    WHAT IS OFFERED

    ACCOMMODATION

    OUR HOME

    A loft in a very safe area in Athens, Greece near the center of Athens, five minutes with metro .
    It is in the fifth floor with an elevator.
    It has two rooms with a sliding door . There is not privacy as in the one room is the kitchen and the other the wc (private) and the entrance of the house, though there is respect .
    It has not a balcony and for this reason is important our dogs to have at least two walks in the day though there are big windows
    It has A/C in the one room and it works perfectly , a heating system for the Winter also in the other
    It has hot water in just fifteen minutes (no more is going to burn :P)
    The one room has a couch that becomes also a bed (the room in the entrance) and the other has two beds (that is in the kitchen)

    FOOD - SNACKS OFFERED

    Food is NOT covered as the costs for so many peoples are huge . Though there will be snacks and a few things offered if we are at home. Please appreciate that the salaries in Greece are too low !

    ATTENTION - WE ARE SMOKERS

    If you don't like or cannot stand smoke please don't send requests. When Lia is not traveling with Dehnia is at home and is a heavy smoker so be aware of that !!

    KEY OF THE HOUSE GIVEN

    One pair of key will be given to you so please keep it like treasure. We want you to feel free though we need responsible human beings. You will need to be very careful as the cost for a new one or if something happen will be on you .



    Our dear beautiful souls from all over the world 💕.

    We are Dehnia (almost 44) and Lia (almost 55), best friends like family .

    Dehnia is a Digital Nomad and Lia is a writer and retired journalist.

    We need workawayers with an open heart with good intentions not just people who travel for free.

    We search help for :

    Our two dogs Choco (the labrador) 9 years old and Chichi (the chiouaoua) 2 1/2 years old
    Our two canaries Forest and Snow that are waiting for their baby
    Our loft we are staying , a few things like cleaning and maintenance also in curtains and things like those.

    We will host from one to four or five workawayers when we are not in the house.
    We are smokers so we accept workawayers that don't have problem with the smoke

    Most of the time we are travelling or Lia will stay at the house as Dehnia travelling as a Digital Nomad .

    If we are not at home you will stay with other workawayers so for this reason we need you to be open to stay with other people

    No Drugs or Parties allowed please respect the place as it is yours .

    Dehnia has hosted more than 600 couchsurfers in the past so we know how it is to share .

  • Help

    Help

    Help with our two dogs , canaries, cleaning and organizing the house as we moved a while ago. If you are more than two maybe you don't even need to do things for two hours the day and you could be relaxed all day long just relaxing. Our dogs had a positive training , no playing with things in their mouth like pulling and getting them angry. Only positive attitude and warm hugs. Chichi even is only 1,2 kgr is a chiouaoua and need her time to approach you . She is the cutest soul. Both of them are like princesses in the house. They are sleeping in our beds and are the managers of the house. When we are going them out for walk we never pass the road. Around the house there are two pedestrian roads with almost none car or motorcycle and we and you only walk them there around . Never, ever pass any road while walking them. Also always checking not to eat something from the road especially for Chichi is very dangerous. You will never ever give them any food or leave strange small things around the house as Chichi can eat them.
