Rafaat's apartment is exactly as it appears on the web site -- immaculate, spacious, and sleek. We particularly appreciated the comfortable beds, the well-equipped kitchen and the spacious, beautiful showers. The apartment appears to have been remodeled very recently. Everything -- floor coverings, furniture, appliances, linens, etc. -- looks to be brand new.
The apartment is very conveniently located, about midway between 2 tube stations. There is a bus stop literally right outside the door. Most of the major tourist sights are about 1/2 hour away, either by bus or walking+underground.
Checkin was a breeze. We stayed in touch with Rafaat and Peter via text message as we travelled and when we arrived, Peter was at the building to give us keys and show us the ropes.
