Housed in a mansion once owned by a Soviet oligarch, the Kond House feels a lot like an underground house party. You can chug beer by the kitchen bar, play table football or sip homemade vodka distilled in the basement. The patio upstairs hosts pool parties during summer with market-fresh barbecued meats. You can even sleep over if you ask.
