Varvara was very welcoming and even gave us fresh apples, clementines, and croissants to greet us! My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights and had a wonderful time! The apartment was so cute, and I loved the modern design. It was a 5 minute walk to the Metro, and was close to many cute restaurants and cafes including Artist Affame coffee shop, Mamie Clafoutie bakery, and L'Gros Luxe restaurant (a 2 minute walk!). It was freezing during our trip, but the heaters in the bedroom and the electric fireplace in the living room kept up more than toasty. The only thing wrong is that the couch seems to have lost its springs, but other than that, the apartment was really cute and cozy! :) We would definitely stay here again!
