Elena's place is such a gem! Its location is unreal. You are so close to the beach, canals, restaurants, Abbot Kinney, and even Santa Monica. We were able to walk around everywhere we wanted. We also had a car, which fit perfectly in the garage. The actual apartment is so clean and nice. We loved it! We didn't need any AC, and thought the bed was super comfortable. We also were not bothered by noises at all. It was a wonderful stay and we would go back to the same place without thinking twice!
