I stayed in Barbara's place for one night. The place is not exactly in the city centre but one can reach city centre within 10-15 minutes, thanks to underground metro line... Barbara and Umit are awesome people, they will welcome you in a way that they have known you for years. In a place where you are visiting for the first time, such a welcome makes you very confident and comfortable. Now, there is one genuine issue which I faced, which is, the room is in 3rd floor and the lift was not working, so if you have heavy luggage (like I had), you can imagine... Overall, the apartment is small, perfect for couples. With the room, you get a kitchen and toilet which YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO SHARE WITH ANYONE ELSE which is the best part of this place...I thank Umit and Barbara for hosting us...☺
