Ali’s apartment met our expectations, and more: it is spacious, clean, equipped with all basic needs and close to public transportation. It fully deserves its current rating.
The water boiler has seen better days but a good stainless steel pan and a powerful gas range did the trick just as well.
One suggestion from a guest not accustomed to British satellite tv: instructions on how to access a news channel (provided there was one) would have been welcome.
We would definitely consider a return visit to these accommodations. And thank you, Ali, for the beautiful yellow tulips on the dinner table!
