“Мы с удовольствием вернемся сюда снова”
We arrived around five in the morning, and the hosts welcomed us, offered tea from the road, and let us sit at the courtyard table for as long as we wanted. They immediately told us where the city’s main sights, market, and cafés were located. After a short nap, a hearty breakfast awaited us: fruit (especially the watermelon!), vegetables, cheese, honey (!) with a fresh flatbread (only bought on the street!). The portions were huge—enough for one person to overeat if they tried. The guest rooms have a TV, air‑conditioning (essential in Bukhara and all of Uzbekistan given the hot climate), towels, and shower supplies. The mattresses are very, very firm; that’s not a flaw but something some guests might find important. The house’s location is very convenient: a minute’s walk down a narrow alley brings you into the heart of Bukhara, where all the main attractions, shops, and cafés are. The quarter where the house sits, like all of Bukhara, strongly evokes a medieval Eastern town from a historical film or book—very colorful. On the day we left, the hosts allowed us to leave our suitcases and bags with them (our train was in the evening). They’re great, keeping the house and guest rooms clean, orderly, and cozy. It’s a pleasure to stay there, and we really liked it.
