26 year old woman, studying art, looking for accommodation in Athens

I'm a outgoing woman who is studying art for 5 years now. I'm going on Eramus in Athens, the semester starts mid october but I would like to come in the beginning of the month. I'm not sure jet if I stay for 5 or 10 months, it depends on how great a time I have in Athens. I have been living in a very international envoiment the last 5 years and I know a lot of people. I already have some Greek friends and would love to live with locals. I have lived in shared flats the last 3 years and I prefere that then living alone. It's nice to have someone to have coffee with in the morning. But I also don't mind living alone since friends and family said they would like to come visit and stay with me. Anyway Im looking forward to hear from you.
