This welcoming 2nd-floor guesthouse earns high marks for its spotless rooms with wood floors and its fair prices. The design is fairly minimal, though if you book the corner room with a view over the canal, you'll hardly notice. Of the eight rooms, five are en-suite, the others share a bathroom. There's a kitchen for guests, but no other common space.
The unmarked entrance on Fontanka is the first door west of Elfimova.
