Yulia is a kind and helpful host. She took us in with a last minute reservation, and was very kind in giving us information about the city. By the end of the night our plans changed and she even let us stay an extra night. The only issue we had was that her apartment is 5 flights of stairs up and there is no elevator in the building. So after a tiresome day of walking around the city, it was hard for my parents to walk up all the stairs.
