Kumsal & Murat
We live in the same apartment in our own designated area together with our two lovely cats and our baby, which allows us to quickly assist you whenever you may need anything during your stay.

Your Hosts
Hello, We Are Kumsal & Murat!
As a couple who have embraced Athens as our home for many years, we truly enjoy hosting guests from all around the world. Whether we are welcoming travelers in our seaside home in Palaio Faliro or sharing a comfortable room in this peaceful apartment in the heart of Ilisia where you are now, we know that the key to a perfect stay is feeling comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for.
For us, hosting is not just about offering a room — it’s about sharing a real experience. Living as expats in Athens has given us a unique perspective: we still see the magic of the city through a traveler’s eyes, while experiencing it with the knowledge of locals. From the best beaches of the Athens Riviera to hidden gems in the historic center, we love sharing our favorite undiscovered spots.
In this home, we live in our own private area together with our two lovely cats. We are committed to making your stay enjoyable and stress-free. While always respecting your privacy at the highest level, we are just a door away for a friendly chat, local recommendations, or any help you may need. We have even prepared custom local guides covering everything from food and dining to history, to help you plan your perfect Athens getaway.
We look forward to hosting you in Athens and helping you feel truly “local” in this wonderful city!

About the Space
We started sharing our apartment with guests after a full renovation in 2022. We live in the same apartment in our own designated area together with our two lovely cats, which allows us to quickly assist you whenever you may need anything during your stay. At the same time, we fully understand your need for privacy and make sure you have your own space.
We offer two guest rooms in the apartment we live in. The shared bathroom is used with a maximum of two guests who may be staying in the other guest room. If there are no other guests during your stay, the bathroom will be entirely for your private use.
The balcony area that belongs to your room is separated from the neighboring room’s space with plants, providing a sense of privacy.
The room is equipped with everything you may need during your stay, including plates and cutlery, a mini fridge, fast internet connection, towels, and a hair dryer.
Since the bathroom is shared, we check and clean it daily. We also take care of your used dishes and provide clean ones whenever needed. For stays close to a week or longer, we offer linen and towel changes for your comfort.
Whether you want to easily reach Athens’ vibrant and exciting spots day or night, relax on the balcony after a long day, or spend some quiet time in your room while taking care of your tasks, we believe your stay will meet all your expectations.

From Our Guests
The host was very thoughtful and kind. She shared great local food recommendations and kept the apartment spotlessly clean. She also helped us store our luggage, which made our trip much more convenient. Communication was always timely and polite. I highly recommend this place!

The room was perfect literally. The owner Kumsal was extremely helpful from the very first moment. It would be a great choice for those who want to have a quiet stay with easy transport to tourist areas.

Very central and - given the central location - relatively quiet. The balcony towards the back is a place to relax from Athens. Very friendly hosts and small, but nice room. All was very clean.

Amazing stay at Kumsal! It was so close to the metro line and so convenient to get to from the airport. The space is exactly what you just need as a solo traveller. It’s safe, convenient, and clean!
