This is a review for an overnight stay last August 6th and 7th. Igor was a wonderful host and had been very communicative in making sure all my needs are met. He even offered his apartment parking space, in which I'm so grateful. Igor was also very flexible with check-in time.
Furthermore, he was easy to reach via text messages. Prior to the trip, there are times, I realized texting him close to midnight and I still got a response. In addition, he was always asking if there’s anything that we need, in which I could not think of any because his space (a 2-bedroom apartment) is well-equipped i.e. beddings, towels, toiletries, tea and wine (winner!). His place was clean and very homey, and we even got upgraded to use the big room w/nice amenities. As for safety, since we only did an overnight stay, I cannot say much. Personally, in any given situation and areas, especially if I’m new in the neighborhood, I always exercise prudence and vigilance. Regarding transportation, we had perused Lyft at all times because our intentions was to roam within the city, so Igor's location was not a problem.
In summary, my friend and I had a wonderful POSITIVE experience staying at Igor’s place. Fortunately, we had the whole apartment for ourselves. If your purpose is for overnight or short term/couple days stay and you WOULD NOT MIND having the idea of roommates, then go for it! For some renters who appear to be nit-picky and feel unease with [other] people sharing the space, then I suggest renting the entire apartment during your stay. All things considered, I would absolutely rent his property again [with or without roommates] and if I'm traveling with my family, I would rent it out completely.
Igor, thank you for being a marvelous host!
