Private room in a shared apartment in Athens.

Why rent a private room in a flatshare?

There are many reasons to rent a private room in Athens, especially if you're a student.

Cost-effective solution:

Renting a single room in a shared apartment is more affordable than renting an entire apartment.

Rooms can be as little as half the price of an entire apartment.

Utilities:

We built utility bills in the rental price to save you the hassle.

This means that you don't have to worry about finding new utility providers... or having surprise utility bills at the end of each month.

Plus, a fixed housing expense makes it easier to budget for other things like food and transport.

Flexible tenancy:

With rooms Athens, most private rooms have flexible tenancy terms... which means you can stay for one semester or longer if you wish.

Here's what to expect when you book a private room from roomsAthens:

• Airconditioner

• Personal door key

• Double size bed w/orthopedic mattress

• Work desk w/chair & desk lamp

• Full-size mirror

• Good size closet space

• 24/7 Fast WiFi

• Complete set of linens

Most students and young professionals rent a private room in a shared apartment when they first move to Athens.

But at some point, some of them start looking for a studio or one-bedroom apartment.

The reason why is many of them work from home and need more space and privacy than you can get with a shared apartment.

Affordability:

When you have budget concerns and/or have to stay within a specific price range... studios can be more affordable than renting a one-bedroom apartment in the same area.

In some cases, your rent might even be the same (or lower) as what you would pay for a room in a shared apartment.

Location:

If location is important to you, a studio apartment can give you access to the neighborhood of your dreams without having to sacrifice living space or pay more for a larger unit.

We offer a variety of furnished studio apartments in and around Athens. With prices starting from €300... you can be sure to find something fitting your budget requirements.

Every studio apartment we offer has everything needed for a long comfortable stay.

Here's our standard set of features

• Airconditioner

Two+ bedroom apartments

Couples or groups of friends usually prefer one or two-room apartments. This way, you feel comfortable knowing who you share the place with from day one.

At roomsAthens, you can choose apartments starting from one bedroom... to a giant seven-room duplex!

In the past few years, the trend has been to rent as a group of friends.

Not only is that more comfortable but also you can get a much better price when booking the entire place.

So it makes sense to arrange with a couple of friends before you start looking and rent an entire apartment.

Whether you choose a room in a flatshare, studio, or multiple room apartment, roomsAthens will provide a similar comfort level.

Every room we offer has an AC unit, comfy double size bed, good size closet space, mirror, and work desk. Most rooms have balconies. Fast WiFi is available at all times.

Your First Steps in a Shared Student Apartment in Athens

Top tips on moving in (don't screw up #4!)

Moving into your student apartment in Athens is super exciting. But it can also get stressful.

At roomsAthens, we want to make your first steps in a shared student accommodation a smooth ride.

So we compiled practical tips on arriving, moving in, meeting flatmates, laundry... and organizing your stuff. (especially helpful if you're new to the city and/or an Erasmus student).

Arrival & check-in

Tip one: arrival & check-in

During your booking process find out what type of check-in is offered.

If it is a self-check-in, make sure you received and understood all the instructions.

Unless you want to end up on the street with your luggage without being able to get into your accommodation in Athens...

Ask your landlord to provide a photo/ video. It's always helpful.

When your check-in is in person, here are the best steps to take:

• State your arrival details. Don't forget about the time difference when you share your arrival time

• Better yet, share your flight number. This way, it's easier to track and adjust to your actual arrival time.

On your arrival:

Introduce yourself in a friendly manner. If you arrive with a delay, don't forget to apologize. Being polite is always a great idea.

If your flatmates are home, greet them and briefly introduce yourself.

Property inspection

Tip two: Check your student room and apartment

Stay polite but firm if you notice anything different about your room and property. Don't be shy to ask questions!

You should receive a brief tour of the property with a demonstration and explanation.

If you haven't received this info, remember to ask how to operate the water boiler, AC, and appliances.

Usually, there isn't enough time to spot any discrepancies right away. So, instead of rushing out to explore all the city's hot spots... spend the first 24h checking your student flatshare in Athens!

Write down everything damaged, out of order, or missing altogether. Contact your landlord and your booking provider to let them know (if not booked directly).

Once again, be respectful but firm. You should receive what you were promised. It's your right.

If the landlord isn't willing to correct their omissions, arrange your exit. Obviously, you don't want to leave without booking another place.

So, arrange at least a week's stay, so you have time to visit places and make sure it's exactly what you what.

Assuming you find everything to your liking:

The room and apartment are just like in the photos, all appliances are in working condition and all the features as described...

Meet your flatmates

Tip three: Time to get to know your flatmates

The more, the better! Ask about their habits. Talk about yours.

Agree on how each will use the kitchen. Discuss food storage. Set boundaries.

Who likes finding out someone was secretly nibbling on your favorite breakfast without asking you.

Hygiene & cleanliness

Tip four: One of the most critical parts is keeping hygiene standards

It's especially crucial when you live in a shared student apartment.

When you rent student accommodation in Athens, chances are you won't have more than two bathrooms in a property.

That means you might be sharing the bathrooms with two, three, or more flatmates. It's essential you discuss and stick to agreed rules.

Don't use other flatmates' hygiene products; instead, make sure you are fully stocked on your own.

Clean the bathroom after using it. It's very unpleasant to walk into a flooded, filthy bathroom. No one likes it, and you wouldn't like it either.

Don't take too much time when you know everyone is in a hurry to get to school or work. It'll upset your flatmates for sure.

Don't pile up dishes in the kitchen. Create a routine and agree with all flatmates on sticking to it.

The same goes for garbage disposal: take it out DAILY... and save yourself from unwelcome guests like cockroaches.

Laundry is another task you should be as organized as possible. Many student apartments in Athens have a washer in the property.

For example, our properties all have washing machines inside the apartment. It makes our tenants' stay much more comfortable.

But having it and using it right sometimes come at odds. Make sure you know how to operate it.

Create a schedule on when each flatmate uses it. Agree on how you buy and use the detergent.

The clearer you all on such things, the easier this process will be.

Inviting friends over

Tip five: Remember to talk about inviting guests over

Put specific rules in place.

Your flatmates might be working on a paper. They won't appreciate noise coming from your room or living space.

Another super important thing is to know your building rules. ASK your landlord about large gatherings and party policies.

There have been many cases when the building manager calls the police due to excessive noise. In such an instance, you most likely get evicted and lose your deposit as a result.

If you're planning to have friends over for a party, it's good to warn the building manager and the neighbors.

But don't invite the entire university. No one will accept it.

Don't carry over set hours. No need to damage your relationship with the neighbors.

Athens is full of entertainment catering to all budgets, so you can continue partying, choosing one that suits you.

It's a well-known fact- Greeks are party experts. All you need is to party at the right place.

In conclusion:

Your first steps in your student flat in Athens will set you for a fantastic stay... or a struggle. It's up to you to make it the best experience ever.

Be mindful and respectful of others and stick to the building rules.

Agree with your flatmates on the main house chores.

And enjoy to the fullest. Greece is stunning and diverse in its beauty. We're sure you'll have an unforgettable time!

Now, you can take the guesswork out. Save time and money and make sure your landlord works 24/7 for YOU.
