I did not meet Alla but though she was traveling, she was very responsive to my questions. Her daughter Helen was very hospitable and concerned that I had everything I needed. Her breakfast was great! The room is a spacious master bedroom and bath in their condo. It was immaculate with its own ensuite bathroom and shower. It was very quiet and peaceful and I got a good nights rest which was all I needed. The wifi worked fine too. This is a great place to stay if you need something simple, clean and budget friendly! Helen is a very nice person, studying to learn English.
