Zoia's apartment is in a great location., and her friend who met us was extremely friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we were disappointed with the standard of the apartment. The towels were threadbare and stained. The bedsheet had holes in it. The kitchen was under-equipped (no frying pan, breadknife and other basic needs). The remotes for the aircon and Tv didn't work - we had to go out and buy batteries, and then only some worked). There is also a resident in the apartment below who plays loud music all day and late into the night - which is not Zoia's fault, of course. This is the first time in many trips I've written a negative review, but this apartment simply did not meet the expected standard.
