Our stay at Tom and his mother's place was pretty comfortable. Thanks to the description of Tom the apartment was very easy to find. It is very close to the center, everywhere is at a walking distance. The room was simple and met our needs, it was spacious and the bed was really comfortable. Tom's mother was also living with us at the same apartment and she was a very lovely lady who in enjoyable to have a chat with. She is a local and was very helpful at answering our every question about the city and made helpful recommendations. The city was quite cold at the time we visited but we often took shelter in the very central and warm room, rested a bit and went out again. We had total privacy in our rooms and although the bathroom and the toilet is shared, it was just like using them at your own home. I think the best part of our stay was the delicious cooking smells that comes from the Tom's mother's kitchen. It made me really feel like staying at my own home.
