The apartment and location were both perfect. Very straightforward, comfortable, quiet, and certainly beats the hipster hotels for nice vibes. Elen provided more than enough in terms of food and amenities. We're in the area several times a year, so we'll try to stay here again.
All parking, both on street and off, is tight in the neighborhood, and Elen's private parking is no different, so I'd suggest not renting a beast size SUV. We had a "mid size" SUV, a Jeep Patriot, which fit fine, but anything bigger would have been challenging.
