We stayed here for a 4 night stay over New Years - great location and close to most touristy areas. The room was spacious and clean. Irina's housemate Greg was very kind and welcoming and helped us with any questions we had about the city. We didn't meet Irina. Wifi was unstable with weak connection but didn't bother us too much as we didn't spend that much time in the room.
Word of advice: don't drive / have a car in the city! We drove down from Oregon, but do not recommend it as there is literally no parking available and had to pay a lot of money to park our car when we found a place!
