Cozy budget flat in the heart of Chisinau

Have you been to Chisinau before or is this your first time in Moldova? What about Eastern Europe? I can tell you the city has change a lot, the whole region did. Chisinau is a wonderful green city with beautiful parks, lots of cool cafes, gourmet restaurants and of course amazing wineries that are just miles away. I cant believe sometimes how quickly it all changed. If you are looking to experience this little cozy European capital from the heart of the downtown - you found the place! It is an older building, late (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) s, the flat has been renovated in (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) Its perfect for budget travel without sacrificing the location. The flat has all you need for cooking, a nice balcony and all the little things you usually need when traveling. Its decorated in a minimalistic style, very representative of the (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) s (Phone number hidden by Airbnb) s (with some modern appliances of course). There are minor changes from the photos, but all are improvements actually, I can assure you of that. It will definitely help you experience the Soviet times, with more comfort though :) (Website hidden by Airbnb) (Website hidden by Airbnb) S: I will be of course happy to provide you with bed linen and towels. For laundry there is a possibility to wash clothes in my apartment. (Website hidden by Airbnb) The street is OK for parking but you have a few nice parking spots in the courtyard. In the past , there were issues with parking whatsoever but I see more and more cars on the streets these days, so let me know if you are planning to use a car in Chisinau and I can share some advice. No Elevator! Important to notice this especially if you normally require one. The whole apartment is fully accessible to guests. I live in France with my partner and our 1 year old son (I guess I will need to come here often and keep updating that age:) My parents are the ones that you will actually meet in person and say hi and receive a big welcome! It will be either one of our mums or my dad and they will gladly check you in, show you around and tell you how it all works inside. I am always available online via AirBnb but also by phone in case of emergency. Although havent had one in years :) Despite all the remnants of communist era such as corruption and bad governance, somehow the city managed to maintain its charm and you can see today developments in the old town, the new town, all the parks and city monuments. Maybe we dont have a cool financial district :) but who knows what will happen in years to come. The apartment itself is located in the heart of the old city , in the middle of the old town part called “Cartierul Alb”, which historically was the place of our Aristocracy. After the 2nd world war though, this neighbourhood experienced some transformation in terms of new types of buildings available for city clerk and government workers (elites). After the first world war, aristocracy was no longer in fashion anway :) , especially if you ask the russian communist party. These days you have everything you need walking distance, shops, 24/7 shops, mall, cafes, bars, nightclubs, fitness centers, hairdressers and anything you imagine you might need during a vacation trip or business trip or even a longer stay (especially a longer stay) - you have it all there 1-10 min walk. If location is something you always have on your mind when traveling, this apartment is what you are looking for! Taxis are cheap and reliable - download an app called iTaxi or (Hidden by Airbnb) Taxi. Pay what it says on the taximeter. But there are plenty of public transport methods like busses, minibuses, trolleybuses - you just need to know which one to take :) But as I said through the whole description, everything you need is very close and for out of town ventures - rent a car or use taxis, its reasonable rates, plus lots of tours organise that for you anyway. Smoking on the balcony only and no loud parties after 22:00, thats the local law. Otherwise just treat place like your own (I do hope you treat you place nicely :) Also please let me know estimated time of arrival to airport/ bus station / railway station so my parents can organize meeting you at the apartment.
