Although I didn't meet Selim personally, he sent his business partner and someone else (to translate) and they were both so kind. Communication with Selim was exceptionally easy via WhatsApp. I barely had time to put my phone down after sending him a msg and got a response!
Appartment was like in the pictures but bigger than I expected. Place was really clean and well kept. Shower was great, never ran out of hot water, with just the right pressure.
Location is very close to the blue mosque (10-15 mins walk) thing to be noted: you DO have to climb a hill to get to the main area. If I didn't have my husband to push our stroller/buggy up that one street, I don't know what I would do. Coming back to his place at the end of the night, downhill, was much better. I would recommend this place if you are fit or will be using taxis, not suitable for the elderly or people like me, who had to carry a baby along with the stroller and diaper bag...
Selim's cleaning lady is really nice and sweet, we met her 3x during our weeklong stay.
There are many kids in the area so it can sometimes get noisy in the late evening/night, since they play right outside the building.
Building/area looks really old but Selim's appartment is very modern and nicely decorated.
Thank you for the hospitality, Selim!
