    Nothing.

    I loved everything. This is an excellent stay. If you want peace and quiet and a place that feels like home, just book this. Trust me. It is amazing. The guy handling it is amazing. He is very sweet, respectful, and very helpful. I will surely book this whenever I come to Baku. I do not need to go anywhere else. The location is amazing as well. Walking distance to so many good places. The metro is nearby. Many doner places are nearby. Good breakfast cafes are nearby. There’s a bravo store nearby. All in all, amazing stay I must say. I am just so happy I chose this.

    I can't say I didn't like anything. Almost everything in the room is good. Maybe only minor renovations within the facilities can be made.

    The host (Elnur) was very helpful in everything. Even though my flight arrived late, he provided all the necessary convenience for me. Here you don't just get a room, you actually get a mini apartment with a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. This creates a very flexible environment for travelers. The location is truly beyond perfect! The city's prominent food, beverage and entertainment venues are minutes away on foot. Shirvanshah Palace and Maiden Tower are also very close away. İçeri Şeher (Old City) metro station is also within walking distance. Access to Heydar Aliyev Center by metro is very easy. Philharmonic Garden and other parks are right next to you. Baku Seaside Boulevard is the same way. A bank (Turan Bank) for currency exchange and a grocery store for your basic needs are also very close. For more needs, supermarkets are also very accessible. Entertainment venues (Nizami and Resulzade St.) are 5 minutes by walking. In short, everything is super close. This alone is an incredible added value for solo travelers and young couples!

    Room is spacious and clean. Price for 2 nights is worth it. The location is superb as you can find nearby shops, parks, attractions. As well as the famous Flame Towers and Mini Venice are walking distance only. Thank you Mr. Elnur for giving us warm welcome and memorable stay. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and relatives. Would love to visit Azerbaijan again soon!

    I liked the location and the host. The price paid for amenties and location was worth it. The host also came to meet me at thr entrance of the double gates medina and took my luggage to the room. He was always helpful throughout the stay.

    Stayed for slightly over three weeks at the place. Perfect for a solo traveller, in my opinion. The host is a nice guy, vey approacheable and gave a couple of nice tips about how and where to travel. The location is very central, most of the must see stuff was almost around the corner. Also in terms of public transport, there were metro and bus stop 5-10 min walk from there.
