Lisa’s apartment is conveniently located 8 minutes from the main train station, making arrival and departure to the airport a piece of cake. The immediate neighborhood is heavily middle-eastern. We found a flatbread store-front, a dedicated pastry shop (baklava!), and the best falafel I have ever had. We walked to all major museums (up to 20 minutes) and most sights. Best, we were warmly welcomes by Amad, who pro-actively took excellent care of us. Especially during COVID with ever-changing restrictions, it was wonderful to have a caring, English-fluent guide there in person. When issues arose, as they always do, he was on the scene promptly with good grace and competence.
The apartment itself is small, with great AC and an outdoor terrace for al fresco meals. Excellent WiFi, and well-equipped with everything we needed. I especially appreciate the portable make-up mirror, the plentiful hot water, and refreshed towels mid-stay.
