It was a pleasant experience to be back to the Space Apartment almost after four years (We haven't been to Bangladesh since the COVID). Since we first discovered the Space Apartment in Dhaka around 2016 as a boutique hotel like apartment --- which reminded me of my pleasant experiences of living in traditional, friendly family-run "pensions" in Firenze and Verona in the 1980s -- we have always found staying at the Space very comfortable due to various reasons. Besides good food prepared by it's Chefs Suren, Richard and others -- who have always gone out of their ways to prepare varieties of breakfasts to our liking -- all staff have also been so helpful and friendly, they have tried to do everything they possibly could to make our stay at the Space as good as it possibly could be. In this respect, we fondly remember the services provided by Messrs. Rajon, Shawon, Shihab and Rony from Foods and Beverages section as well as Messrs. Kamrul Islam, Nazmul Islam and Sharif from the House Keeping section. From the Front Office Monirul Islam and colleagued as well as the staff from the Security section have also been very courteous and helpful. For any tourist(s) visiting Dhaka the Space Apartment's spacious rooms with plenty of natural lights in a relatively quite area of the leafy suburb of Gulshan 2 would be a special attraction (We, indeed, loved it). Another plus point is its strategic location-- walking distance to the main shopping area around the Gulshan 2 crossing. Last but Not Least, a note of praise for the Proprietor and Chairman of the Space Apartments, Mr Bazlul Haque, and his able son Arman for taking personal as well as aesthetic interests in doing their best to maintain/sustain the 'family friendly' nature of their boutique apartment- even against the backdrop of the post-COVID volatile business situation in Dhaka. I am sure the new Deputy General Manager Mr Mohammed Tarek has been a great help in that endeavour. We are also thankful to Ms Jhumpa from the Marketing section for enticing us back to the Space Apartments when we decided to fly to Dhaka after almost four years.
