We were not able to meet with Elena, but she maintained good communication throughout our stay. She had her friend Sarah greet us and give us the tour. The neighborhood is quiet and the apartment is cozy. The rooms are very small, but the kitchen is fully equipped and the heated towel rack in the bathroom is a nice touch. However, the shower/tub lacks a shower head, so you’ll have to use the shower handset which makes for a less conventional shower experience. The apartment location is ideal; minutes from the Eiffel Tower and lots of public transportation. And you wouldn’t realize how great it is to have supermarket across the street until you’re actually there.
