We booked Carl's place only a couple hours before our arrival, everything went smooth. The location is great, Spice is 4 minute walk away. Garden is green and available for a little picnic. Carl himself wasn't home at the moment so we got met by friend of his, Nikolai. He only spoke Russian and a little bit of English, but we got through. Place was sparkling clean, bed was VERY comfy, place is really spacious. Only problem that we had was that there wasn't any cold water in the morning, but Nikolai got it fixed as soon as we texted him. Neighborhood is silent, we didn't heard a thing at night. When we checked out everything went through smoothly and fast. Overall great place for that money anf location.
