Pros:
- Roman was a excellent and communicative guest
- The place is very clean and spacious
- right across a super market
- location is only about 8 minute walk or so to the main train station
- quiet neighborhood
Cons:
- toilet across the hall, outside of the apartment was a bit unexpected
-- I should note, although it looks like it hasn't been redone in a very long time, the toilet is new and clean. although at first I was a bit taken aback, the experience wasn't as bad as i expected. although going out there in the middle of the night was a bit of a pain. it is just steps away from the apartment door, and the toilet is private. there is a shower and sink within the apartment, not in this "toilet room".
- the shower is very very tight. i knocked my elbow into the shower controls a couple times and cranked it to cold. and because it's such a tight space, i had no where to run. it wasn't bad once i got used to it. however, i would advise that because of this, you should be aware if you have a larger frame. as comparison, i'm 5"7, 155lbs, and found it manageable.
I would recommend staying at Roman's place. He was a great host. I think having some expectations around the place is good to have, and you will be very happy. although my Cons list is longer than the Pros, I did still very much enjoy my stay here.
