WOW! Ilia's flat could not have been more perfect for us. While he wasn't there physically, his communication was fast and accurate and we had no problems at all throughout our visit (minus one late night fumbling with the lock...so sorry about that!). His mother is absolutely lovely and greeted us after a very long travel day/night, and we instantly felt right at home. While it is a shared apartment, Ilia's part is separate with it's own half bath and spacious living room/office with a long, beautiful terrace. Much larger and more private than expected...this apartment is flooded with light, beautiful high ceilings, nicely designed and very clean. We would have loved to spend more time there, but it happens to be located in the heart of Born with tons of vibrant culture and life, so we were out most of the time. It can be noisey at night, so bring ear plugs, especially if you like to keep the doors open. Definitely coming back soon, hopefully staying at Ilia's! Thank you so much!
