Vitaliy was very welcoming. He accommodated our schedule, including allowing us to drop our bags early when we arrived and leave them late on the day we left. He answered some questions we had about the city and gave us restaurant recommendations. The apartment was exactly as described. It was meticulously clean. It is very near a subway stop, making it a very convenient place to stay. We were very comfortable and very happy we stayed at Vitaliy's place.
