Ala is very heartly host. He's all the time in touch and will help you with your stay.
The neighborhood is very quite (for those who don't appreciate noise of old city). Location is good enough for both lovers of walking and public transport. Also don't miss the opportunity to use Ala's three bikes to ride across the city! We liked a lot to have breakfasts at the bar in the kitchen :) but the kitchen missed the oil to cook :( Thanks to plenty of heaters at the apartment we stayed warm at home in November. But please take care to get the information from the host for case the electricity network fails under the load (before you lose the wi fi connection).
We had only one issue during our stay - the apartment could be cleaner for its price. But Ala seemed to us too responsible to leave our feedback without the fix up!
