Versal On Tverskaya

The location was really perfect for us. We specifically wanted to book something close to the green metro line so it's easy to get to Domodedovo airport and it worked out perfectly. In addition the apartment is close to the historical supermarket (Elyseevsky), an adjacent restaurant with traditional Russian food and a very vibrant neighborhood with other restaurants, bars etc. The room has a nice elegant vibe with high ceilings and vintage furniture.

Everything sorely needs a renovation. The beautiful wallpaper is peeling off the walls and bathrooms have a moldy smell. In addition, the shower (in both bathrooms so it must be something with the whole system) keeps switching between hot and cold water, it's impossible to use properly. The blanket cover on a double bed was too narrow so we had to use to separate ones (then what's the point of having a double bed?). Moreover, the host lady is very sweet and friendly but somewhat overbearing - she keeps checking who's coming and going and asking questions (perhaps only if you speak Russian). If we wanted to socialize with the host, we would have chosen a different booking platform.
