Elisa was extremely accommodating and the communications was excellent! Her apartment is a little farther than we would have liked, as we needed to take the subway (very easy and close) anytime we wanted to go somewhere. She mentioned that there is street parking, however we could only find a spot 4 streets down. Check in is very simple and her instructions are very good and detailed. The apartment is on the 6th floor, with about 16 steps per floor. Definitely a hike after walking the city all day. The air conditioning was fantastic, and thank goodness for this as the weather during our stay was very humid! Her bed was very comfortable. Elisa was not in town during our stay, therefore makes it difficult to control the cleanliness of the apartment. Totally not her fault. We had to make our own bed, and the linens put aside for us were not there so we had to find someone else's bag of linens to make our bed. We did not have a blanket, only a top sheet. We received 1 towel per person and 1 facecloth to share for our 4 day stay. No hair towels were left on the shelf. The Wifi did not work in her bedroom (too far from the router). This made it difficult for us to stay in touch with our family back home to check on our children. I wish there had been a television in her room, as there was nothing to do in the bedroom once we got home at night. Especially if there are other guests in the living room, and the Wifi not working. We did not use anything in the kitchen, however many dishes, garbage was left by the other guests (not her fault). The bathroom was very dirty. Towels left on the floor by other guests, shower had mould, and no air circulation. The bathtub would not drain properly therefore water would accumulate in the tub.
We had a great time visiting the city, however would probably not stay at Elisa's again simply because of it being a tad too far from the places we visited, and because of the stairs and cleanliness of the bathroom etc.
Thank you for being so wonderful and communicative:)
