Our stay at Pavel's was wonderful. The apartment is spacious and private, with excellent accommodations---an excellent location for exploring the city and unwinding at day's end. Pavel was very helpful and responsive with any questions we had.
The neighborhood is quiet yet has plenty to see and do. There is a distillery right behind the building and plenty of restaurants/breweries/etc. just around the corner. Note, though, that the subway doesn't run all the way in to the neighborhood. This is easily managed with availability of bus, e-scooter, and Citi bike (there's a dock immediately across the street).
