The apartment is furnished in a somewhat Spartan manner, but all that is needed is there, including a dishwasher and washing machine. The price was on the high side, but it turned out to be a great location, especially for New Years Eve and many important tourist sites. Access to the underground is very easy. The supermarket is one block away and there is a late-night store down the block in the other direction. Water in the shower is plentiful and hot. One downside was a slight smell of dampness in the living room, but opening the windows a crack seemed to help. Overall, it was a very good place and I got a kick out of staying in a formerly-Soviet housing block (which seemed to have been renovated).
