In this summer, we are doing a small cosmetic renovation in our apartments.Our light renovations can include: removing old wallpaper and installing new wallpaper, painting ceilings and other interior elements. We'd also love to hear your ideas for repairing linoleum flooring. Our appartment is lacated close to Kapchagay Reservoir. It is within a 45-minute walk to the large water reservoir. Konaev is a city with well-developed infrastructure, with a fairly clean ecological environmen and about 45-minute drive from Almaty by car or taxi. Shops, markets, and pharmacies are all within walking distance. A shady alley leads to the nice city beach. Our beach is always sunny and cozy, with warm and pleasant fresh water.
