Charming tiny apartment with a great terrace in a perfectly central location. Maarouf could not have been a more accommodating host; arranging a taxi for us from the airport, recommending a few great restaurants in the neighborhood (the burger at The Happy Prince is the best I've had in the region) and always quick to respond to our requests despite being out of town. A note for the light sleepers amongst you: while the sunshine pouring in from the terrace is wonderful throughout the day, it might prove a tad too bright for some of you early in the morning. Our only lament is not having the opportunity to thank Maarouf in person. We'll definitely be back.

Very cute and stylish studio with a terrific terrace. Perfect location in the center of the city and close to the best restaurants and pubs in Beirut, but quite at the same time. Mattress is very comfortable, although I would have preferred it to be on an actual bed instead of the floor. Rouf is also an excellent host: reachable at any time through the phone and (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) and extremely helpful. Would definitely visit again.

Rouf is a great host. He organized our accommodation perfectly. Roaf was available all the time and was extremely helpful and kind. On regard the appartment - excellent location, clean and a great roof top terrace. I highly recommend to stay there if you visit Beirut. Thanks to our host we had a great time there and we'll be back again next summer

This place is a gem! Perfectly located, a walking distance from some of the best coffee shops, restaurants and bars in town. Spent my day working from the dreamy terrace of the apartment and enjoyed it even more at night as I got to unwind in the lovely set up. Rouf is super friendly and accommodating :-) I definitely recommend booking one of his listings as he takes great care in creating awesome spaces for people to stay in and experience.

Rouf is an excellent host who offered to help us at any time. The apartment was nicely located, practical and very tidy. Unfortunately it is also very loud (because of construction work) and isn't as big as it seems like on the pictures.

Absolutely beautiful terrace in Mar Mikhael! Such a relaxed, quiet location but right near the heart of the whole neighborhood. Close to all the shops, restaurants, coffee bars, and other cool places to hang out. Everyone in Beirut is extremely friendly and Maarouf is no exception! He was helpful with every question / request and addressing anything I needed help with. A great great place and the perfect host! Thanks Maarouf!!!!!

Rouf was great and very helpful. Nice view, central location, in a bright and airy apartment

The house is perfectly located and clean with alot of light. It's a great value for money. This is my second stay at one of Rouf's houses and he was very accommodating and accessible. I highly recommend his place.

Maarouf was an excellent host, always responded quickly to my (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) messages, and made my visit simple and pleasant. The pictures are an accurate portrayal of the flat, and the neighbourhood is a great jumping off point. There are frequent taxis on the road outside and restaurants/bars are only a few minutes' walk down the street. The space is very relaxing and you have a great view of the ocean from the large windows. The kitchen is small but practical, and if you wanted to, you could easily take smaller meals there. Everything is clean and the decor provides a fun, kitsch backdrop to your stay in Beirut. I would definitely stay at either of Maarouf's spaces again. Thanks, Maarouf!

Maarouf is an excellent host. He made as feel most welcome and comfortable and provided everything we needed. The rooftop is very nice and comfortable, in a lively, central area with many nice pubs and restaurants.

Excellent location and a great apartment. The apartment provided all the basic requirements. Picture very accurate. Views from the rooftop breath taking. Maaroof was an excellent host and was always available and very friendly. Highly recommended. Will definitely stay here again when in Beirut

Great host with lots of information about the city and things to do! Very cozy apartment and great location. Thanks !

The apartment is extremely well located, feels very cozy, welcoming and its very close to many bars and restaurants in the heart of Mar Mikhael, luckily without the noise from the street. Rouf is an amazing host that tries to make you feel at home, although we couldn't meet he was available online all the time to help with information and tips about the city. He arranged a driver to pick me up at the airport and take me to touristic sites.

Amazing host!

Very nice and cosy place, Rouf was super helpful, reactive and gave us some good tips!

We really enjoyed our stay at rouf's place. Great views and very comfortable. Rouf was a fantastic host and always available with support and great advice to make our stay truly memorable. Highly recommended.

Nathalie was delightful and very helpful. The apartment is gorgeous! Beautifully decorated, clean and with everything that you could need. There is a lovely balcony at the front of the building which is perfect for people watching/enjoying a G&T. The area was just what we were looking for - central with lots of little bars, cafes, restaurants and interesting windy streets to explore from the apartment. Nathalie shared some excellent recommendations with us and was always on hand if we had any questions. She even sorted us out with passes to the art fair at BIEL- which was very kind! I would definitely recommend the apartment and Nathalie to anyone looking for a home in Beirut. We are already planning our next trip to Beirut and would stay here again! Thank you Nathalie

We had a great visit to Beirut, thanks to this sublime apartment furnished with great taste and good advice and Nathalie plans. I highly recommend you do a step at her if you want to spend good moments in a lively neighborhood with bars and very nice restaurant and lovely shops to March mikhael. I went back with great pleasures during my visits to Lebanon! Nathalie thank you.

Beautiful old Beiruti home right in the heart of Gemmayzeh. Nathalie was a great host and made sure that we were welcomed upon arrival in Beirut. The flat is spacious and very nicely decorated. Great bars and restaurants are literally just steps from this apartment.

