spouse and I stayed here for one night only. we chose Elena's place because it had a private balcony where my husband can smoke. secondly, we were arriving late at night and wanted to be in an area where we can walk around safely to find late night dinner.
The location is great! close to parks, lots of food options, stores, shops, transportation yet generally safe and quiet. I am very very grateful that Elena granted my request for a late check out. Elena and Eduardo responded to my messages.
to get to the apartment you have to have to climb up a narrow, rickety spiral staircase. Good thing our rolling luggage was only carry-on size because if it were bigger, carrying up that staircase would be scary. I would not recommend this place for anyone with physical mobility or balance issues.
the apartment is small. Bring your own toiletries. the room had everything we needed for one day and night. the bed is on the firmer side which we don't mind.
