Ali's place is truly in an ideal location. The metro station is just several minutes walk away, multiple interesting restaurants are nearby as are cafes and bars. Indeed there are so many choices in the area that it is surprising, but Ali is very helpful in sorting out the best places to eat and drink. He was also extremely responsive. Any question no matter how big or small would always be answered promptly and appropriately. His apartment was also a superb blend of peace and tranquility within the building coupled with energy and activity just blocks away - and well out of earshot. His pictures are accurate and representative. The place is speckless and clean to the fault. I would stay at his place again without a second thought.
