I stayed at Helena's apartment with my mother for 15 days and it was awesome! Helena is a fantastic host. Very flexible, organized, kind and funny to talk to.
Her apartment is cosy and warm (the automatic heater is a bless), and you can see that everything inside it was dedicatedly picked by her. The art and anthropology books are amazing and we even became friends with the big tiger on the couch. :) Opening the hatch is not a problem at all, it's actually quite fun.
The neighborhood is perfect, with great little shops and restaurants, and very safe to walk at night. It's close enough to the busy part of the city without being in the middle of the whole thing. There are three underground stations and the closest one is a five minute walk, so it's very easy to go around the city. We would definitely stay there again!
Thank you, Helena, for everything, we had a fantastic time!
