Apartments are fantastic, spotlessly clean, staff are very friendly and helpful. apartments are outside the city by about 15 mins but there is a free shuttle several times a day or taxis are cheap and the service bus which stops outside is even cheaper. I would recommend a visit and loved Baku.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

A good city and its people are kind and friendly, but most of the population does not know the English language, which makes it difficult to communicate with foreign tourists often. Also, I liked it as a very safe city

We had an excellent tour guide with us for 3 days. He was very friendly and hospitable and wanted to make sure we had the best experience. Some locals treat tourists differently, but our tour guide was making sure that we got equal treatment.
