Dilek was very flexible with our request to extend our stay and let us even keep our luggage at the place when we went to alaçati for a week. She was very communicative and helpful when I asked questions about how to get the airport shuttle, taxi and where would be good to get gifts for my family. There was a strange pipe noise throughout our stay, and initially on our first nights it kept us up. We told Dilek and she tried her best to try to resolve the issue. Although we ended up getting used to the noise, i appreciated how Dilek even asked the people staying below and above our flat to see whether it was coming from their flat. She went above and beyond to help.
In terms of the place - It is a bit smaller than I thought but it’s very clean and cozy. The kitchen shown in the pictures is actually the entrance/hallway of the flat, in case someone thought it was a separate kitchen like I did.
The bed was uncomfortable for me unfortunately…it was very sunken so my lower back was a bit uncomfortable. It also gets quite hot without AC in the flat. Thank goodness there were two fans but it wasn’t enough for us to have peaceful sleeps at night. I was hesitant to open the windows in the bedroom since they were facing the back of a rugged apartment building with a lot of dust and debris.
Near the place there are a lot of good bars and restaurants though so it was nice to just step out and go somewhere without having to take the public transportation - although be prepared for some steep slopes!
