The host is nice, speaks English and tries his best to resolve issues and fulfill requests. The apartment had almost everything for a long term stay although I would prefer to have a little more storage space and a faster internet. It was possible to work but not 100% comfortably because of a relatively slow connection. The location is great, close to the metro, to supermarkets, the city center and especially Russafa, there's also a great market right next to the place.
