Hatice and her husband are very nice hosts. Her husband even carried up our suitcases! The apartment was exactly as pictured, and it was in a great location with a metro stop right outside the door. The grocery store was a few blocks away. I am sure you can find one closer, though. The street can be a bit loud, but this was solved by closing the windows. Nice neighborhood- we felt very safe. The host provided basic cleaning supplies - dish towels, dish soap, sponges, etc since we were staying there for about 5 days.
