The first thing you smell outside is stinky meat smell Once you enter the building, flies everywhere. The building does not have an elevator, and the apartment is on the top floor. Akif was communicative and kindly had the fridge filled with breakfast foods.
The main street is hard to reach and filled with uphill climbs, and there is a fish market beside the front door.
Pictures are extremely misleading, I could not even stand up on the roof, and the apartment is much dirtier and has broken furniture (broken bed, closet). The entire night there was a strong smell of sewage that filled the entire apartment, making it unbearable for my family to sleep.
