Rules

🍽️ About Food
We love sharing meals as part of cultural exchange — you're always welcome to join us when we cook!
Irini is vegetarian so we don't cook meat often.

You’ll have your own food box (in and out of the fridge) with basic ingredients:

Breakfast: bread, margarine, jam
Meals: rice, pasta, potatoes, legumes for you to cook

🛏️ Where You Sleep
You’ll have a space to rest (either in a room or shared living area), and we kindly ask that you keep it tidy. Please don’t leave clothes or items scattered on tables or the floor — especially Irini doesn’t like that! 🙈💬
