Booked a stay with my partner and my 2yr old and 12yr old. The host allowed us to check in early which was great. We arrived at said time but he was about half hour late but did explain why. Coming from my previous stay in Rusafa area this area was very scary looking and the buildings around were very run down looking. I seen people washing themselves outside, babies sitting and playing on the dirty ground. I was under the impression that this was a nice place by the beach. The place had no lift so going up and down multiple stairs with a stroller was not fun. The host advised that the ac will over flow sometimes so u have to change the water in a pan under it. Well that was an understatement because it fills up very quickly. A neighbour came upstairs upset that water from the ac was leaking on his window. There is only ac on ONE SIDE of the apartment so to feel some sort of ac ok the other side u have to blast the ac which means the person sleepin on the side of the ac is cold. There were stains on the wall, the curtains that divide the sleep area. The bathroom was ok, the tile on the floor in the shower is scratched off so it looks like its dirty even if its not. There wasnt alot of shopping options in the immediate area. Overall, I would never stay there or in that area again and I’m advising other foreign travellers to find somewhere else that’s more comfortable even if it costs a bit more.
