The biggest positive is the location - walking distance to all the key areas of the city and felt pretty safe walking to and from. Also an awesome Gin and Tonic bar downstairs from the flat.

However, after reading all the positive reviews about Pavel and their experiences, we were really looking forward to meeting him. Although he did respond to me every time I emailed him with questions or concerns, we were disappointed by the fact that Pavel himself was not available to meet us upon our arrival or at all. Instead, we were met by his mother who did not speak English, and was unable to really communicate anything about the apartment or give us any local recommendations about anything to do or see in the city.

Also, the apartment is not really suitable for 3 adults -The shower, bathroom and washer are all especially TINY. And the living room was converted into a bedroom, making it a bit awkward to walk thru someone's makeshift bedroom while their sleeping in order to get to the kitchen & bathroom.

Sorry, but this experience just did not meet my expectations.
