In general, Abu’s place offers good value for money. It’s not too far from the center & has everything one needs to be comfortable- nothing fancy & no view from the windows, but enough.
Several issues to note:
1. The flat is on the second floor with no elevator and very tight and steep stairs.
2. The building is at the end of a very narrow street. taxis cannot get there so you will have to carry your bags uphill for 50 meters or so - just be ready to sweat a bit.
3. Sound proofing is nonexistent as this is a very old building so you will hear all sounds from upstairs & downstairs (also Airbnb flats) Not the best option if one needs to work virtually. But the neighborhood is pretty quiet, so with no noisy neighbors you should be OK.
4. There is a distinct smell from the bathroom so make sure you plug the shower drain after taking shower, otherwise the whole place smells like a toilet.
5. Knives are very dull so bring your own if you need to cook. Well, this is a common Airbnb problem.
