Elena was very helpful from the very beginning. Minutes after I made reservations at her place and getting a flight, she had already sent very concise instructions on how to get to her place from the airport. The living space was very nice, clean, and peaceful. I loved having a large bedroom that had AC which helped me recover from a heat rash. And having my own bathroom was awesome. Everything was in walking distance to include access to the Metro and bus line. I also enjoyed learning about other cultures thru her eyes.
