I stayed at Helena's apartment for 6 1/2 weeks in December and January, and my wife spent 2 1/2 weeks over the holidays. Helena's apartment is large and well-located to the Metro, grocery stores, and good restaurants. It has a balcony with a city view, and the bathroom is large and has excellent water pressure. The kitchen is well-equipped, including a large refrigerator and modern stove (with oven!). We were thankful for the washing machine, though the dryer mentioned in the apartment description doesn't exist. The bed was great for me, but a bit too firm for my wife. Unfortunately, when I first arrived there was strong sewer smell and mold on one of the walls. When I contacted Helena, she called in people to address the issues. The apartment was perfect for my purposes and I would rent again in the future.
