Fatih made us feel welcome be meeting us @ the apartment and showing us how to work everything. He had maps of the city and used his phone to call my friend that was in town and I wanted to see. He also recommended an excellent restaurant.
The area was very interesting and it was lots of fun to walkaround. We wouldn't have gotten to know that interesting part of town if we hadn't stayed there. The place was charming and delightful. We had a little grocery store@ the corner that had everything that we needed in small quantities. For example we could buy 2 eggs.
It was very clean & comfortable. We like to sleep with the windows open, it is noisy at night, because people stay up to all hours. We got use to it, and got used to sleeping late @ night. The windows can be closed and there is air conditioning.
