Assad is such a great host and a wonderful person! He welcomed me very warmly in his apartment, we had a small chat, unfortunately I was too tired to hang out with him. And the next day he was so nice to brought me a fresh pastry, orange juice and tea for a breakfast.
His apartment is at walking distance from the city centre, or around 9 minutes by using tram or bus. The bus n1 from the airport has a station really close to the Assad's house.
The apartment is very clean, the private room is big and there is also a fully equipped kitchen which you're free to use! Would love to stay again.
