Apartments are awesome, it's small but so cozy and at the same time has everything you may need including fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. It's really close to tons of different cafe, bars so you can feel cheerful atmosphere and it's not that far from the bus station and seaport from one side and various parks from another. The only caveat is to notice the bar on the ground floor of the building which is pretty popular on Friday/Saturday.
Gazi is a great host, it's a pleasure to communicate with him, be sure he would do everything to help you as soon as possible.
