I had a great stay at Elana's place. The location is excellent, just a few blocks from a great restaurant and bar area, and a 20 min walk to the main sites. There were many people walking around the area at all times, and I felt safe walking at night as a woman traveling alone. Of course the busy area means some noise, but I closed the windows and turned on a fan and had no issues. Elena had many thoughtful touches, like several plug adapters and feminine products. The room was clean, and I found the bed more comfortable than I expected from the pictures. It was quite hot in the apartment when I stayed, but Elena was in process of installing an air conditioning unit, so it should be even more comfortable for future guests!
