I have mixed feelings about our stay in the apartment. Firstly, despite not being in the centre of the city, it is very conveniently placed in regards to the Metro. It was relatively quiet, except for some noise outside when in the second bedroom, probably because it is in the basement. We found the apartment very hot and had to have the windows open all day and night - there seemed no way to be able to control the temperature. The second bedroom is in desperate need of a new mattress and it wouldn't hurt to replace the shower curtain. Water pressure was not so good, but that may not be the fault of the owner. There were, however, adequate utensils and crockery in the kitchen and several restaurants in the vicinity.
