We enjoyed staying at Irina's place.The room and bathroom was clean and comfortable. The apartment is well decorated with very good taste. The kitchen is very practical as well for those who like to cook their own food :) Despite being a bit 'remote' from the main attractions and districts, the location of the apartment is quite convenient. There is very easy access to the subway, supermarkets, banks, internet café etc (which Irina's family has indicated to us). And it can be as well the opportunity to discover new and less turistic places (we found a very nice and traditional café/confiteria on the corner of the street). Overall a very comfy and charming option.
