Rana's place was great to stay, very clean and comfortable. Lovely big and comfortable bed, plenty of towels and bed linen..
The tips on local restaurants and bus/boat directions were very helpful. It's a new residential area, a few cafes nearby but not many restaurants, except a fabulous (and reasonably priced) floating restaurant across the road. And the city center and meat packing district (lots of restaurants) is just 15 minutes on the bus.
The harbour bus (boat) stop is just across the road and it is a great way to get to the city center and see the highlights from the waterway.