What a lovely flat! Design amazing, feel of the history and the new life of design and art in Beirut. Nathalie was an incredible host with helping arrange taxi from the airport and just working with us as changes came up in our itinerary. The real test is how Nathalie was so quick to address the water tank and pump to get water pressure immediately up and running. The flat is situated in the heart of liveliness in Beirut and a wonderful place to spend a weekend or week. Truly a special place and would stay there again!!!

Wonderful place, full of soul and unique design pieces. Great location, perhaps a bit noisy but it's because it is in the middle of the happenings of Beirut! The apartment reflects the personality of the owner, who will do everything to make your stay the most enjoyable! Highly recommended.

Amazing apartment in lively and hip area of Beirut. Close to bars, restaurants and shops. This is a true Beirut experience.

Nathalie was responsive and lovely to deal with, and her apartment was perfect - a beautiful old apartment in a great area. Highly recommended.

Very special place in a central location. Nathalie is a great host and her apartment is wonderful to stay in

This was my first time trying Airbnb and it was a great experience. Mad contacted us before our arrival to see what time we would arrive, he was very nice and caring. Once we arrived, we were amazed at how clean the apartment was. It was really like the pictures if not better. Mad showed us how to use everything and he was always available to answer our questions even to the last minute. We are coming back to Lebanon in a week and he was the first person we thought of for an apartment.

Best host with the best place u can call ur home. Truly a wonderful experience to be repeated!

Imad's flat was exactly like on the pictures: fully equipped, nicely decorated, clean, very comfortable, extremely quiet and in a central location at the same time. Imad was an amazing host who spent a lot of time to help me organizing my trip in Lebanon by sharing his travel tips and good dining spots as well as putting me in touch with a perfect driver (which is very useful if you're not familiar with the lebanese driving style...). My best AirBnB experience so far!

The best airbnb experience I ever had , it's in my opinion my favourite place , and I considered not writing a review ,so I always be able to book it , but don't want to be selfish. The place is amazing , very convenient location , design is awsome ,i met both the landlords imad and jeanine, both hard working parents who did an amazing job on the place. I already booked for November when I come back , and look forward to be back at that place!

This is a very comfortable accommodation with high-performance TV and internet facilities.

Imads place was as beautiful as seen in pics! The place is situated in a very nice quiet neighborhood, the location is convenient and in the heart of Beirut! Lots of mom and pops stores are within walking distance same as little bars, restaurants and grocery stores. The apartment is excellent, well furnished, extremely clean, renovated and very modern! You can find everything you need in the apartment from tooth picks to towels. The place was pretty spacious and the balcony was a relaxing place to start the morning! There's no doubt about how beautiful and comfortable the place was. Apart from the Amazing apartment, Imad was an incredible host! Very humble guy, he made sure I know all the amenities the apartment offers and he was very welcoming. We have became friends and met couple times for drinks, I enjoyed talking to him and gain from his knowledge too. If you are planning a trip to Beirut you definitely need to airbnb this apartment and you will not be but satisfied and happy "coming from a picky person". Imad thanks so much for being such a great host and a nice guy and I really enjoyed my time at ur place and ur apartment! Hopefully we will meet soon again, good luck to you and keep the good work up! Much appreciated, Ramy!

Design apartment in a quiet and pleasant. Imad, who was very welcoming and kind will give you information and tips around to make you feel good. I recommend this apartment tastefully decorated and very clean with a nice terrace. I would go back.

This was the first experience to book through AirBnb for my hasbund and me, and Imad made it a very nice and pleasant experience. Location of the apartment is perfect and close to everything. And the apartment itself is very cozy, modern and clean. Imad also was a great host as he helped us with everything, and we had the privilege to meet him and his wife and become good friends. This apartment is very highly recommended.

Great location! - on a quieter residential street a block away from the busy and lively Hamra Street so you get the best of both worlds. Room was clean and spacious.

All of its good

The listing describes it as good for long-term stays, but it was good for short stays as well. Despite being listed on Airbnb, it is essentially a hotel, which is fine, as the rooms are quite comfortable and include a couch, seating area and mini-kitchen. Hamra is a nicearea, especially if you want to be close to restaurants and nightlife. It is about a 30-40 minute walk to downtown Beirut, which has a lot of tourist attractions (Martyr's Square, the Mohammad al-Amin mosque, Souk, etc.). The front desk service is very kind and helpful, and they let me store my bag there after I checked up, so I could do some sightseeing before I got picked up by my colleagues. Overall, very good.

Great place. Nice people with good service. Very central and you can walk around the area easy. Very comfortable bed.

Amazing location and super modern and clean! Staff super friendly:)

Very Good choice

Great place in Hamra, within walking distance from many cool attractions. The place was very clean and spaciuos, I really enjoyed my time here. The staff was really helpful at all times, all was effortless. I would definitely recommend staying at this place!

friendly staff and very clean, only small problem: Studio 44 is a bit away from the night view Mickael March.

very good reception in a beautiful apartment very well located. Jay is notably French, we had filled the fridge (beer, cheese, orange juice and fresh water!), Was concerned about our well being throughout the stay by staying in touch with us as soon as he could . the living room is large and spacious, very bright. the kitchen is well equipped. the beds are very good qualities. the library is full of very good comics! thank you, we will return home when we will be in Beirut.

