Grigory was a welcoming and helpful host.
It's quite a an uphill walk to Grigory's (something to consider if hauling your luggage there) and the neighborhood isn't the nicest but it's not bad and we never felt unsafe. The view is spectacular and the location worked out very well for us. We loved hiking to the Castle from his place.
There was a storm the night before which knocked out some of the lighting fixtures so we had limitted lighting at night, but Grigory was helpful and apologetic about the situation (which was beyond his control).
