I lived in this house for four full months and experience three different seasons. Being a student, I needed an affordable long term accommodation that is near all the amenities and public transport. This house is exactly that! Some might say that the neighbourhood is unsafe but I disagree. I have come back alone close to 1 am in the morning even though I am a woman and there have been no issues. When summer comes, the children play on the streets outside their houses with their mothers sitting by the door gossiping. I feel like that reflects the life of the city. Practise caution and common sense and nothing bad will happen. The location has multiple grocery shops around the corner, two of which are open 24 hours. On Sundays, there's a Farmer's market down the street which is something you have to experience! Having Fatma and Hasan around actually made me feel safer too, knowing I have two members of the community in the house. They're a warm couple and the best hosts you can wish for. The house is a charm for its age with Fatma's interior design skills, and the attic room is the best value for buck in my opinion.
All in all, I highly recommend this place as a home, especially for anybody looking for long term stay in a central location.
