The apartment was a comfortable stay and was immaculate in terms of cleanliness thanks to Yuriy's wife. It was very evident that as their ex-home, Yuriy and his wife care about the apartment and its guests and do their very best to maintain it at a very good standard, be it the cleanliness or the décor, and they also kindly leave provisions. A good job has been done to maximise the potential of the flat, though we felt some small additional steps would be worthwhile. The bedroom is nicely furnished with a comfortable bed. We did not find the shower very usable as it is a shower hose resting on the bath taps (fixing to the wall with a shower curtain would be so much better) and the lounge could really do with curtains that go around the corners of the bay (only a small area but our young daughters felt less safe with the window partially uncovered and the morning light woke them). Not Yuriy's fault at all, but we were affected by a lot of noise from a baby crying in a neighbouring flat for long periods one night, and the mainline station was closed on Sunday due to maintenance works so we had a 20 mins walk to the underground, which we had not anticipated.
