I was delighted to stay with Handan and her family. They were gracious hosts and the location was very convenient to public transportation, making it very easy to get around the city. There were several cafés and a boulangerie within a block from the apartment as well. Another big plus was the elevator, so I didn't need to drag my luggage up four flights of stairs!
I really enjoyed visiting with the family in the evenings and discussing current events and comparing our cultural experiences. However, the room allows for privacy if that is what you prefer. It is spacious by Parisian standards, and I was very comfortable staying there.
I hope to be able to visit Handan and Selim in the future. It was truly a pleasure to stay in their home!
