I really wish I could give this a five-star review! Short version is that the location, host, amenities, and local tips were exemplary, some of the best on our two-week trip... but the bed (for me) was unfortunately not. Read on for details:
Azadeh met us in person for early check-in, despite her having an appointment that morning. She walked us through everything in the apartment with great efficiency and professionalism, and responded to questions during our stay. She gave great tips on local restaurants and shopping areas. We highly recommend her as a hostess.
The apartment location can't be beat. You're right off the main square, and the balcony looking out to the Dome is so nice. We noticed a little extra nightlife noise on the weekend, but it wasn't bad. Everything in the apartment (shower, kitchen, toilet, washing machine) worked great. We loved having a washing machine - with detergent provided! - at this point in our journey. You're supplied with a drying rack which works perfectly well on the balcony.
The bed was not such a highlight. I'll say that my husband (easy sleeper) didn't have any issues with it, and slept fine. I was coming down with a cold, and am a high maintenance sleeper. So I might have been a little more sensitive than normal. But the mattress, which felt thin to the point of feeling some springs on the inside, was not flat - seemed to be sloping a bit, which wasn't great. I ended up using an extra duvet in the closet as a makeshift mattress topper, so I finally got a little sleep, but felt achy in the mornings.
If the mattress were replaced, I'd stay here again in a heartbeat, but unfortunately not as it currently is. If you're like my husband and not as picky a sleeper, I'd highly recommend!