We spent a week at Jay in November 2013 and enjoyed our stay. The apartment was spacious, quiet, clean, and conveniently located just steps from the Rue Gouraud. One place you can book your eyes closed. Again thank you to Jay for its hospitality and availability! Anny, Augustine, Kim and Jonathan.

I stayed here with 3 other 20-something-year-olds for Palm Sunday long weekend. I cannot say one bad thing about this place, it was an amazing apartment and made our time in Beirut comfortable and easy...Most importantly for us: The apartment has an ideal location just off the main street in Gemmayzeh with all the pubs, bars, and amazing restaurants... also about a 5 min walk from Mar Mikhael, so perfect for going out. Its also a great base for exploring everywhere else in the city. Its really big, beautifully decorated, and everything was clean, fresh towels, sheets, etc. Jay was the best host, and gave us information about what to do in the city, a map, etc. He left us with a stocked fridge, and made us feel welcome to anything we wanted. Over the weekend we contacted him a few times for information about transportation, where to eat, etc. and he got back to us within a few hours at most. I would stay here again in a heartbeat when I come back to Beirut, and I would strongly recommend it to others.

Jay's place was perfect for our needs. The place was clean and welcoming. Jay had stocked the fridge with beer, juice, bread, cheese, and fruit, which was nice to find after our long journey to Lebanon. The location is fantastic, tucked away in a quiet residential street that is just two blocks from Gimmeizeh and its active nightlife and hip restaurants on one side and a short walk to the amazing Sursok museum in Achrafieh on the other side. Jay was also responsive to our needs and called often to check on us and make sure we were happy with our stay.

This is a truly amazing apartment located in the best neighborhood in city. A real gem! The apartment is gorgeous, spacious and very quiet. It has a very welcoming feel to it, a home away from home. It is located in the heart of Gemayze - a very hip area with many great pubs and restaurants. It is a 10 min walk to both Mar Michael and Downtown which makes it situated perfectly in the middle of the best spots in the city. Jay was wonderful. Made us feel so so welcome. Was always available and happy to assist in any way he could. I really couldn't have asked for a better experience. Both the Apartment and Jay are very special, if you are coming to Beirut this is the place to stay!

The stay at Jay is a wonderful experience. Located in the middle of the neighborhood "hip" Beirut, the apartment is provided located in a dead calm, a clear floor. The impression is that it is much larger than the pictures. Jay embodies the legendary hospitality of the Lebanese and pays attention to you throughout the stay.

Jay is the best host I ever met, and his listing is perfect!! Location was priceless, walking distance to all major attractions, tons of restaurants and hip bars within 2mnt walk. The apartment was spacious, clean, well decorated and super comfy. Jay went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect! super communicative, very friendly and helpful. He arranged for a car pick up on short notice & while he was away on business. Filled the fridge with food, fruit, and yes, even beer. Kept checking if we were ok or needed anything and even stopped by to say hello on our last day which was delightful! My only regret is I did not stay longer. Highly recommend you stay here :) I know I will again for sure. Thank you Jay so much!! This was really the best stay I had with my family in Beirut

Great apartment in a very central location in Beirut! Jay was kind enough to arrange a taxi for me so getting to the apartment was super easy. The apartment is very spacious and perfect for a group of friends taking a trip. Thanks Jay for the great experience!

Wonderful place :)

Nana, is the most thoughtful and detail oriented host. She has put a lot of heart and soul into creating an amazing space and she shares it fully. The location is amazing, the ocean was so beautiful from the open windows and the breeze just sweeps you away. So much to explore in this home and little spots to experience. She made sure we had phone numbers for any needs we could want. Also was available if we needed anything, she was very responsive. This home is truly a gift for Lebanon to be experienced!

I wanted to get away from Beirut and be in Batroune by the beach for a few days . I found my paradise in Blue Marlin house. Close to my favourite beaches and fish restaurants the house is really cosy and has a beautiful garden too . The living rooms are super inviting and comfy. Decoration is on point !It s like a little dream. Thank you !! Xxx

Nana's house feels like home, clean, all facilities are there, every corner of the house is amazingly decorated with a unique taste, the beach is very few steps away and u can see it from the big window, there's also a lovely small garden, and all what u may need is few steps around. Nana was very helpful n always reachable and also flexible for an extension and made sure nothing is needed. Would definitely go back to this place:))

Nana was very communicative from the start till the very end. I was contacted by her, the architect of the beautiful home, and her daughter to make sure our party was alright and were settling in well. The home itself was enchanted and stunningly beautiful - the pictures currently posted certainly do not do it justice. We felt transported away from busy Beirut. It's located right at the doorstep of the coast and minutes away from restaurants, shops, and other amenities - yet quiet enough to feel completely secluded. We will be back!

Incredible home, incredible experience.

Great place, Nana is very helpful. The house is beautiful and the town of Batroun a great weekend getaway!

