Nina is an outstanding hostess. She goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and help you in any way she possibly can. The place: fantastic location, very centrally located, easy access to public transportation, great neighborhood restaurants. In addition, as in other former soviet bloc countries, the common areas of the building look like you're in a building slated for demolition. Do not let that fool you. Nina has done a superb job of remodeling her apartment. We just spent three weeks in the baltics, staying at furnished apartments along the way. Nina's wins hands down despite stiff competition in Copenhagen, Tallinn and Helsinki. So no qualms about recommending this place. Keep up the good work Nina!
