My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. Irina is a superb host, genuinely interested in her guests and taking care of them. When we made the booking, we were a bit concerned about sharing the bathroom, but it was not a problem at all. The bathroom was clean and they made it a point to stay out of our way. Breakfast was plentiful and more generous than other hosts we have stayed with. It was also great to chat with her and exchange notes on various topics. She and her husband helped carry our suitcases when we arrived and when we left. She went as far as helping with our laundry too!! Just made us feel at home!!
We parked our car on the street for 3 days and it was safe.
One word of advise- use the metro to cross into town, across the river. Save your energy for in-town activities.
