It was proving really difficult to find somewhere to stay during marathon weekend as everyone was putting their prices up by a lot or not available for their normal prices. Elena however accepted and was available for her normal prices as soon as I booked. I'm so glad that she did. It was a great experience. The place was easy to find and I managed to meet Elena on arrival. She had given me good tips before ill travelled tonic was assured of what to do when I got there, but was nice to see her. She left some good tips for my stay, gave me good space but was always there if i needed her. She even invited me to a fundraising event on my first night in case I was bored! The place itself was great with everything i needed and most importantly had a microwave for my porridge (oatmeal) on race morning! Even my friends were jealous just from the pictures I posted online showing how nice it looked. It was also close to a bus line to get into downtown or a 20 minute walk away from other areas. The area was quiet but had everything I needed close by including some great food places and nice green spaces. So overall a wonderful host and a wonderful experience. I will definitely try and stay here again should I come back to conquer the marathon.
