Kashida - Persian-Style Townhouse with Office

Clean, modern and tastefully finished

Perhaps because we arrived after dark, but it was a little tricky to find the property and the lockbox and to open the garage gate to offload our vehicle. We could not find the switch to the gate. Eventually we found a remote which turned out to be the gate. Instructions could have been a bit more specific, if not clearer.

The apartment is obviously someone's home and has that nice homely feel. It is well designed and fitted out with lots of additional extras like cupboards full of utensils and plastic ware. There are books and games around the apartment and even a printer in the study. Having the study also made a massive difference as we worked from home some days. The garage connected to the apartment was also very useful - particularly given the street parking could be busy. It was a 5 min walk to the train station and 10 min walk to express buses into the city.

The main bed was very squeaky and soft and there is also only one TV in the apartment. The main dissappointment was the lack of any drying lines (we do not use dryers) and a small travel ironing board. There is little around the apartment itself (cafes, bars, restaurants etc) but they may change as the area is still being developed.
