Апартаменти інстаграмні, але не комфортні
Pros:

чудове розташування, зручне самостійне поселення та виселення, швидка відповідь підтримки, гарне кондиціонування

Cons:

апартаменти інстаграмні, але тільки на фото (( вони знаходились на 4-му поверсі, ліфт тільки до третього, далі вузькі, круті сходи, про що ніхто не попереджає. Якщо у Вас важкі валізи чи коляски - це точно не для Вас. Кімната відповідала тій що я бронював тільки стилем оформлення, була набагато меншою і іншою за функціоналом. Звернення до підтримки нічого не дало, мене переконували, що це я був неуважний і забронював саме ці апартаменти. Постіль для того щоб застілити диван для дітей довелось шукати самостійно. В номері дуже пильно, пил повсюди. Рушники рвані (додаю фото)

Excelent
Pros:

The room was exactly as shown. Everything new, carefully worked, very clean. The location is perfect for exploring the city . 100 m from Brabakan, Old city and about 300 m from the train station. There are many shops and a mall nearby. The room was very quiet. You don't even know you're in the city. We definitely come back here and recommend this accomodation.
