This place was as depicted in the pictures. It is a very simple place without cooking facilities. The microwave had a hole straight through the door so we could not use and the hot water knob was stuck so it was a challenge to regulate the temperature. The place was small and a bit bare bones but it was about a three minute walk to the subway. Very easy to get downtown. The neighbourhood was very busy and had lots of bars and night clubs. This place would be well suited to younger travellers looking for adventure but probably not families with young children. Irina provide a great booklet with neighbourhood tips and, I’m afraid to say, we ate all the lovely chocolates she left us.
