Irene was a great host. I wasno't able to meet her at a suitable time due to my flight getting in very late. She facilitated alternative arrangements and was very helpful. The apartment is well located and clean. There is no lift so be aware of this when booking. Although Irene was not there during our stay, there are many personal belongings in the apartment so it felt as if we were staying with her. The shower was great (no issues) and apartment is spacious and very central to the city and Russafa area. Irene checked in by text message a couple of times while we were staying to make sure that everything was OK. Checking out was perfect and exactly on time. Thank you Irene!