We really enjoyed our stay at Nana's place in Batroun. The house is as beautiful as it is in the pictures while still providing all the amenities you need for a vacation. The sea is just a few steps away and I loved drinking my morning coffee there while enjoying the morning breeze. Nana was also very responsive and provided us with all the info we needed. Highly recommend the place. We'll be back!

The apartment is amazing! A lovely bright open space with everything that you could need during your stay. It's in a great area of Beirut, in Mar Mikhael only 5mins walk to lots of lovely cafes and restaurants. Rouf is an excellent host and made sure that we had all the information about the apartment before our arrival and organised for his driver to meet us at the airport. An excellent host and a fabulous apartment. We would highly recommend it and would stay again.

Lovely loft, great interior, great space, well located. Staying there definitely added charm, style and convenience to my trip. Maarouf is a very welcoming host, even though he was out of town he made sure that I was in need of nothing and that everything went smoothly with the apartment and my visit.

Rouf was very welcoming and succeeded by making the place cozy and comfortable, he was also kind enough to contact us from time to time just to check if w needed anything. The pictures make the apartment look smaller than how it really is, which was another bonus!

Maarouf is a great host. Loved his apartment. Cozy and clean. Will definitely stay there again

Amazing place

We loved our stay in Maarouf's lovely loft in the happening Mar Mikhael district of Beirut. It was very comfortable for the two of us, had easy access to everything we needed on our doorstep and Maarouf himself couldn't have been more accommodating. From the minute we booked our stay with him he was in touch, offering advice on where to eat, even providing a friend who could come pick us up at the airport. He checked in regularly even though he was traveling to make sure everything was going well - really a perfect host!

Definitely one of the nicest places I've ever stayed in. Rouf was amazing and the studio was fully equipped with absolutely everything you could need. It's just a couple of minutes walk from from all the nightlife but far away enough that you could get a good night's rest. Would love to come back.

Cool loft in a great location. The pictures don't do the space justice, it is incredibly open and bright, and the design is amazing. The neighborhood is great as well, with restaurants, galleries, nightlife, and shops all around in easy walking distance. Maarouf was very helpful and was always available when I had questions. Overall fantastic stay!

Rouf's place was just perfect for my needs. The place is exactly as described and despite the small area it is super nicely designed in the middle of Achrafieh, close to everything I need when I am in Beirut. From coffee machine, to a good hair dryer, and nice wifi connection, it has everything you might need, just open the closets and you will find it :-) Super comfy bed and pillows! And the Terrace.... oh my...lazy mornings and some home office in the sun... Dream! I'll be staying at Rouf's place again very soon! Thanks Rouf!

The flat is indeed very small although great views and balcony and location. I would suggest three immediate changes to make it a more comfortable small Space. For sure change the rocks on the balcony as you can only go out there with shoes. Next the shower needs a way for the water to not Flood into the rest of the room. And finally the bed itself should be a proper convertible bed. As it is now, it isn't easy to put it back from being a bed-it leans forward as a sofa so it's tough to sit on. With those modifications the flat can work Great!

Nice apartment in perfect location.

Excellent experience as always, Rouf never fails to deliver!

Hello, I have spent 4 days in this place it is very nice and very clean the host was 100% available and he even gave me alot of advices to visit the city. The doorman is a very polite guy and he helps alot as well.. all is just perfect.

Tour's place was amazing and feels like a sanctuary in the middle of a lively and incredibly eclectic neighborhood. Rouf and his girlfriend were extremely helpful and offered to help with my stay in so many ways. I couldn't recommend them or their place more and I hope to stay there again very soon.

Rouf's is tiny and cozy, the terrace itself is worth a stay as you can enjoy the stunning Beirut skyline at your best! Rouf is effective and his prompt communication make the whole service just perfect!

This was the perfect base for exploring Beirut. Don't be put off by the small size of the room - it is perfect for a solo traveller, excellently designed, and the large (private) balcony is fabulous extra space. Rouf was the perfect host- arranging for my smooth arrival late at night, and always responding promptly to any queries. The location is about the best you could find in Beirut - around the corner from ABC Mall and Sursock Museum, 10min walk to bars of Mar Mikhael, 5 min to Gemmayze.

We had a great time in Pavla's apartment. It has all you need and a wonderful balcony to enjoy breakfast.

Maya is a super friendly and welcoming host. She has carefully prepared some brochures to describe the surrounding, the services and the recommended restaurants. The apartment is private, neat and well located: in the heart of the city, yet the neighborhood is quite at the same time. Don't miss having an espresso at the balcony. It is priceless !! I loved the stay and I would highly recommend it.

Maya was an incredibly helpful host who made sure that my stay was really easy from start to finish. Someone met me when I arrived and explained some things but there were useful instructions and a guide to the area too. She messaged to check all was well but she didn't need to worry as it was wonderful. A beautiful little flat with everything you could need and in a great location. Secure but also easy to find. Highly recommended!

Pavla's was the perfect place to stroll around the city all day and then find rest and relax in this beautiful apartment. Although you can reach for example Mar Mikhael by walking, it's quiet in the night and in the early morning, the sparrows voices in the big tree next to the balcony is the only sound you will hear. The mattress was a high quality one and I loved the bed sheets. Thanks to Pavlas supply, I am now also a big fan of Anis cookies:-) They are best to be indulged on the lovely balcony overlooking the street, accompanied by a freshly brewed espresso that you can prepare with the Nespresso machine in the kitchen. It was an exceptionally great stay in any regard. Thank you Pavla!

