Kaliningrad is indeed more comfortable than other cities in Russia, but I want to point out the downsides. For example: few opportunities compared to Moscow and other big cities, low provincial salaries and isolation from the rest of the Russian Federation. But if you value peace, harmony and cleanliness, as well as proximity to resort cities (such as: Baltiysk, Zelenogradsk, Svetlogorsk, etc.), then I highly recommend visiting this city, thanks to its European heritage and German architecture it remains interesting for tourists.

I was there, in this most western and European city of Russia this summer. It is really more comfortable here than in other Russian cities, thanks to the European mentality and its heritage, safety and quality of services. The only difference between this city and Moscow, Gdansk or St.Petersburg is provincial salary (about 600-800$).
