We stayed for 4 nights at Firat’s place. We were very impressed by Firat’s quick response and him coming down to meet us at the apartment. The space is very beautifully decorated as shown in the pictures. We were able to fully relax, cook some nice Mediterranean meals and enjoyed the buzzing location. It’s quite a lot bigger than we expected. Generally very happy with our stay. Just a few things to note:
1) There are no air-conditioners in the apartment, only fans. This should not have been an issue as the apartment is incredibly well aired and we did not suffer from the heat. We did however get badly bitten by mosquitoes as with the heat we could not close the windows; it’s a problem for people who are sensitive to insects bites. AC would have helped as well as other ways to mitigate mosquitoes problems such as bug screens on the windows or mosquito nets.
2) The speaker of a nearby mosque is very close to the bedroom windows; there are calls to prayer throughout the day and most noticeably, 5:30am every day. It was very loud but luckily we did manage to fell back asleep for some of the mornings. Not a problem for those deep sleepers!
3) Unfortunately we didn’t really utilise the beautiful terrace as it’s a few floors up from the apartment.
