Kerem is the perfect host. In constant communication. Very friendly. Greets you with a smile. Goes out of his way to show you all of the apartment. It is a most adorable place. Very comfortable. It’s an older little building so no elevator but it’s a short little spiral staircase. There are even mesh screens on a couple windows ( not a Turkish thing) to keep bugs at bay if you like fresh air. There is normal street activity but nothing crazy. You are submerged into Turkish life in this location. Many shops for groceries, quick bites to eat, even Starbucks is near. Super easy to get transportation.
We were so comfortable and will return!!!
