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 internatianal banking system works there! North areas are more expensive and better.

Tehran is a great city and much more developed that I thought. However, those intrepid nomads willing to come should be aware that internet and currency situation isn't the best because of international sanctions. Iranian people are really nice, educated, welcoming and hard-working, you'll make brothers and sisters here, not only friends. Food scene is great and subway system is surprisingly good. Airbnb doesn't work here but I recommend talking to people through Couchsurfing, some of them will be able to recommend you places or even host you for very reasonable fees. Iran is an amazing country and I do recommend explore the rest of the country -- it's safe, cheap and fun!

Disgusting treatment towards women, it's filthy and hygiene is basic. Don't visit a place like this. There is nothing to do, Internet is appalling. Its just a really bad place to visit never mind live.
