Ali's place is fine. It is spacious, with hot water. Temperature control can be a bit difficult. Additionally, it is across the street from a school and it is very, very loud early in the morning. The street in front of the apartment is often lined with cars, making it difficult to get an uber or taxi. As the apartment is towards the bottom of a steep incline, that is something to consider when bringing luggage and calling a taxi.
Communication was good leading up to the trip and the beginning. In Ali's instructions he highlights an issue with taxi drivers scamming travelers. I asked for his help calling a taxi the day before our departure and follow up multiple times, however he did not respond. In the listing he mentions that he will help call a taxi. I was disappointed by the lack of communication at the very end of our trip.
