"Pros: The apartment was all right. It was spacious and comfortable enough, the kitchen and washing machine were functional. Didn't meet the guy managing it but he was responsive and everything could be arranged. Cons: It's nothing for international travellers who don't speak Russian. The apartment could have also been better equipped. We had to improvise here and there, but no big deal. Some of the pillows were smelly. It took a long while until the host made the internet work." ~Jochen
