We didn't meet Nida unfortunately but Awais was a very concienscious host. If we asked for something it appeared almost instantly. Awais purchased a new bar b q just for our visit and also put extra beds in for us.
Awais now runs a limo service and its parked right by the house which was convenient. If you are a larger party it costs less than 2 taxes and a nice touch too.
The house is large with views over the mountains and shipping area- it was noisy at night at times due to the movement of containers and a long train but it's amazing how fast you get accustomed to that and it wasn't an issue once we settled.
The number 4 bus was about 3 min walk away and took us right into the heart of down town... The buses are frequent and reliable. There is a small convenience store 3 min from the house.
There is a top floor extra large balcony with outdoor sofa which was great for watching the sun set and the activity on the water.
There are really great views from the whole of the back of the house- lots of large panes of glass and we sat for ages watching the boats coming and going.
We were provided with towels and plenty of shower toiletries etc. washing machine and dryer were great to have.
We would love to go back again and maybe one day we will.
Awais couldn't do enough for us and we all recognised his efforts.
We were a group of 8 with 2 visitors most of the time ( not staying over) and the house comfortably catered for us all.
