Denis' place was exactly as described and pictured. A little off the beaten path but close enough to metro and buses to get you to where you need to go. Never felt unsafe in the neighbourhood. As other reviews have said, the windows are single pane, as a result it can be quite noisy. We were so tired by the end of our long sightseeing days it didn't bother us much, but if you are a light sleeper I would recommend ear plugs. We didn't have time to do any cooking while there but has all the amenities one would need to do so. We had a great time and the apartment met our expectations and slept the 3 of us comfortably. Thanks!
