One word of warning: the very steep stairs after a few!

We stayed in one for four nights on Virmenska, it was beautiful and the pictures of the sight did not do it justice at all. The price was excellent value for such an atmospheric and central location.

We changed travel plans and stayed in Lviv again on our return journey and stayed in another of the agency's apartments on The Rynok. This was a modern airy apartment with a great view over the main square.

Both apartments were spacious and well decorated. They had TV, DVD and kitchens as well as a washing machine.

Svetlana, the company contact in Ukraine was very very helpful throughout and gave me some other tips for our trip into the Carpathians and Ivano Frankivsk.

The preferred method for payment of deposit was Western Union, but if you don't like that then I negotiated to use a company in the UK to pay by credit card.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24208 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20133
The pension is situated by the river right next to the Eggenberg brewery, which has its own pub and restaurant serving up their lovely beer and Czech staples. Within a couple of hundred yards you're in the thick of Cesky Krumlov's cobbled streets.

Marta the owner is fantastic and very helpful.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Ve Vezi.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20133 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20131
Meals can be prepared for you by a neighbour and it really is worth taking up this offer as her food was some of the best we had at some of the best prices!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20131 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3486
The bar had a real buzz, which is what first draws the attention from the bottom of the steps, I found it to be a really friendly little bar with a good mix of patrons, the staff were friendly too and only too happy to help.

Cocktails are a speciality and the mojitos were amazing especially on a hot summers evening - the whole cocktail list looked fantastic and there seemed a good wine list too, although regrettably I didn't sample any. There was also a very tempting buffet on offer which looked much better than the second rate tourist crap I'd just eaten.

The decor of the place was a juxtaposition between the futuristic and reclaimed which created a unique ambience.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3486
