Elena was a great host. Picked us up from the bus terminal as, after all, the city is truly a labyrinth! She gave us great local tips and a map. The place is in a lovely local quiet area, near the university so local food is not at tourist prices! (5euro for two coffees and two croissants rather than 15euro in the main areas). Only suggestion is shut the windows at night - mosquitoes will join you otherwise!
