The location of this apartment is excellent and Nikita is a friendly and cooperative host. Unfortunately there are a couple of things that detract from this apartment that are beyond his control. The place is on a busy cobblestone street and as a result is very noisy when cars go by even late into the night. the second thing that we were uncomfortable with is the toilet facilities. Nikita has done his part by installing new toilet and shower in the suite but it is an old building and apparently the pipes are too small to handle any amount of paper. Used toilet paper must be deposited in a small waste paper basket near the sink instead of flushing it down the toilet.
