We were the first guests in this apartment, which had its pros and cons.
The pros: location was fantastic. At our doorstep were great restaurants, shops, mini-grocery stores and quick access to metro. The building / apartment is recently renovated - clean, simple design - it pretty much matches the photos. The kitchen was well equipped. The apartment was quiet. Beds were comfortable and the apartment surprisingly had a lot of storage.
The cons: most of this list is related to the 'newness' of the apartment. Alexis informed us when we checked in that the TV and stove were not yet hooked up - we were fine with the tv, but it would have been nice to have access to a stove. We ended up microwaving our breakfasts and tea. The biggest issue we had was with the hot water. When it was available - the shower was great. The first night my friend had a shower and it was fine. In the morning, when I wanted to shower, the hot water was a trickle and I had to basically take a cold shower. We let Alexis know and he sent someone to look at it, but it didn't get resolved. What I suspect was happening was that if anyone else in the building was using the hot water, it would make the hot water in the apartment into a trickle. We just had to keep checking the strength of the hot water to figure out when we could shower. The other item, was a constant humming noise in the second floor bedroom. I couldn't figure out the source of the noise, but I think it has something to do with some machinery on the roof. I'm a deep sleeper so I was fine with this, but I think it could bother some people. The second floor is a loft bedroom - the ceiling is quite low and I banged my head a couple of times when I got up too quickly.
With all this said, I would stay here again - I really enjoyed the location and the space was great for my friend and I for a girlfriend's weekend.
