Safin's place worked out great for us. But, finding parking can be tricky if you intend to arrive or return in the evening. Parking in general takes more effort in the city. I saw a lot more mopeds and scooters during this visit than any previous visit. You also need to pay attention to signs that limit parking to certain days and hours. If you're not used to driving in the city, you will need to prepare yourself for that too. I had elevated levels of "stressicles".
