In short; an inattentive host, no communication about essentials, but a nice, if cramped, living space.
We contacted Alex and Galina about their apartment and were told it was available, but that it *wouldn't* actually be available until 8:30 pm the first night we requested. Unfortunately, we accepted that offer. We took our time around the city as best we could, and when we finally came around to the apartment we didn't see our host until a hour or so later, when he banged on the window to welcome us and say he'd be around with coffee and amenities later as they had ran out.
We wouldn't see him again for the remainder of our stay.
On our last day there, we received a phone call at noon telling us that checkout was 11 am. We were never told this beforehand. When we said we'd be by in a half an hour to move our car (the bags were already packed) he demanded we somehow be there immediately, because a cleaning lady (we were not warned about) was soon to arrive to prepare for the next round of people coming in. He couldn't let the cleaning woman in himself because he was elsewhere, having not spent a single minute with the property he was renting out. We were literally forced to cut our trip short to accommodate him.
Sadly, we would not recommend this place.
