We did not meet Persefoni, but her friend Julia. Julia was very welcoming and helpful in providing restaurant recommendations nearby. Persefoni was super responsive over email/text when we had questions about ferries, how to use the washing machine, etc. Finally, Persefoni's apartment was beautiful and perfect for two people. It was in a neighborhood we would not have explored otherwise in Athens, and it was great fun to dine at local restaurants with other locals.
