Alper and Katya were really great hosts. They provided so much information in their listing that really helped us to know exactly what to expect about the apartment, the location, the amenities, etc. They were extremely detailed not only in their listing, but also with check-in/out instructions, etc. They also were so great about checking in with us during our stay to make sure we were doing OK, and they responded to any needs we had (which were very minor). The apartment is simple and utilitarian, just as they described. It's nothing fancy, but it IS completely comfortable and safe, and it's a GREAT location in terms the metro. The price was also great. I think they are excellent hosts, and I highly recommend them.
