Dear Zaki Thank you so much for your hospitality, I had a great time at your new place

last

weekend. I can't even begin to describe how much I loved your new apartment, but what I really liked about it is the size of the living room, I was impressed by how big it is,

also

it is equipped with new furniture which makes it even more pleasant. As usual, spending time with you is always enjoyable for me, but the two activities that I enjoyed most in my

last

staying were definitely watching movies on your big 4K TV

as well as

exercising at your building's gym, those two activities were the highlight of our weekend. How about we meet again? I know that you were dying to dine at the new restaurant on 11th street, so do you fancy coming over next weekend for dinner there, afterwards we would go straight to the park and spend the rest of the evening there. I can't wait to hear from you all the best Youcef
