We had a great time at Elena's place. The communication was super easy and quick and the place looks exactly like it does on the pictures. The neighborhood is very conveniently located . Because we have a relative large dog we visited almost everything by foot.
But close to the apartment there is a Metro stations and several bus station so it is very easy to get around with public transport.
There are lots of nice bars and restaurants at walking distance so you don't need to use public transport a lot.
Also the apartment is big , well equipped with a comfy bed.
Would absolutely recommend to stay there!
Thank you Elena for having us and accepted our dog as well, it's not easy to find hosts that accept big dogs, and we will gladly return if we have the occasion.
P.S.
My wife stole some ideas for your cooking books collections I hope you wont mind ;)
