We stayed for a month at Svetlana's place and were more than pleased with our visit. The apartment is exactly as advertised, two comfortable bedrooms--a nice tv room, and of course kitchen and patio. There's a bird sanctuary and park nearby, as well as buses or a thirty minute walk to metro. Great place to anchor you for exploring the city (we recommend getting the bikes to peddle around as well, can find them up along the river or canal). Hope you enjoy as we did.
