Emrah's place, in an ideal location a minute away from the metro, was everything you'd need as a solo traveler: clean, chill, and decently sized. The room has a little balcony of its own, and there's space at the desk to spread out your things and do a bit of work. The spotless bathroom had a shower that was high pressure and got truly hot. Emrah and his girlfriend were talkative, easygoing hosts. They offered to share a meal they were having as well as coffee in the morning—very friendly! Mandolina, their adorable little dog, was just as companionable and very quiet. An excellent spot!
