Staying with Fotini was like staying with a family member. We arrived tired after a week of travel and she welcomed us into her apartment with a home-cooked meal and cake. Yes, the room was very beautiful (and meticulously clean) with a private balcony and reasonable walking distance to the heart of Athens. But the best part of staying with Fotini was being able to experience a side of Greek culture and hospitality that many tourists never get to see.
