The place is and old store which has been turned into an apartment but the windows on the ground floor looking out (living room and bedroom) do not open. The only way to get some air in the apartment is through a door that is in the bathroom and leads to a small back yard. The basement has no windows at all. So it was OK for December when we went, even though at times I did feel like I was not getting enough air and the atmosphere in the house was stuffy, but I would not recommend it for the summer as it has no a/c either. No central heating for that matter too. But there were 5-6 electric radiators that we could move around and warm the place up. After we turned them all on it was warm enough. The staircase to the basement is very steep so it's definitely not recommended for families with small children. Also it didn't look very clean, the walls had stains. Positives: spacious enough for 5-6 people, absolutely amazing location, bus and metro stations very close, quite road!
