The apartment was a few minute walk from a metro and there were 2 supermarkets near by. We felt the shower cubicle was difficult to get in and out of as it had a very narrow door and the shower head did not fit into the bracket. There was a constant smell of urine in the bathrooms and the heaters in the bedrooms did not work. This is a very basic appartment ideal for a couple of days. The apartment block was clean and there was a lift.
