Valerii was an amazing host to us! The check-in was without any problems; he gave us a lot of tips for bars, restaurants, sights nearby and was overall very caring.
The neighbourhood looks a bit shady at first sight but it's really close to the center and rather lovely once you get to know it (especially when you cross the bridge to the new town).
If you have any questions whatsoever you can be sure that Valerii helps you out. For example, we had some medical emergency and needed some help straightaway and he was there this instant to support us.
We can only recommend staying with Valerii!
