Elena's apartment was beyond expectations, and was better than in the pictures. The view is perfect, overlooking the canal on one end and over rooftops on the other. Great to catch morning sun or sunset. For those with mobility issues, as previously mentioned, there are a lot of stairs, both to get to the apartment (~4/5 stories) and then up to the lofted bedroom, but this was a great exercise for me. The kitchen was well equipped if you wanted to have a night in. Tons of great bars and restaurants in walking distance and close to the metro and tram. It does get quite loud at night because of all the bars/garbage trucks but this didn't bother me as I can sleep well. Might want to bring earplugs otherwise.
