Elxe is a wonderful woman with a beautiful flat which is located very close to a Metro station. She is also very kind and seems to understand when a guest just wants to sit on her terrace and read. It is quite lovely. I confess that I enjoyed "encouraging" the pigeons to go somewhere else by spraying them with a water gun. Elxe makes the best cappuccino. I have not had better before or since her place. ;-D
