Elena was a wonderful host. She's quick with her communication and at check-in gave us some really fun recommendations. I'm always grateful for restaurant/neighborhood information from the host.
The apt location is outside of the tourist bustle, but it's easy to get into the city center. We preferred using the metro (about a 10 min walk) instead of the bus for the speed and timeliness, but the bus is right outside her building.
The apartment was exactly as described and is bright and cheerful.
I'd highly recommend staying here if you enjoy spending some free time with the locals.
