This was a very nice apartment. It had a very retro feel, just as described. It was well maintained, clean and comfortable. The building has an elevator, so it is not a problem with the luggage. There was some heavy construction going on with the building across the street that started at 6:50 every day and was rather loud. But it was always finished by the time we came back in the evening. You can check with the host as it may no longer be there when you wish to book. It was not really a problem for us.

We were greeted by Irina - she was really great! She showed us everything in the apartment and was really fun to talk with. We did not meet Roman as he was on vacation too. But he was very easy to reach and provided a lot of information. He responded quickly from the first inquiry and even followed up near the end of our stay, and even after we returned to ask how things were.

The location is very convenient to walk to the City Center and all of the major tourist sites. We walked many places and also took the metro a few times. There are two different metro stops within a few minutes walk. We also rode the Red Bus which stopped about three blocks away. I hope to meet Roman next time as we would definitely stay here again.
