Rafik’s place is definitely a little more rustic than I pictured, with some construction maybe in progress or just an industrial look as a whole…but still very quaint and cute. The place is located about 8 min walk to two metro stops, still very central. Neighborhood is really noisy, but lively, so if that doesn’t bother you, it’s fine. I had a hard time sleeping with lots of noise from the neighbors. Lighting is not great in the place and it was very hot with a tiny fan that didn’t help much and I couldn’t leave the windows open because it was too loud. Other than that, the bed was comfortable and he was a great host!
