I enjoyed my stay at Elena's place. It is in a great location; easy to walk/boat anywhere you might want to go. The view from the deck is wonderful. And, it was nice and quiet, as opposed to the noise at street level.
If you like to cook, you might want to bring supplies with you. The kitchen is sparse; not many cooking implements. The shower that others have mentioned was not a problem for me, but I am under 5'5".
