Before I booked this place, I read the reviews and Igor responded to one of his previous guests that he would provide the key/card to the elevator so that future guests would not have to climb the spiral stairs to the second floor with all the heavy luggages but this surely did not happen. Previous guest also mentioned about no pots/pans in the apartment and I thought he would provide it for his future guests (I never asked for it, though) but this also did not happen. So, what you will have is exactly what is pictured but what's the point of having a kitchen with stoves if no pots/pans provided? This place also does not have an electric kettle (not that he stated it in the listing, though) so if you expect having a useful kitchen, this is not the place for you, unless the host does something about it later. In terms of "close to metro or public transportation", I would have preferred a 1-3 minutes-walk close to metro, not a 6-10 minutes walk like this place (this is just my own preference). Apart from all this, the place is clean and basic, the Wifi is high speed and Igor seems like a nice host.
