Jamel's place is conveniently near to the bus and trains which makes it quite easy to get around . He lives on property but he is difficult to get via the app or even whatsapp so its better to knock on his door in an emergency. Though the basement space is yours entirely, there is no interior door to lock. Anyone can enter using the stairs from the street level entrance door - so if you value privacy this may not be a good option for you. The place is reasonably comfortable though the floors were dusty, he says he does the cleaning himself so I guess its reasonably clean but you may want to avoid walking around with bare feet. All in all not a bad experience, he was kind enough to offer transportation though he says he does not normally offer this service.