Pavla was incredibly easy to communicate with, despite the fact that she was out of town and I never met her in person. There were a few tiny issues while I was in the apartment (the stove was out of gas, etc.) and they were very quickly addressed by Pavla and Fadi. The apartment is comfortable, with a lovely balcony for evening breezes, very efficient air conditioning (important for summer), and a well-equipped kitchen. The location is great: quiet, beautiful and historic, but close to everything.

Pavla was an amazing host. Id very highly recommend her. Her apartment was spacious and comfortable. She was also incredibly generous. Due to a series of terrible travel glitches we arrived four days late--it took us six days to travel from the US to Lebanon. Paula was incredibly supportive during our stay and even offered to let us stay for several days for free on the other end of our visit after we told her we had extended our stay to make up for lost time. She went way above and beyond the requirements for a host and we are so grateful to her.

This apartment was a great base for our stay in Beirut. There's not much traffic noise (this could be a problem in some other places). Well-equipped kitchen, good shower, comfortable bed, reliable wi-fi. Liked the balcony too.

The apartment was great. Fantastic location. There was a wonderful Lebanese restaurant on the same road and very close to the best bars. The apartment had a lovely balcony and Maya gave us a lot of really useful information. She was always on hand if we needed any advice. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Wassim made us feel welcome from the time we booked - he offered to arrange a hotel taxi and consistently ensured that the apartment was maintained during our stay. We hope to make it back soon!

Everything was as described. The apartment is super central and easy to find. It's very comfortable and pleasant. Wassim was super helpful and available to answer questions at all times. All was perfect.

Very nice flat and an even nicer host! He even arranged daily housekeeping! Can definitely recommend.

Wassin is a great host. He sent taxis to meet us at the airport, it was easy to find the apartment, and the location is perfect. This is our second time here and we will be back!

This has definitely been the best airbnb stay ever: the host, Wassim (and Ramzi as well) respond almost instantaneous, ready to help no matter what we asked for. They provided great tips where to go, what's cool, what's not. Beirut has its drawbacks: constant power cuts, and traffic congestion; the apartment is a such a pleasant haven when the city gets too much. I am definitely coming back ...

We had a great stay in Beirut but the apartment was definitely one of the downs: thermal and acoustic insulation is inexistant (cold and noisy, thanks to the construction in the "garden" and the minimal gas heater in the living room), countless issues with electricity (the cleaning lady told us that because it was a generator we couldn't use any appliance like hair dryer, kettle or individual heaters... when you try to plug something, the electricity is down for 15 minutes) and very basic amenities overall (no wine glass, only a few cups, some furniture left broken in a corner...) Definitely not a winter place but amazing location.

Wassim has been one of the greatest host I have been able to meet. He has been extremely helpful, organizing trip from/to airport with taxis, answering all of my queries before/during our trip to Beirut. We were 6 persons living in the apartment during 8 days, and I can say that each and everyone of us had such a great time in Beirut because of the place. It is extremely well located, and within walking distance to DownTown. Mar Mikhael neighborhood is really animated, and we were able to try most of the bars in the street. And the rooftop makes the stay even more memorable. Would definitely recommend that place to stay in Beirut. Thank you so much Wassim for everything you did!

The perfect apartment in the perfect location. Spacious and with everything one could possibly need for a weekend in Beirut. Wassim was the perfect host and was always offering his help and advice. I highly recommend staying in his apartment, we will be back again!!

Ralph's appartment is very cosy and welcoming, thanks to him, the cat and the amazing rooftop terrace (a calm green spot inside Beirut, the best place to start the day with lebanese coffee). The room is very bright and clean, there's everything you need. Ralph is helpful and an amazing water-energy-saver and recycler! I can highly recommend this AirBnb, felt safe and like at home.

Great stay at Ralph: his apartment looks onto large terrace, where we spent a lot of time; Ralph shared with us her best addresses and gave her little advice. The room gives both sides on the terrace is very pleasant; The double bed is comfortable. The apartment is located in the heart of Gemmayze, super convenient to move around a few minutes walk of bars Mickael de Mar, just minutes from the Place des Martyrs, perfect! Ralph kindly arranged a taxi back to the airport. If I have the opportunity to return to Beirut, I would like to stay there again!

My sister and I stayed with Ralph for two nights. We had an amazing time. Mostly due to our super cool host and his lovely cat Oohoo. The apartment itself is so lovely, and it's spotless. The terrace is the perfect place for chilling out, smoking or having a beer. Apartment is also in a perfect location. If your looking for a relaxed place to stay, you should stay with Ralph. He is amazing and me and my sister have definitely made a new friend.

It was great staying at Ralph's for a couple of nights. He was a really helpful and easy-going host. The flat is in a great location, perfect for exploring the city. The room was comfortable and spotless. And the roof terrace is amazing! Shame we couldn't stay any longer - though I'm sure we'll be back!

