Communication with Salam was easy. He was there at check-in. There are many restaurants and grocery stores in the area. There is a police station across the street and a bike store next to the building in case you’ll want to rent one. It’s within walking distance to several metro stations.
There are several cons. The apartment didn’t have a dishwasher even though its description said it did. Wifi was very spotty. The apartment is on the 2nd floor in an old building with no elevator. So if you had to carry a lot of luggage or groceries, that could be inconvenient. The building got very dark after 8 and there was no light in the hallway or on the stairs so I had to use my phone to get to my apartment.
