We had a great time. The flat was cosy, lovely, and clean, and we felt at home in it straight away. It's in a residential area, so you'll be among locals. And a few small streets away you'll find quirky and unusual cafes full of great bohemian-like people, next to more traditional type places where older locals sit drinking Turkish tea. It's just a short journey away from the major historical sites, and the buses, trams, and trains cost very little to use. Ali was also very helpful to us when we needed local advice. I highly recommend this.