Room and lovely terrace ideally positioned in Beirut. Everything was there to make the stay more enjoyable. Ralph is friendly, available and good advice to visit and move around the country. To recommend.

Great stay, perfect location and excellent welcome in Beirut!

A Home at the top! Ralph is a very nice host, associating you naturally meals and drinks with friends, and when you are traveling alone in a strange country, it appreciates, necessarily. Great room, great garden terrace, nice neighborhood with all amenities (wide choice of restaurants, bars, grocery stores ...), near the city center. In short, ideal, you can stay with pleasure, without hesitation. Thank you Ralph!

Ralph is quite a host and it was a real pity that I had to leave his place early. Despite the fact that I contacted him the day before I wanted to move in and I was his first guest, everything was ready when I got there. We chilled out for drinks on his terrace, ate together, it was really swell. And the flat and room is great value considering it's central Gemmayze and it's a neat and trendy flat. I can't recommend Ralph or the place highly enough. Ralph I'll pop by for a drink when I'm back in Beirut. Cheers, A

Great place in the best part of Beirut! If you're sensitive to noice this is not the perfect location since the night life is very intense. Close to many sights in Beirut and very nice atmosphere with the best restaurants and bars in the city within spitting distance.

Located in lively area of Beirut. Nathalie was very helpful and quick to respond. Great place!

Thank you Nathalie once again ! It was a great stay in the best location of Beyrouth for visiting and fun . See you soon !

Excellent host, beautiful house and Nathalie is a true pleasure to work with. Thank you so much!

This place is just perfect. You want a cozy little joint in the heart of the city. Parking can be tricky but with plenty of paid parking lots around, you are never left lacking.

Excellent welcome, logeent is located in a very lively and very nice area.

Great location. Cosy flat. Nathalie was great. Would definitely go again.

Everything is easy with Nathalie :) Excellent home and excellent hosting. We don't have a problem during our vocation. If you will go to Beirut, certainly you prefer to stay this location. Thank you Nathalie for all, i hope see you again.

Nathalie was a superb host and very easy and quick to communicate with. She booked a cap for us from and to the Airport. She was very flexible for any adjustments and had tons of tipps for places to visit. The apartment is well located with lots of restaurants and bars in the area and on the same street (which can be noisy but didn't bother us) It was clean and had a A/C which is rudimental in my eyes. So all in all we would love to come back and recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Beirut.

I definitely recommend this apartment! Pros: 1. Nathalie. She's very accommodating and has tons of awesome suggestions. 2. Location. The neighborhood is very trendy and has everything you'll need. 3. The roof. Beautiful views all the time! 4. The flat. It isn't luxurious but it's perfect for a young couple, and it has all the basics. Cons: 1. There is wifi but it's weak. 2. The rooftop attracts a lot of visitors so at times the space isn't super private. 3. The electricity is backed up by a generator, which is great when the power cuts out every day (this happens everywhere in Beirut), but for those 3 hours each day while the generator powers the building there's no AC or hot water in the flat. That said, other properties don't have generators which means no electricity at all for 3 hours, so best check before you book. Overall, the pros far outweighed the cons for us, and we would stay there again for sure.

This apartment is in the best location for access to Mar Mikhael's bars and restaurants. It's a great place to stay - very comfortable with a large sunny roof deck. Nathalie is super responsive and helpful.

Had a great time staying at Nathalie's place. The location is as central as it gets. All the bars and restaurants are literally downstairs from the building. The apartment itself was very clean, comfortable, cosy and quiet. Nathalie was very responsive with communication, helped with any queries I had. Would definitely recommend her place to anyone looking to stay in Mar Mikhael.

Very nice place and helpful landlords!

A lovely studio in the heart of the city. Very tastefully and simply decorated, with a large, inviting roof terrace that is also beautifully arranged. Nathalie was an attentive host, who made sure my arrival and departure went very smoothly. Would highly recommend staying in the flat.

Nathalie’s flat was perfect for my two week stay in Beirut. The flat is as described, clean and self contained and in a lively location in the middle of Mar Mikhael. Nathalie was very helpful at recommending things to do and see in the area, and also really helpful when I needed anything, such as more bedding and taxi back to the airport, and got in touch to check how I was getting on, which was nice. Communication was excellent. The flat itself is pretty basic, but had everything I needed for the time I was there, hot shower, clean bedding, small kitchen, good wifi (for Beirut!). It’s a great location for getting around the city. The only downside was the noise at night, Mar Mikhael is amazing for going out in with some of the best bars on your doorstep, but the sound of the street life does travel up to the flat at night. Beirutis party hard! Which of course is great, but can be difficult if you’re on a working trip like I was. I had earplugs so was relatively undisturbed, but good to bear in mind if you’re looking for somewhere a bit more secluded. But the flat was really perfect for me as a single traveller, I’d recommend it as a base for anyone visiting the city.

