We rented this 1 bedroom apartment for 6 nights for 2 adults and a child.
It is located in a lovely area close to a park and bus routes. Like most buildings in this area, it is right at the street, so it is very noisy if the door to the tiny balcony is left open, which could be a problem in warm weather, as the ventilation in the apartment in general, and especially in the bathroom after using the shower, is non-existent. Fortunately, the bedroom is at the back of the apartment, and away from the noisy street.
When the couch in the living room is opened/converted to a bed, the space becomes really cramped and it is difficult to navigate around the circular dining table, including pulling out the dining chairs. This did get annoying after the first 2 days, but shouldn’t be a problem if you’re staying for a short time.
The kitchenette is open to the living area and has good quality appliances, including an oven, large refrigerator and dishwasher. There is a good assortment of crockery, cutlery, pots and pans provided, as well as dishwasher detergent. We asked the host Waleed for additional detergent for washing up dishes by hand because we couldn’t justify running the machine just to clean 4 teacups. On our first evening, which was a Saturday, we arrived at the apartment only after 7.30pm, and discovered that there was NO toilet paper or hand soap in the bathroom!!! Not a pleasant start to our stay, but Waleed brought the missing items to the door a couple of hours later.
The bedroom has a large closet which is great for storing/hanging clothes. We had to always use the lights, even during the day, as the bedroom window shutter was closed because it overlooks an unkempt garden.
