We had a great stay at Eduard and Maria's apartment this July (2015). Eduard was waiting for us as we arrived to show us around and gave us some good advice for our stay in the city. We really appreciated him waiting as we arrived a little later than we had planned. During the week both Eduard and Maria were contactable for further advice and booked our taxi back to the airport for us. They are a really lovely couple who went out of their way to make us feel welcome, they even left us a nice bottle of wine and some sweets for the children (which went down very well!).
The apartment was just as in the photos, being their former home you can tell love and attention has been put into it, and it was nice to have their ornaments and paintings around. Our two pre-schoolers absolutely loved their room, complete with play kitchen, toys and books and the bunk bed was a big hit, they even slept together on the top bunk a few times. We found the apartment really suitable for us as a family with a buggy, as there was a lift, it felt really safe and with all the toys already there and a few dvd's in English (for young children), they were very happy at home when we were taking a rest from the heat.
All in all we had a brilliant time and would recommend it.
