Good points: natural experience of living in the real local’s flat; cozy street aside of the main overcrowded Istiklyal street. Aydin try’s to keep in touch and help with everything.
But we weren’t able to self check in even though it would be more convenient. Aydin insisted to meet us at the place. At the last moment he got some other plans, and couldn’t and asked his brother who wasn’t online. It was a little mess and frustrating in the night, but ended up successfully.
The main minus for us: the flat was rather dirty. Half full trash bin, bucket with dirty water in the bathroom, private stuff all around the place. It looked like the host just left his own space to free it for travellers. Which is nice but can be cleaner.
