Pinar's friend Zeik came and met as arranged and showed me the place, sorted everything out for me on the crazy market day. It's a basement room overlooking an untended garden. The common area is very small - basically it's a bedsit with shared bathroom & kitchen.

As Pinar says, it's a working class area - I'm not sure about women alone coming home after dark. It would've been much better if Pinar / local was actually living there to give that real feel of living in someone's home.
