Özden and Cemre were fantastic hosts, doing everything in their power to make me feel welcome and help me get around the city. Both were unfailingly friendly and considerate, even in the midst of a hectic academic life. The accommodation is near a lively street of cafes, restaurants, and bakeries (Başvekil) and a few minutes' walk from the tram that goes downtown. The room itself is simple but fine for the casual traveler.
