Naseer’s apartment was so much more spacious than anyone in my group had expected from the photos. The place was very clean. A previous visitor had written a review complaining about the window in the bathroom because “anyone from outside can see you” and all of my friends laughed at how foolish that statement is when there’s a ginormous tree right in front of the window (and it faces a not busy street). Regardless, the only real complaint anyone could have is that only the bedrooms have A/C so it can get pretty stuffy throughout the apartment. The easiest solution is to just open the windows - after a few minutes no one will complain about the heat. The el is about a mile walk away, which isn’t horrible, but it’s not the most convenient when you’re in a rush to get somewhere.
There were some communication issues with Naseer but in his defense his cellphone was broken. I don’t imagine communication is normally as difficult.
In the end, the place was excellent for a cheap price and I’d definitely recommend it to a friend!
