If you care to stay in a non-touristic neighborhood with mostly locals, this apartment is great. The neighborhood is also packed with small shops of all kinds, but there is also a supermarket for things that are hard to find or hard to communicate, having a language barrier. There is also a Kabobchi across the street which was the best we had in our 1-week stay (we tried many across the town, even in one of the islands). Needless to say, Shahrzad is a great and extremely helpful host. Specifically, she helped us with our lost baggage and went the extra mile to make sure that we get our belongings as fast as possible. Thank you Shahrzad.
