Very nice apartment. We didn't meet Kemal, but his mother (the owner of the building) was there to show us the apartment. Typical of the buildings in the area, the structure is old and shows signs of age. Apparently some guests were turned off by this. But the apartment itself is very nice. Everything is new and nicely decorated. Host is very thoughtful. We really appreciated the house slippers, umbrella, fruit bowl, etc. She even has a prepared binder for the guests with helpful maps of the city with bus routes, etc.
