A nice small hotel situated at an arm's length to the metro station, 1905 Street, and not far from the city centre. Getting from A to B is swift and smooth. Use Troika card for seamless commuting on all public transport.
As for their standard rooms, they're comfy and have everything you may need. You can also ask for some extra things, such as tea bags, a kettle and a hair drier. The central heating is functioning well and there's hot water.
Generally, the receptionists are friendly and helpful.
Thank you, Corsa Vita, for a memorable stay.
One can buy about anything at this local market as well as have your hair and nails done.
I know most stall sellers--they're friendly and sometimes give me a discount.
I love the nut and confectionary stalls owned by Tajiks, I think. I always buy macadamia, fancy chocs and other eastern delights from them.
It's a good place to buy several imported products. Shop assistants are usually friendly and helpful. There's a coffee shop inside the supermarket where you can enjoy a cuppa with something yummy from the bakery.
I wish they sold loose lemongrass so that I could buy it for my Tom Yum.