Beautiful apartment right in the heart of everything. Staying here truly gave me the experience of feeling like a local. With a grocery store directly downstairs and shops/bars minutes from your door this is a fantastic way to explore one of the liveliest areas of Beirut. The rooftop view was one of my favorite parts! Nathalie is a wonderful host, answered all my questions in a quick and through manner, and she is offering a wonderful expedience to anyone who is lucky enjoys to stay here while in Beirut

Nura is a really nice host. She is quite thoughtful and kind that she prepared everything for us, including map, suggestions and some other things that helps us during our trip. I really like her approach that she would like to meet our expectations, i.e. she suggested to change heating conditions to make us comfortable. She even arranged pick up from airport and prepare some city tips for us! Home is fully equipped, it has two big separate rooms, very big living room and again fully equipped kitchen. Kitchen covers everything that you can cook everything quickly. Home is also covering iron and hair dryer! You don’t need to bring yours. Location was great you may reach everywhere by walking. There is a big supermarket very close to home so that you may go shopping and prepare your own cook. I strongly recommend Nura’s place to stay, she is really great host!

We had a great stay at Nura's appartement in Achrafieh. The place was spacious, clean and nice. And Nura is a wonderful host - friendly and helpful. I can highly recommend staying at her place.

We are really satisfied from our stay in the apartment. It was very spacious, bright and clean. AC worked very well. We haven't seen our host Nura but we have been very well welcomed by her neighbor. We highly recommend this apartment and hope to come back again in future.

Nura is a great host, punctual and at disposal for any need or advice. He apartment is lovely and super value

Thank you, efficient and nice to live at your place, clean and we felt at home directly. Good to share for 4 persons and nice equipment in the kitchen. Would need some better plumbing system, but guess it is an overall problem in the house. Best regards Jonatan

The flat was everything we could have hoped for and more. The location, the setup, the cleanliness, the well-stocked appliances/toiletries, and the amazing hostess, Nura, all made our trip to Beirut a vacation to never forget. Whether lounging on the balcony or cooking in the newly remodeled kitchen, we always felt welcomed and more than relaxed. The supermarket and local stores were stocked with all our needs, although we were rarely in want of anything staying at Nura's place. She picked us up from a convenient location, so we did not get lost in the taxi from the airport and from then and there, our vacation bound for success. We could conveniently find taxis when venturing out either on the street or via the already installed app on the complimentary iPhone Nura gave us to borrow during our vacation. We were also a 15 minute walk to ABC mall and Starbucks in Sassine, so enjoying a leisurely morning of coffee was always an option if we ever felt the need to leave the comfort of the balcony or couch. Our hostess was so accommodating that every few days she would ask if we needed anything, and she even assisted us in finding a taxi to Baalbek and to do sightseeing. I guess I could go on and on about the perfection of Nura's place, but I can genuinely say we will be staying here EVERY TIME we return to Beirut. In fact, we already made our return plans!

Nura was a great host. The flat was very clean and has spacious rooms and living room. Loved having my morning coffee on the balcony and looking at the mountains. Location is central in Ashrafeyeh, close to ABC and many restaurants and Mar Micael. Nura was very helpful and told us where to buy the yummiest manakeesh.

Nura, the host, was very welcoming and met me personally to give me the keys, show me the apartment and explain where everything is. The apartment is HUGE and very bright and spacious, has great views of the city on both sides and you'll feel like you are a local. The location is unbeatable in the middle of Achrafieh, 5 minutes from a huge supermarket and mall (though there is a bakery and a convenience store right across the street as well). The only drawback was the lack of designated parking though that's common in the city - so you need to plan for that if you're renting a car, unless you'll Uber/taxi everywhere which is very accessible and cheap within the city. Everything else was fantastic and we enjoyed our stay very much. I must mention that the building is also very secure with 24 hr security cameras installed and a locked gate to the building. Thank you Nura!

This is a great place as a base. The location was ideal in that it was walking distance to great restaurants and bars but tucked back a bit so none of that noise or craziness made it back to the apartment. The location can make it a bit of a challenge to get a taxi or for the uber to find you but a short walk gets you to a busier street. The view from both inside the apartment and the deck were great as well. The place was probably a bit smaller than the pictures seemed to capture but otherwise worked out well. Candice responded to our multiple questions within a few minutes and was always available if we needed anything. Can't wait to come back to this amazing city.

Amazing apartment with a super cool terrace!! Thank you Candice for your assistance and warm welcome! Will definitely contact you next time we visit :)

Candice was truly amazing; very helpful and responsive no matter what time we reached out. She is very easy to deal with and arriving/leaving the apartment was super flexible. Don't count much on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps though as it's off by a couple of KM's! The studio itself is the same as described, very cozy and comfortably spacious for 2 persons. The view is amazing at night, and the terrace space is incredible when the sun is out : ) Occupants of the building are very friendly as well. One tip to girls and it applies to anywhere in Beirut, just be watchful and careful for your bags when walking the non-main streets as they are almost always not lit, and the building is a few blocks away from the main road.

Candice was a very attentive host. She answered all our questions very quickly and made us feel very much at home. She helped hook us up with a driver (Amal) who was also a great individual to work with. He took us on several trips, picked us up at the airport and helped give us an insight into Lebanon we would have otherwise never received. We really enjoyed the roof top apartment!

