The studio is within walking distance to multiple markets, beaches, and a train station. The laundry room is conveniently located on the same floor. Necessities are provided, which was appreciated. The mattress was softer than I am accustomed to, but comfortable. A fully stocked and functioning kitchen was a relief. There is no proper dining room area, but with so many restaurants to choose from we hardly ever needed one. The two nights it stormed during our stay, the couch and coffee table sufficed for dinner. If you have a sweet tooth it won't take you long to happen upon delicious Russian desserts. Travelers should expect the doormen to be quite friendly and helpful when it comes to answering questions about the building and area. Will definitely be back.
