We had a lovely experience at Jamil’s home for four nights. Jamil was accommodating to our timings, we had a hiccup in our trip and he so kindly allowed us to alter our stay on short notice.
We drove and felt that parking was easy, you get a parking tag that allows you to park on the street (and up to 2 streets away) without getting a ticket. The location was also convenient and we could also walk to the Promenade. You have your own bathroom beside your room. The bed was incredibly comfortable to the point that it was tough leaving it every morning. Washer and dryer are located on the premises on the ground floor and can be used for a small fee, convenient enough that you don’t have to leave the compound. There was also a really spacious patio which we did not manage to utilize.
Jamil has been so generous, offering us snacks and taking time out of his day to chat. When we first met Jamil, he made it a point to let us know that we could be as comfortable as we would like, and to treat the place like our own place. We spent an evening hanging out with Jamil and his neighbor (who is also a close friend of his) and got to learn so much about them. It was such a lovely and brilliant exchange.
We didn’t manage to meet his wife, Mona, as she was on a trip. However, we look forward to coming back and meeting her next time too.
