Katya's garden basement apartment is the kind of place that feels like a bit of country in the middle of the city. The garden is the best part, with chickens, bees, a big plum tree, a little fountain, lots of end-of-summer growth - I had the place to myself on a hot summer afternoon in late August. My ukelele and I couldn't have been happier.! The inside was not as clean as it might have been and the kitchen was very basic, but I got used to it pretty quick. I do not recommend for a "white glove" kind of person. This is a great location, perfect for walking/biking around. A sweet respite from the city streets esp on a summer's day.
