Excellent location, close to downtown, across the street from metro station and supermarket, laundry in the building. Basic apartment but had all I needed, good heating/hot water, and I appreciated the shampoo/body wash/etc provided. Effort was made to clean it before I checked in (bathroom needs more renovation love to keep it spotless!)
The area felt pretty safe generally. Like in most big cities, there was some rowdiness due to bars next door, but not a big issue. I would stay here again, good value for money.
