here.

At Rooms Athens, we take pride in our no-BS pricing. The number you see when you book is the number you’re paying. Period.

Our rents are laid out clearly, and there are no "admin fees" or "booking charges" waiting to blindside you after you’ve made your choice.

Plus, you’ll get an official lease, which is fully accepted by Greek authorities.

That means your rent covers all the basics you need to legally stay and thrive in Athens—whether it’s applying for a visa, getting a bank account, or anything else.

All-Inclusive… Almost

Now, let’s talk about utilities because that’s where many places will get you. You see a low monthly rent, but once you add in utilities, you’re suddenly spending way more than expected.

Here’s the deal at Rooms Athens: utilities are included in your rent.

That means:

• Water: covered.

• Internet: covered.

• General maintenance: covered.

But what about electricity?

It’s included, too—up to a reasonable fixed amount.

If you go above that, no sweat—we split the overage equally among all the tenants.

This way, everyone chips in fairly, and there’s no huge surprise bill waiting for you at the end of the month.

Pro Tip: Want to avoid those overage charges? Keep an eye on your usage!

It’s easy to manage your costs if you’re mindful of turning off lights and not overusing appliances.

Maintenance at No Extra Cost

Imagine this: You’ve settled into your apartment, and one day, the sink starts leaking. What now?

In most places, you’d be scrambling to figure out who to call, how much it’ll cost, and whether it’s even covered.

At Rooms Athens, there’s no need to panic.

We’ve got a dedicated team on call for any maintenance needs—at no extra cost to you.

That’s right; repairs and fixes are included in your rent unless, of course, you cause the damage.

For example, if your air conditioner suddenly stops working, we’ll handle it.

But if you decide to use your chair as a ladder and break a window in the process, well… that one’s on you.

We believe in keeping things fair.

This is why regular maintenance is covered, and damage caused by tenants isn’t. Simple, right?

No Sudden Rent Hikes

Another thing you’ll never experience with us?

A sudden rent increase out of the blue.

Some landlords love to pull that trick, bumping up the rent halfway through your stay. Not us.

We lock in your rent from day one.

So, what you agree to at the start is what you pay throughout your stay, no surprises along the way.

This gives you peace of mind and helps you budget better so you can focus on enjoying your Erasmus experience... instead of worrying about escalating costs.

Why Transparency Matters

Why are we so focused on transparency?

Because we know how stressful it can be to deal with housing abroad.

You’re already dealing with a new city, friends, and classes.

The last thing you need is a landlord throwing hidden fees and costs your way.

Our mission is simple: we want to make your stay in Athens as stress-free as possible.

When you trust us with your accommodation, we make sure the price is clear and the service is top-notch. No games, no hidden fees, no stress.

A Real Example: How It Works in Practice

Let’s break this down with an example.

Say you and four other Erasmus students are renting a large co-living apartment.

Your monthly rent is €400, and that covers your room, water, internet, and basic maintenance.

You also get €80 in electricity included.

If you all use less than that, great—no extra costs.

But if you run the AC nonstop and end up using €100, the extra €20 is split among everyone, so you’d only pay €4 more.

Not bad, right?

And the best part?

You knew about this upfront, so there’s no surprise bill dropping in your inbox.

How We Back It Up

We don’t just talk about transparency.

We’ve built our entire business on it.

Our app is designed to give you 24/7 access to everything you need.

Whether that’s managing your rent payments, requesting maintenance, or getting help with anything else related to your stay.

You’ll have the full breakdown of what you’re paying, what’s included, and what (if anything) might cost extra—before you even move in. That’s our promise.
