Anatoly was a very good host. He communicated well with us before we arrived and was there to aquaint us with our room when we arrived. He had a list made out that he gives his guests with recommendations on good places to eat. We tried one of his cafés and were so impressed that we ate there two times. Another life saver was that he had a washer and dryer that we could use for our dirty clothes. The only thing that we can say that is not positive is the apartments proximity to the street. His apart is 6' underground and the only air that you have at night is provided by the two windows which are at ankle height on the street, with bars on them. We felt safe, but it got very noisey on the weekend when people left the local bars. Overall, Anatoly made up for the rooms short comings and we would recommend this place to other guests.
