Ismail is a very cheerful and courteous host who came personally to receive us and shared all useful local tips personally. His cheerful expressions overcame his limitations of conversing in fluent English.
Surroundings : a super market, good range of eateries, taxi/ city bus pick up points, a public park, riverside facilities and a 3D, walkthrough model of entire turkey- Miniaturk ..... all these are at walking distance of under 20 minutes.
The property is located over a steep climb/ slope but only of 5 to 7 minutes of walking distance from the main road.. You will feel comfortable in your slippers or shoes. All the taxis/ cars reach till the property so elderly persons or persons with special needs also can reach up to the property.
A cute cozy super market just 50 feet away from the property provides all your basic needs like water, bread, eggs, grains, munchies, fruits, basic vegetables etc. what more, the store is open from 8 am to 11 pm. The store owners are very courteous and helping.
Good range of eateries suitable to your different pocket sizes and moods. A couple of eateries are happy to serve you completely vegetarian food preparations tweaked out of their regular menu options.
We being completely vegetarians from India, had initial apprehensions to enquire about completely vegetarian food but the restaurant owners not only tweaked their menu to serve us but one of them played Bollywood music for us and sang few lines of a Hindi song while we were dining. We had heart full chat with them overcoming the language barriers. The language of hearts is universal!
A beautiful public park on the banks of Golden horn river with boating, bicycling and walking/ running tracks, family picnics made our evenings special as we often sat on the river bank sometimes to watch sunset or enjoy our walks together or sit there silently watching schools of fish swimming with waves.
Ismail’s tips for our local visits and site seeing helped us to chose our visits precisely.
All these things made our stay in this property of 4 nights very comfortable, enjoyable and memorable as a family with our two sons. The cozy stay at this property, evening walks on river side and laid back experience at restaurants gave us what we needed the most ... it strengthened us as family all the more while we are on our journey to drop one of our sons to USA for his undergrad education.
Thank you Ismail.
