It’s hard to imagine a better location than Anechka’s place. It’s close to central station with easy access to trains, buses and tram, a park/pool close by, and multiple cafes and restaurants. It’s also surprisingly quiet. Leave the car behind (there’s not much street parking anyway).
The place was pretty new, very clean and enough space for 2 people. Anechka was very responsive to my various questions and had put all her stuff away out of sight so it didn’t feel like I was invading her space. That means theres no storage space to put our clothes away but there is a coat rack with plenty of hangers and bench space in the bedroom to put out your clothes and that didn’t bother us.
