Elena’s place is a good base for exploring the west coast of the Coromandel. It is in an established neighborhood up on a hill with nice, breezy views. The unit is underneath their house, so if you are sensitive to noise, you can hear the family upstairs. But it is pretty quiet after 9:30 pm or so. The deck outside the apt is peaceful place to sit and chill. The kitchen is adequately stocked to make almost any meal, and the freezer and fridge combo was a plus. Elena is a wealth of information for travel tips and places to visit, as well as being a lovely person to chat with.
