Elena's place is in a beautiful building in a peaceful area 15 minutes walking distance from the historic center. Walking along the river towards the historic center is lovely, and but there are other great cultural spots on the same side of the river that you can explore even without crossing the bridges. Her recommendations were so special, like the ancient pharmacy that has been creating special scents for ages (it's spectacular and definitely worth a visit.) The space itself is clean and just as the photos show with a beautiful terrace that can be enjoyed just one flight up. Above all, Elena is unwaveringly kind, responsive, helpful, and thorough in making sure her guests are comfortable and enjoying themselves. Would definitely return and stay. -Sharon
