I'm quite impressed with the recent renovations in Bucharest too. When I saw how beautiful that hotel in the picture looked, decorated for Christmas, we just stood there and stared. It's something for any building here to have that effect. For so long, nothing did.
Personally, I still find Prague more appealing, though as you pointed out, it didn't go through quite the same level of destruction.

Good luck with your project here, Alex! Can't wait to hear more when it's finalized :)
