Rifat is an excellent host. He went above and beyond to help us get to the apartment and he even showed us a local restaurant that we delicious! (We ate there twice). The place is just as it looks, and it was comfortable. Hot water was great and so was the heating in the room. The room was also clean, the one thing though was that if you are uncomfortable with cigarette smoke, then I would be cautious. Rifat assured me the room was non-smoking which I'm sure it was, but someone was smoking in the hotel and it permeated through the walls.
