We had an absolutely fantastic time at Alem’s place. It looks exactly like it is in the pictures but that’s not the best part. Alper, who works with Alem, was so amazing and helpful, I don’t know how we would’ve managed without him. He was always available to help us find our way around, spoke to taxi drivers for us too when things would get lost in translation and we didn’t feel like we were visitors.
Along with Alper I have to give a huge shoutout to the building reception. My phone got stolen by a taxi driver who dropped us off to the building. The building staff was so, so helpful in speaking to the police and arranging a cab for me to go to the station and kept asking if everything was okay. I can’t recommend the place enough (also the grocery store in the building is a huge added plus). There’s also a burger joint called rout literally next to the building on the right. I didn’t try the burgers but the fries were FANTASTIC. Thank you Alper and Alem!
