I highly recommend staying in this cozy and wonderful apartment. Firstly, the location of the apartment is simply wonderful! The metro is located within a 10-minute walk and it takes about 20 minutes by metro to reach the city center, where there are numerous attractions and restaurants, making it an ideal place to stay during a vacation. The apartment is very spacious, clean and well-equipped. There is everything necessary for a comfortable stay - from a fully equipped kitchen to comfortable furniture and fast Wi-Fi. Everything was neatly organized and clean, creating a cozy atmosphere inside the apartment. In addition, there is also an equipped terrace. Furthermore, the apartment owner, as well as his assistant, were very friendly and hospitable. He quickly responded to my messages and provided useful information about the apartment and everything around it, which helped me to better orient myself and plan my day.
