Where is it?

All the stalls are found along the wall opposite the end of the escalator. The toilets, while facing these stalls, will be to your left, across a smal sitting area and beneath a bright yellow sign reading, "WC."
What's it like?

The bathrooms found in this location (the only ones available to those departing from Pulkovo 2 after passing through the security and ticketing area, are strangely cave-like. They are long, stretching and quite foul smelling -- with the aroma being a strong mixture of urine and feces. There are no windows and, from what it looked like, no proper ventilation. Just the room itself, it's fixtures and stalls, and that's it.

On the plus side, the designers have tried hard to disguise the cavernous feel to the place. The lighting is bright, and both the floor and walls are covered in shiny while tiles. But still, the place is deep, and noises echo here, and you can't help but feel a little claustrophobic while inside, no matter what attempts to cover that quality may be. Though, having said that, it's not nearly as claustrophobic as other bathrooms visited in the city, like those experienced at the Petro Palace lobby or the SkyBar. And really, the only reason for that is that these accommodate more people than those.

Marks out of 10:
6. Would normally be a 7, because it's so clean, but I took a point off for the smell and dank, cave-like feel to it. Very bad smells in here.
Comments to the Management:
Air fresheners would be good to add, or maybe cut in a ventilation fan in the back, where the toilets are. There needs to be some air circulation in here.
