I recently stayed in an apt at Cascade. I loved being within walking distance of everything: cafes, bars, restaurants, museums, parks, money exchanges, groceries, etc. The most wonderful part for me was the ability to strike up conversation with strangers. Everyone there is just so friendly and accomodating. Also, safety. I arrived at 4am and was stuck outside with my belongings, in the middle of the city, for an hour waiting for my host. I've never felt this safe in a metropolitan area before.

You'll be surprised how people are welcoming. Food is the best thing. Everything is cheap. But consider govt is religous, woman have to wear hijab. I think safety is not that bad, just don't go outside very late, there isn't night life there at all and watch out when you use your mobile in street. Before going there, get a vpn subscription from ExpressVpn (it works great), without vpn internet is nearly useless. It's a great place for a short visit, but not recommended for a long time stay. No i

It's a beautiful small city with nice parks. The population is somewhat used to foreigners since there are many humanitarian agencies with offices in the city. Nevertheless, basically no one speaks English. There is a large mall with several options to eat and work. I've spent days in local cafes without issue although cafe owners were clearly surprised by this behaviour. Regarding activities, they are constrained to the touristic, such as museums, and hamams (saunas). I've heard that ther
