  : The host was overly nice (too nice) but cannot speak English. We had to use online translators.
  : We're not sure how this apartment got high ratings in Booking.com.The apartment was located in a very old building on the 3rd floor. The stairs are rickety, dark, and all lightings are just yellow bulbs and the building itself is creepy. The building might have been used in horror movies.We we travelled as a family with 2 kids, one is an infant. There was no lift/elevator, and the stairs are so high and we had to carry our large luggages all the way up to the apartment. The entire building and apartment smelled old and musty. We booked the apartment for 4 days/3 nights and paid in cash. My wife was so scared that she cannot stand another minute in it so we had to checkout, just over an hour after we paid in cash and booked another nearby hotel. We sent a message to the host informing him that we are checking out and told him the reasons, and his response was a resounding "OK". We understand that Booking had their polices, but the host didn't even offered some sort of a compromise like returning at least just one night of what we paid, but nothing. The photos here must have been taken when it was newly renovated as it doesn't look like it at all. Book at your own risk!

  : Very clean apartment, nicely decorated and very spacious. Vladimir, the host, was very helpful and communicates well with Google translate (no English). There is a Dixy supermarket just below the apartment.
  : The bathtub used to be a spa tub, but it no longer functions.
