We stayed in Banis apartment for 10 days in October 2012. We really enjoyed the place. It was very clean and had fresh towels and bedsheets prepared for us. Also the neighboorhood was really cool, with lots of cafes and bistros close by.
We felt completely safe walking back to her place at night, as there would always be people in the street.
We never met Bani, but she was very attentive via email, and always replied within few hours.
We highly recommend staying at Banis place!
