Even though we weren't lucky to meet Ekim himself, he sent his mother to meet, greet and give us the keys. Our driver spoke to him on the phone and was easily able to find the flat. The apartment is exactly as it is pictured and even cuter than the photos. Easily accommodates 6, the two bathrooms were a huge plus for the 5 of us. Ekim had a welcome fruit plate and juice waiting for us. Flat had towels, shampoo, hair conditioner, hand soap, toilet paper already equipped. The beds, pillows mattresses and sofa are quite comfy especially after the long walks we took. The flat is a walking distance from Takism Square and Takism Metro Station, is completely surrounded by supermarkets and mini markets that has everything you can possibly need. Very strong WIFI connection that didn't slow down with 5 different devices hooked to it. Ekim was always available to answer our inquiries via Whatsapp.
We took the metro everywhere for our stay ( it was free because we landed the day the coup happened). The nearest shopping mall was Cevahir Mall ( that has all the major brands) and Istikala street which is right off Takism Square. There was a very close Starbucks to the flat and another one in Takism Square.

Whereas we are already planning a trip to another country but if we ever return to Turkey, I wouldn't dream of staying any where else. Thank you, Ekim for making our stay memorable!
