Tariq was great! He was a friendly and helpful host. He was not around a lot, but when he was, he gave us lots of interesting info about the city as well as recommendations for food and entertainment.

We picked up our keys from the concierge while he was at work and were good to go. Pay attention to Tariq's direction with regard to picking up the keys. The importance and some of the specifics of the instruction was not clear to me after a long trip. His apartment was very clean and is in a great location south of the entertainment district. He has a balcony that looks south over some high rises and toward the water. Within about a 2 miles, there is a huge range of bars and restaurants, shopping, and cultural options. Easy walk or streetcar ride.

I would highly recommend staying with Tariq.
