We had a great stay at the apartment. Karin was not in town but we were shown in well by the extremely helpful lady who attends to the place. The place itself was charming and full of character, loved the entryway which was so pleasant and welcoming with flowers and the scent still lingers in the mind. The beautiful Anatolian rug collection and the artwork perfectly blended with the living spaces and added to the period charm. The place itself was walking distance to a lane of Chinese/ Turkish food joints and a convenience store. Overall the neighborhood was nice but for parts where just being a bit careful would help just as in any city. On the overall description though it was an independent unit with a kitchen and ensuite facilities but the given the overall character of the place a private room may have been a better description.... but nothing takes away anything from the experience, comfort and the privacy of the place. We would love to be back.
