My hosts made me feel very welcome, and I was met at the metro station by Askar and his little boy on my first day. I was also offered a sandwich and tea on arrival which was very nice of them. The family are lovely and I felt like I could ask them if I needed anything. The room is quite big, with sufficient storage if you want to unpack everything. At the time I was staying there, there was construction going on outside which starts early in the morning, but this didn't bother me as I am used to noise and I didn't want to sleep in late anyway. It's easy to get to town on the metro from the apartment, and it felt safe enough, even walking through the small park in the late evening.
