“Shymbulak Gateway Homestay strikes me as a find: unexpectedly luxurious for its price, and located in one of Almaty's best areas, close to both the mountains and the city center. I like that it's possible to walk to nearby cafes by the stream. The freshly cooked breakfast also stands out as a real advantage.”
