Hatice could not have been more accommodating. We arrived early and my mobile wasn't working but a neighbour spotted us and called Hatice who was there in no time. The apartment is a block away from a very busy road but we never heard any traffic. The area looks a little run down apart from Hatice's very smart cafe La Perla. The local shopkeepers were friendly and we never felt threatened. There are a lot of stairs to climb to the apartment Sapphire ... however, on reaching the top, the views are stupendous. I almost didn't want to go out each day. The apartment was exceptionally clean and exactly as listed with lovely fresh linen and an open and airy feel. It is simply but attractively furnished and has every possible amenity including an efficient powerful shower. Hatice took time to explain where everything is - the tourist sites, locality, transport etc as well as teaching and making us Traditional Turkish tea. She was always available at the end of the phone if we needed her and we felt comfortable and secure in her apartment.
