A few things I look for when looking for a place to stay:
1. Good Price
2. Location
3. Private Bedroom
The Good:
Nour’s place meets and exceeds this criteria. The place is an extreme bargain for what you get. You are about a 5 min walk from the subway. The AC is always on so you can always escape from the humid heat which is extremely comforting. Amenities are provided upon request so you’ll have everything you need to get ready for the day. House is very clean and always kept tidy. Beautiful artistic apartment and it definitely shows in his photos.
The Bad:
Checkout is at 11 as stated on the listing. When checkout morning rolled in I got into the shower at 10:40. Nour did not seem to appreciate that and verbally exploded on my brother, talking about how his listing states that you be courteous and leave 5-10 mins before 11, and that he had guests incoming at noon. At the time of writing this there is no trace of that on his listing whatsoever. At no point was there was there any communication about leaving 5-10 mins before checkout, otherwise we would’ve been happy to comply. We ended up leaving after being yelled at with my socks and shoes in hand in the hallway.
My advice:
Definitely check this place out and if you end up booking make sure you are on good terms with the host, and make sure to establish a good and strong line of communication so you avoid instances like mine.
