Live like a local at these city-centre apartments. All are plain, though well maintained with comforts such as TVs and little sofas. Most have balconies and they are occasionally enlivened by original features (such as the 100-year-old wooden beams in the attic flat). The English- and Russian-speaking host is a garrulous soul and very flexible to accommodating travellers' needs.
