Would you recommend it?
They didn’t mention anywhere that the flat is located just above the restaurant/bar opened till 3am with pretty loud music so first nights were a bit difficult. Also the kitchen compared to polish standards is a bit off, it doesn’t have enough amenities etc. And the whole place lacks of windows so it’s pretty dark. Windows are just in the rooms. The dining area and kitchen are pitch black without turning on the light any time of the day

What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
COZMO, ekei, dirty blonde on thursdays, rooftop/outdoor parties with @adorath on ig

everything is sooo chilled and easy to pass but i don’t recommend managerial decisions making. Just programming with 90 yo man on the worst computers i’ve ever seen

every uni in greece has free meals for all students. You can go 3 times a day and eat to the fullest
