The apartment is very nice, exactly as it looks in the photos and really spacious. The location is excellent, 2 blocks from Union Square station, with plenty of markets, restaurants and all kinds of shops open till very late.
The apartment is 2 steps down from the street so it´s not very luminous but that was not a problem for us because, as tourists, we were out all day. Although the heating is centrally administered for the entire building and can´t be controlled from the apartment the temperature was nice and Shpresa provided us with an electric heater in case we needed it.
Shpresa was not in town when we arrived but answered our mails immediately and her friend Lara was very helpful.
