This place would be okay if you stay for a night or two, but we did not enjoy the place for an extended stay. We felt like we were in a hostel, as each cooking utensil, dish, glass, etc. had to be pre-washed before using. The kitchen did not feel clean overall. We ran the dehumidifier almost the entire time, which helped remove the damp basement feel. The bed was uncomfortable, so we used the futon the entire time. On the other hand, the neighbourhood was nice and quiet, and Vlada was very kind when checked in. The artwork in the apartment adds a nice touch.
