This is an exceptional apartment with an exceptional host. Elena is wonderul - warm, helpful and friendly. The apartment is a gem, reflecting her many travels as a geologist. The bed is very comfortable, the water pressure and bath/shower excellent, despite the fact that it is on the top floor, the terrace and its plants an oasis of tranquility. The location was perfect for me. Its close to bars, shops and restaurants, a short walk to a cab rank, and easy to get to the museums and markets.
