A good value for the prime location. Building acoustics and street surroundings make for a "city-sounds" experience. However, disrespectful neighbors partying late into the night were frustrating, especially when both neighbors and Vadim ignored us when we voiced concerns. Convenient food options (bakery and mini markets) just across the street but I wouldn't use any cooking items in the kitchen. Plates/glasses were fine. The apartment could use some TLC (including better mattresses) for a better overall experience but great place to just use as home base if you're a heavy sleeper and are out most of the time anyway.
