The apartment was not too far from the airport and there were great shops close by to get great groceries. It was just short walks to many sites or to get to the metro. We couldn't figure out the tv so did without, but we were very busy and didn't really miss it. Nesrines mom was really sweet, so that out weighs the nasty lady in the elevator who very rudely told us that we were not welcome there even though we had been very quiet. She actually followed us out to the street telling us she didn't want us there.
