We spent 8 nights in this apartment in late September/early October 2013. When we arrived, our contact Amet was there waiting for us and showed us around, He spoke perfect English and was very helpful. The apartment is located directly in the city centre so no car is necessary to get around. It is on the 7th floor with cool views. It is a small block of apartments with very quiet, polite tenants. So close to all amenities - there is a 24hr shop directly across the street. There is a local Italian restaurant just outside the apartment block. The metro is just down the street. The apartment is beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. We've never felt so comfortable in rented accommodation before!! The terrace looks out onto Shevchenko Boulevard and the view is pretty cool.. The apartment is quiet as there is triple glazing in the street part and the bedrooms are so quiet for a city centre apartment. All mod cons including large HD tv in the sitting room. Very well stocked kitchen. The service from the owners is incredible and second to none - we had a problem with the hot water one of the evenings and I emailed the owner. Within five minutes, Amet was on the phone talking my husband through the boiler setting. A small problem quickly and easily solved. We would have no problem recommending the apartment to anyone thinking of staying in Kiev. We felt so at home here.
