My husband and I stayed here between Christmas and New Years, including NYE. It was freezing outside but this apartment was warm and cozy! We were traveling before arriving to this place for a few days, so we took full advantage of the full kitchen. We also enjoyed walking to the metro. Host was communicative. The pros were the speakers and ability to connect your phone to the sound system, convent location, and ability to make a hot cup of tea and simple meal at any time!
