MaElena was a wonderful host and made us feel very welcome. Before arriving I asked her about jazz clubs in the area near the apartment. She immediately responded with a list of her favorite clubs nearby and some information about the musicians playing during our stay. Our plane arrived sooner than check in time but she allowed us to check in early. MaElena is a very interesting and well read person and we had some wonderful talks. She also helped us with directions, assisted me in obtaining theatre tickets, and was responsive when we had questions about the apartment and neighborhood services. Breakfast was very good and included fruit, cereal, juice, toast and pastry, and wonderful coffee.
