We did not meet Thomas, as due to transport issues, our arrival time was difficult to project. Thomas made arrangements for us collect the keys from a nearby restaurant and even turned the heat on in the apartment for us as the weather was near freezing. Thomas communicates well and in a timely manner.

The apartment is just as it appears in the photographs and is quite spacious and well insulated from the cold and noise. It seems to have been recently remodeled and is well appointed and nicely decorated. The appliances and furnishings are of good quality and there is an excellent "operations manual" for the apartment with clear instructions for the use of all it's appliances, TV, WiFi, Heating, etc.

The kitchen is good and has the necessary cookware, utensils, crockery and glassware to prepare and serve simple meals.

The bathroom is modern, has a shower stall and equipped with good fixtures and fittings. There is a separate toilet with hand-basin. Bath linen is adequate.

The bed is comfortable and the linens are of good quality. There is adequate storage space.

There is some street noise late at night, apparently when certain bars close. However, the windows are good and insulate the apartment from most of the noise. The weather was very cold during our stay, but we found the apartment to be very snug and warm with good heating.

The apartment is situated very close to the Metro (subway) and Bus System and transportation is easy and convenient. There are many "must see" tourist attractions within easy walking distance, as are Supermarkets, good Restaurants and even a Department Store.
