Ms Basma Sayed was extremely helpful while helping us to locate her place. We were able to take the metro from the airport to the station which is a 10 minute walk to her apartment. She gave us a welcome drink and the room was ready. Neighbourhood was quiet although close to eating places and shops.
All the important sightseeing places were accessible by tram within 20 mins. Neighbourhood was safe to walk around late at night. Reaching the apartment involves climbing three flight of musty stairs (no lift).
Basma also cooked a delicious vegetarian meal for us one evening.
