This is a bit more like a hostel than a guesthouse. It is clean and neat and within easy walking distance to a nice coffee shop and metro. I never met Vera but her son gave me a very warm welcome. My room was lovely and my bed comfortable. If you are a light sleeper, you may struggle to sleep as the walls are very thin and the wooden floors are quite squeaky so you can hear other guests talking in their rooms and doors opening and closing and people moving around the space. The other thing you should know is that the hot water situation isn't great in the showers - water was either cold or barely lukewarm. Breakfast is basic (cereal, milk, bread, cheese, jam) but does the job and is included in the price. However, ingredients ran out twice during my four night (milk and cheese) stay so you have to be flexible and eat what is there rather than what you really wanted (toast with jam instead of say, cereal). If you are a woman traveling on your own, you may not want to arrive as late as I did in the evening (around 8:30pm). I felt quite uncomfortable looking at directions on my phone while a lot of men stood around outside bars and on street corners drinking. The area is safe but I did feel quite vulnerable. I had a good stay but for the purpose of a transparent review I felt the need to note the above.
