Alexey was easy to communicate with during the booking process and preparing for arrival. Magda met us at the apartment upon arrival and was also very helpful during our stay. We loved the spacious apartment. The pictures represent it accurately. We felt like we were living like a local instead of being a tourist. The kitchen and bathroom have been nicely updated. There are a lot of mirrors, which helped with 3 females getting ready. The elevator was so helpful for my arthritic mother. A good quality hair dryer. We loved the ethnically diverse neighborhood. It has plenty of places to eat close by. The location is not close to a lot of tourists attractions, but this was a plus for us. It was a more authentic experience and it was very quiet at night. There are metro stations close by and we used Uber a lot. I would highly recommend this apartment.
