We had a great time at Malik's place. He was very kind and hospitable. He had great communication, met us at the property, and lives nearby so we liked knowing we could call him if we needed anything. His place is adorable, the exposed rustic beams are amazing, and the pullout bed was very comfortable.. and that's coming from my husband who is a mattress snob. There were quite a few stairs to climb to get to the apartment, which I didn't realize upon arrival, but Malik ran down to help my husband carry luggage up the stairs. We spent 3 nights in the apartment. The little breezeway with all of his plants is very pretty. The only negative thing I could say about the apartment was the strong smell from the cleaner in the toilet. But I appreciated the fact that it was very clean and he was trying to keep it that way, so I wouldn't take my rating down for that. It was very close to the Metro, 3 minute walk, although a lot of the time the places we were going, we ended up walking further to get to a different metro line, so we only used the close metro once or twice. But even the further metro was only about a 5-6 min walk. There was a grocery store very close on the corner, and a pharmacy and patissier nearby as well. We very much enjoyed our time at Malik's place and would recommend it to others.
