We stayed in Elena's place for 3 months and I can assure you that everything is great! It was exactly like in the photos ; bright, colorful and sparkling clean! The kitchen and bathroom have been renovated and they have a modern look and new electrical appliances. Elena lives abroad but she has a very nice friend in the building who will help you immediately with the check-in and any other requests you may have. I would recommend Elena's place both for short and long-term stays.
