Tarek was a great host! He responded quickly leading up to my stay and when I took longer than expected to arrive from the airport he messaged me to make sure I was ok. The apt is literally across the street from the Stalingrad subway station (great line to be on, easy access to most everything) and you have two delicious bakeries within a 2 min walk; as well a convenient store and grocery store within blocks from the apt. The apt is much bigger than expected and although on a main road you can't hear noise from the street (only if windows are open). The kitchen has everything you need to cook meals if you'd like. Tarek gave me great recommendations for neighborhood restaurants and cafes. Check out was a breeze and he was very accommodating to my early morning departure.
