Samia's place is very welcoming. The decor is inviting and an extension of her identity. The room was clean, with the rest of the apartment tidying. She stayed up late to accommodate for my late check in, and made herself available should I have needed anything (which I didn't). There is a climb up 3 flights of stairs to the apartment, with no elevator; people is mobility issues might struggle with this. There are also some busy bars/terraces on the street so people do make noise into the early hours. This didn't bother me, but for folks who need silence, it might bother them.
But these are not things in Samia's control. She was a great host, in a lovely apartment. It was about a 15-20 min walk to the UN, and also a short walk downtown, so it is convenient if you intend on staying centrally.
Samia also gave me some recommendations for places to eat and visit, which I unfortunately didn't have the time to do.
I will certainly stay here again ☺️
