The host was excellent and helped us with all that was needed. Although she had family health issues, she still made time for us.
Trains and buses just minutes away. Just make sure to prepare yourselves for the very cold outdoors. Wear the right clothings as it could get very nasty.
One word of advise. Avoid small grocers such as the one in the coner just seconds away from the apartment as they will rob you alive. They do not give you an itemized bill. They just give you a random price to pay as they will know you are foreign.
You buy a few things today and they charge you one price. You buy the very same things the next day, and they will charge you differently. When you ask for the itemised bill, they start talking to each other with their own language. Insulting me for all I know. Other then that, I recommend the apartment and the host.
