One word... wow! I really liked this apartment.
First the reception isn't that difficult to find, as I read here and there... just follow the signs, it is clearly indicated. Then, about the courtyard... I was a bit concerned reading the other reviews but, really, this is absolutely fine. You see the building is old but, hey, this is Kiev, not Disneyland...! And I have to say it has its own charm. I didn't use the elevator so I can't talk about it. I was staying in the studio T3, and, really, for the price, it was perfect! The room is big and super clean. The bathroom is amazing, almost as big as the room! And there is a WORKING balneo bathtub. Very nice. I didn't use them, but there are every things you need to cook too. Very comfortable bed and incredible decoration. The only thing that could be improved in my opinion is soundproofing, but I know I am very sensitive on this point. Also a handle in the tub to help getting out after the relaxing bath :). Location is perfect, right in the center. I'll be back to Kiev in November and just want to ask for the same room.
