If you want a home that truly gives you the feel of living in an authentic Turkish neighbourhood, this is the place. I cannot say enough to recommend the charming and stylish space that Asu has created. I especially appreciated her balcony, which is a space where a writer could sit for hours and work on their next book. We also loved the living room, which is a perfect place to play a game of chess or read a book, by the balcony. A curious, interesting feature about this home is that it’s built on a slope… So, the entrance is underground, but the balcony is one or two floors above the ground. For me this added to the home’s unique charm.
Asu had also put in many personal touches to make us welcome. There were chocolates. But we thought the white lilies were especially beautiful.
Enough cannot be said about the hospitality of her family. Asu’s sister was there to meet us, standing outside looking for our taxi in the rain. So, as you can imagine the check in process had absolutely no problems for us and check out was equally smooth. Subsequently, when we felt slightly cold, her parents were immediately there with additional heaters, and after that there was no problem. Finally, we had left our coffee container at their place, and Asu made it possible for us to come back and collect it later.
Throughout the experience, Asu’s communication was excellent and almost instant. I also needed to reschedule travel plans just before the travel date because of unexpected changes at work, and that was done very smoothly.
I would also like to confirm that her home has all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. Her home has a full kitchen and good facilities.
Finally, I would conclude by saying that Asu has a truly charming home. The hospitality demonstrated by Asu and her family make this a home away from home.
