Johanna Carolina is an exemplary host. Immaculately responsive, she ensures that all needs are attended to at once and any questions are resolved immediately. This kind of attitude is precious.
The location is superb: the building is in the middle of a beautiful street with two wonderful parks at either end. The blue mosque, the promenade, and grocery stores are just a short walk away. The tram is about 7–10 mins away, the underground is about 15. The neighbourhood is peaceful and charming.
The room for two was nice and tidy. There is a fridge, sink, kettle and a small electric stove. The water pressure in the shower is strong. The towels, mattresses and the bedding are excellent.
A special thank you goes to Neena, the housekeeper. She does a great job of cleaning, making breakfast and keeping everything in order. And she is an absolutely wonderful and caring person.
Take time to explore the narrow streets, check out the little bakery with halwa buns on the way to the metro (right side of the street), sit at one of the tables around the fountain in the park closer to the sea, stroll along the promenade, visit the nearby fish market, grab a kebab from the tiny stall (again on the way to the metro, left side of the street, just a short walk), take a look at the aqueduct, check out another long embankment on the other side of the ferry piers (come to the promenade, walk right past the fish market and the ferries, then turn left, walk a little further and you'll see it).
