Elena and Philip have a lovely, well-appointed apartment and are charming and helpful hosts. They were very helpful with my arrival time and always accommodating with any request or need I had, and they can offer a plethora of useful advice and recommendations. They are wonderful and erudite conversationalists as well, so a great pleasure to share a coffee with. Their neighborhood is lively and a pleasant 20 minute walk from downtown. I highly recommend staying with them.
