This apartment worked out beautifully for our trip. The host was very accommodating at the check in time and the process went smoothly. The elevator worked beautifully and the location was great for a tourist. We were traveling with my elderly parents and they loved the apartment and the decor. Buses and Metro are within three blocks and worked well. The decor itself my father described as 'tired elegance', the furniture is a bit old but useable. Total of five adults stayed there for 6 days and the apartment was very spacious. The apartment is exactly as pictured. We did have some trouble with a heat / radiator in one bathroom but we were able to work around it. We would definitely stay here again.
