Overall, this was a very nice apartment. Small, but cozy. The washer/dryer was broken (error code indicating that the door would not close properly, probably due to the broken handle), but all other amenities were good. There was a portable air conditioner, which was a life saver on the hot hot days. It didn't cool the whole apartment, but it was nice to sit by.
Depending on the direction you arrive from, it is 10-100 steps from the metro exit. Most tourist attractions are just a 20 minute one- or two-train metro ride away. There are three cafés right outside the door, which are easy for meals. There is also a bakery, fruit shop, and small grocery shop across the street.
We had some trouble getting into the apartment. We received no information ahead of time (I'm not sure if an email was marked as spam, or if it just wasn't sent), so we were stuck between the outside and inside doors for about 20 minutes before we were able to contact Rina through Airbnb messaging.
We would recommend the area and this apartment. Make sure you receive entry instructions for both doors before arriving.
