We were met by Kseniya's mother as she was abroad. However, communication was very easy and there was nothing to worry about. Her mother was very warm and friendly and showed us about and tried to tell us what we needed to know.

The studio apartment is pretty much as shown in the picture - it is large, comfortable and very clean. The bed was comfortable. The heating was excellent - important as we visited in February. There is plenty of cupboard space, facilities for laundry, a pleasant balcony (though it was much too cold for us to use and the view is not the best) and it's in a very safe apartment building.

The location is a little way from the centre, though it is possible to walk if you are really keen. However, it is very convenient for public transport and it's possible to go almost anywhere you want to go within 20 minutes.

We enjoyed our stay very much.
