I was at Eliana's place for less than eight hours but would have loved staying longer. She is obviously a gracious hostess, even getting up to fix me a cup of tea and a delicious piece of cake before the taxi picked me up for the airport at 5:30 a.m. Since I arrived at her apartment around ten the previous night, I cannot say anything about the neighborhood! However, the ambiance of her cozy apartment was very welcoming, as was she.
