This is a wonderful studio, perfect for solo adventurers or a couple staying in the city for a few days. I found it very easy to get around, by either walking or taking the bus or sky train. There is tons of space to unpack and feel a bit settled. I didn't get a chance to meet Alya but her sister greeted me and she was very friendly.
There are big window all along one wall of the apartment. This is lovely during the day. But, it's good to know that there are only sheer curtains on the windows so the apartment doesn't get very dark at night due to the city lights and it gets bright very early when the sun rises. Make sure to bring an eye mask!
