Rifat's place has all the amenities one needs for a few days stay - Comfortable beds, excellent AC, strong wifi signal, hot water, and laundry services for those travelling light. Rifat is very personable, helpful (he graciously did our laundry with a smile, took care of arranging taxi to/from the airport, quickly replaced the iron, brought us additional towels), and amazingly responsive (he reminded me of the genie from the magic lamp - send him a text and he literally appears rightaway, regardless of the time of day!). Location is super convenient for tourists - all key landmarks are within 10-15 min of his apt by walk, and there are lots of surprisingly good eateries within a stone's throw. There are lots of small grocery stores also within a stone's throw, for those who want to be able to cook a meal. All in all excellent value for money.
