Mr. Bekir takes care of the guest in Serife's absence. He is a very very good gentleman. Made us feel like home. He can't speak English but he can explain everything that you need to know. He phoned his daughter and connected to us who could speak English and she too explained all the things.
Serife is a working lady and came by 8:00 PM and she too was so kind to come in and talk to us and greeted us.
Overall, they are a super host.. 5 star to them for there amazing hospitality.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
Its location. Its away from city, almost the last stop of metro.
Atomium is just 1 stop away via metro. Or you can even walk till Automium which may be a kilometer away.
Step out of the apartment, walk for 100 mtrs and you find Metro station.
Apartment was clean and neat.
Open Kitchen with stove and all the needed utensils to prepare your own food.
One Queen size bed, and 2 single size beds are provided, a separate room is there for privacy.
Has 3 to 4 room heaters and also an extra electric heater to keep you warm. Blankets and bedsheets were very clean and neat. Kettle, Iron box, coffee sachets, sugar, salt, complimentary biscuits and chocolates were provided. Bathroom had toilet papers, showergel and handwash..
All in all, we were happy with what was provided.
Cons:
No TV, no Microwave Owen, no fridge.
It looks like this was a store room before which they have converted into a airbnb apartment now, so you can still see huge pipes in the ceiling and windows everywhere. Do not expect any luxurious looks inside. Host has a few of their stuffs kept aswell but none of these should bother you much. We felt it is a little more from the price point of view, but still worth the stay.
All in all, I recommend this apartment for staying, especially when you are traveling with family.
