This apartment is so cute. The kitchen is new and has everything you need. It is roomy and cozy. It had lots of hot water and the Wifi always worked with no issues. We didn't use the balcony because of the weather, but the cute spiral staircase led to a little spot that may be have been nice on a sunny day.
Getting here from the bus depot was a bit of a challenge. We took the subway at the hosts' direction that ended up close to where the apartment was which was nice. Once we got to the right street, we were at a locked gate, and then another locked door to just get to the staircase which then led to the locked apartment. The host and his wife were waiting for us to let us in the second locked gate. I'm sure they would have been available to let us in the first one, but we had no internet so they had no way of contact us so it wasn't their fault.
The hosts were so nice. They were friendly and helpful and sent me several links to restaurants that I had asked about. They even had warm, fresh local pizza waiting for us when we arrived. The fridge had some basics (milk etc) which was very appreciated. Their communication was awesome, and I don't think could have been nicer people.
This is not a sunny, open hotel. It is in the midst of a middle class apartment complex and we found this different than what we were used to. That being said, we had no issues with safety or anything. It is noisy as the neighbors are all on top of each other. Of course, this was nothing the hosts could do anything about.
A cute, home-like apartment with great hosts.
