Overall this is an ok place but not really a fantastic apartment as the pictures may lead you to believe. At first, we were very underwhelmed when first seeing the apartment and comparing with the impression we had from the pictures.
It's more of a nitpicky thing but for the price, we expected the place to be maintained a bit better. For example, there are screw holes in the wall, various stains, broken towel rack, broken towel hooks on the door. The pictures are certainly a bit miss-leading.
Pros:
Ground floor, easy to find, safe neighborhood, very close to the metro, very close stores and restaurants.
Cons:
*You have almost no space to dry clothes if you wash them. (There is a laundry just down the street, but they were closed while we were there).
*You can hear almost all the noises from the neighbors in the apartment. If you are a light sleeper the neighbors walking down the stairs or doing laundry will wake you up.
*If you are a big guy like me, the shower is a bit small and challenging.
*The photos are a bit miss-leading and the value isn't really here. The place isn't as nice as it appears to be in the pictures.
*Yas is a good host, however, it always takes her hours to reply to messages.
Tips:
*There are shutters on the windows and you can actually close them.
*Buy the pack of metro tickets, because you will be using them every time you leave the apartment to get into downtown.