Overall my experience was good, it's a very cozy house with a very nice sitting on the terrace and very nice view of the mountains and it's lights. The bed is extremely comfortable and the AC is perfect in this weather. It's on the last floor obviously but there's no elevator so keep that in mind if you can't go up the stairs. Candice is awesome she was very helpful and very responsive, great host. It was lovely staying there.

This apartment is in a great location- really atmospheric roof terrace and views. The area is great. Central, but quiet. Ace!

We stayed here for 4 nights. The apartment is the perfect size for a couple, very cosy. It has an amazing big terrace with a beautiful view of real life beirut. The building is really well located, Mar Mikhael is a short walk. Candice is very responsive and a fantastic host. I can't thank her enough.

The stay at Candice's apartment was very satisfying. Me and my girlfriend enjoyed the lively area and the beautiful rooftop we had access to. Candice was very helpful with everything and made sure that our stay was perfect.

If you are expecting a "regular" Airbnb experience and host then this is not it! My stay at two of Rouf's places proved that with more attention to details, being accurate, reachable and just pleasant, an Airbnb experience can move from regular to memorable! The place is small but tastefully setup and the terrace complements it with a great outlook on the neighborhood. I enlisted the service of the driver that Rouf recommended and he made my stay even more pleasant and removed the airport drop off/pick up anxiety that can set-in sometimes in unfamiliar places. I would definitely be back to explore more of Rouf's places and soak in even more of Beirut's beauty and charm.

Everything was great!!

Thank you Rouf! Your place is a perfect nest in Beirut. Location and amenities....i am so inspired by the space and how creative you are....what a wonderful experience meeting you! thank you. until soon.

Rouf has been a perfect host : he made himself available for every part of the organisation of our trip : Tips for restaurant .... He really contributed to make our stay in Beirut super great ! Thanks :)

I have been traveling around the world for years. Rouf's place was my all time favorite! It is an immaculate, cozy newly renovated, modern, pied-a'terre and in an AMAZING location. You can walk to cafes, stores, yoga, ABC and several other restaurants. It is located in a prominent neighborhood and extremely quiet which is perfect for a traveler like me who needs to concentrate and work some while in the flat and I love to sleep in and there was no crazy outside noise for once which to me was a dream come true. It is a chic studio which reminded me of my Manhattan apartment in Chelsea. It is the optimal size for the solo traveler or for an intimate setting for a couple. I cannot tell you how perfect my stay was! My boyfriend locked himself out accidentally and Rouf came to the rescue immediately with no complaints at all! Rouf is the promptest, nicest caring host I have encountered on airbnb thus far in his way of corresponding to us ( his guests). I loved his place so much I already booked it for my Christmas vacation here and it is August. Lol. Perfectly smooth process. 10/10. Thanks, Rouf! Cannot wait to return.

Wonderful host and well equipped space!

We loved this cute little apartment. Everything fits together like a puzzle, and is so enjoyable to live in. The location is great, super close to Gemmayze, Mar Mikhael, and downtown. Rouf was incredibly accommodating and helpful for our first time in Lebanon, and really made sure we got the most out of our visit.

Wow. Rouf was such an amazing host. His clear communication, helpfulness, and high level of knowledge of Beirut all made it a pleasure to stay with him. I'll be sure to be in touch with him the next time I'm in the city.

We had a great time at the apartment! We stayed for just under a week for holiday and some work and loved our stay. The place was lovely--clean, airy, beautiful light and space, and very central, right in the middle of mar mikhael. Natalie was very responsive and helpful beforehand and whenever any questions at all came up during our stay. Would highly recommend!

We had a great time at the Bright Loft in Beirut. It's a beautiful, spacious apartment and it felt like home immediately. The place is right in the thick of things, amid the bustling bars and restaurants of Mar Mikhael. Our taxi pickup and communication with Nathalie was easy and worked well and we will definitely be coming back.

The apartment was great! It's right in the center of Mar Mikael. We loved the layout! Two sitting areas and the beds sleeped great. We were even able to enjoy the Sun on the rooftop. If you're ready to party this is the place. Bars line both sides of the street and there are cafés for your daytime fix! Its easy to find a taxi to take you anywhere you want to go. We would definitely stay again!!

The flat is gorgeous! The location is ideal! We had such a lovely time in Beirut. The only thing to remark on is the shower which has very low pressure.

The flat is simply perfect. It's in a great location and although on the main road in Mar Mikhael surprisingly quiet! Nathalie, Wassim, Ramzy and Petra were amazing and were responsive and attentive during my entire stay. The flat is very spacious and can accommodate just one perfectly, as I did, or a few friends. My sister visited the flat and said she would want to stay there on her next visit!! The roof top is priceless!! I will certainly be returning to Mar Mikhael and hope that the flat is available. Thanks also to Sabah and Fifi who were tremendous during my arrival.

Loved staying there ! The apartment is spacious and very cozy, also it happens to fall on mar mikhael street which is filled with all the nice bars and restaurants ..The owners are extremely friendly and very welcoming .. Would definitely stay there again ❤️

great location! Great host! This is the best place to stay in Lebanon.

Nathalie is a great owner, she made us feel that we were staying in our own apartment. The flat is well decorated located in the most popular street of Beirut for bars and concept restaurants. I highly recommend Nathalie.
