The apartment is well-located for the old town, bus station and taxis. It was recently renovated. However, it is much smaller than it appears. If you intend to cook meals, you will not have the tools you need. When we left, Elena kindly arranged for a cab for our 4:30am departure. As instructed, we locked the keys in the apartment, but found the exit door to the street locked from the inside. This is a serious fire hazard. After 20 minutes we resorted to ringing other tenants' doorbells, and one kind man came downstairs to let us out.
