A common story…

" I got the idea of YALLA HOUSE the first time I was in Damascus looking for a place to stay. My Arabic was very poor and I didn't have a clue about locations, prices and the habits of locals. I began by asking people on the street. After the first 10 ‒very friendly- locals I was eventually introduced to Amar who knew someone, who knew someone, who knew someone else...I ended up in his house, waiting for this friend of a friend. After 2 or 3 hours, being filled with sweets and cups of coffee, someone finally knocked at the door - It was his grandma..
And she also knew someone who had a house. So, she phoned someone and he also knew someone who knew someone who knew someone and so on.
The Sunset was very nice, but I was still “homeless” in DAMASCUS. "

Personal Experiences:

" I wanted to improve my Arabic so I decided to do some study in Damascus. I chose Syria because it has so much history and culture to offer too.  I wasn’t quite sure where to begin on the accommodation front. I didn’t want to spend money on hostels or hotels so I was looking for a room or flat to rent, or maybe an apartment share. I checked on some web forums but not much luck on getting the kind of real estate I was after! Yalla House solved all my problems! Their staff are professional, friendly and they have a great range of options for your stay in Damascus! "
