We have not met Saban personally as we checked in through the nearby hotel which is actually quite convenient as it is open 24/7. The hotel staff were really helpful. We could also store our luggage there before the check in and after the check out. The location is very central. The apartment is very small but sufficient for a couple if they are spending most of the time in the city anyway. The balcony is great in good weather. The only disadvantage was the noise (coming from both outside and from inside the building) so light sleepers could have trouble having a good night sleep.
