I stayed with a friend and had a great time. Mehmet is friendly and helpful, and the apartment is very comfortable. We loved coming home after a long day out and sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine or a cup of tea.
The apartment is in a good general location but I might not have felt completely safe coming back at night if I was by myself because the entrance is in a quiet, dark, back-street. On the other hand, the street is filled with children playing during the afternoons, and it's quite lovely to feel like you're in a local, lived-in neighbourhood.
