Valery's place was a pleasant stay but a bit further outside of the city than I had wanted. It's a good 45 minute walk each way, and since I'm also working during the day, it's hard to get in and back on my free time.
The bed is comfortable, the apartment is clean, and it has a washer. There was an incident where when I took my first shower, the water got cold after two minutes and wouldn't heat again. I called Valery and he contacted Rosa to come and change out the fuel tank. He said she'd be ten minutes but I had to wait over an hour, which really gave a late start to my day.
Valery himself was very responsive but Rosa barely speaks any English so hopefully you don't have any questions when you're being checked in. Overall decent place for the lower price, but I'll choose somewhere more in the center next time!
