  : I questioned the cleanliness of breakfast. She was using bare hands to touch the pastry, after we saw her coughing and not washing her hand.
  : The room is a good size, but it wasnt cleaned well, the bin wasnt empty as there was a sanitary or maybe panty liner in the bin.

  : The location is great within walking distance to the main train station and the CBD. Not a bad place to stay for one night especially you pay the same for two dorm beds elsewhere.
  : This is a home stay more than anything. It advertised private bathroom but the bathroom (1 toilet and 1 shower) was shared between 4 rooms. Tatjana is an interesting host who has been running this business for over 20 years and it seems nothing has changed in the last 20 years. Tatjana is a character and if you get easily offended by comments, this place is not for you. There were plenty of options for breakfast served in her small kitchen but it seemed like Tatjana was struggling managing everything herself as mouldy bread and expired ham were offered along with a variety of other items.

  : This is a very intimate homestay experience. Tatjana is a Russian woman in her 70s, who owns the large apartment and lives downstairs. It is in an apartment complex. The decor is very unique & quaint. The location is very suitable to access everything. You will be staying in one of the 3 rooms upstairs. The bathroom and shower are shared. Tatjana is not fluent in English. I found Google translate helpful to communicate when it was too tricky. Tatjana likes to know what time you are arriving and what time every morning youd like breakfast, as she will have her daily life and appointments to attend to etc also. Please let her know. She makes her best effort to accomodate. There is a small table for breakfast that you will share with other guests. Tatjana enjoys having conversations with her guests as best as shes able.
  : We were lucky that the place was not busy when we stayed, but I could see that a share bathroom could be tricky with many guests. The rooms can get quite stuffy so I had to leave the window open.
