Anatoly was so helpful; he had a map for me and printed out lists of local spots both in the city and in the immediate neighborhood for authentic cuisine. His place is a couple of blocks from the tram line which takes you into the historic part of the city within minutes, if you don't want to walk (and is great for getting back at night). The room is very spacious, and it was great to be able to user the washer and dryer as I was traveling for two weeks with only a carry on.
