Needs and animals

1 Cat

I have 1 year old cat! Here name is nixta (nee-k-ta) which means night in greek. She is in full play mode these days - loves to play fetch with her sparkly pompoms, hide and seek with people, and just general curiosity for everything around her. She is a very loving and cuddly girl, so she will follow you everywhere you go and prefers to sleep with you (although if thats not comfortable with you, just close the door)! She is very easy to maintain as she if free feeding right now (just keep her food and water full at all times) and the litter box is scooped daily (i use tofu litter so you can just flush it down the toilet). She is fine to be on the balcony :) although she only usually goes there to use her litter box.

Other than that, I have a few indoor plants that might need watering towards the end of your stay!

Additional information about these dates

I arrive home around 6 am on the 29th, so if need be you can stay till then but you will most likely be woken up etc! Best case scenario would have a sitter leave the evening of the 28th.

House

My apartment is a late mid century building, a classic Athenian build. It is on the second floor with a typical balcony - it gets sunlight all day long and the apartment is very bright in the living room and bedroom! There is a retractable awning if its too much sun and blackout shutters for when you sleep. My place is decorated eclectically with art, plants, and objects from around the world. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is also a washing machine! The bedroom and living room both have A/C units and the couch pulls out into a double bed :)

Tourism and Leisure

The apartment is right in the heart of the Kypseli neighbourhood, which is bustling with families, artists, and young folks. There are several different trendy cafes/restaurants/bars all within a few minutes walk, but also classic Athenian establishments (a perfect blend of old and new). Being mostly a residential area, it is quieter at night so sleeping is not an issue! I have a supermarket across the street making groceries very accessible and on Thursdays there is a great street farmers market.

About a 10 minute walk away is a large park, great for taking a stroll or going for a run! On the other side of the park, about a 30 minute walk, is the infamous neighbourhood of Exarcheia (the best bars and restaurants in the city - a great nightlife hub). You can get to the centre of Athens on foot in 45 minutes (Acropolis etc.) or of course use transit system! There are plenty of busses routes from Kypseli to all over Athens, and there are different metro stops about a 15-20 minute walk from the apartment.
