Garen is a very helpful host and we really enjoyed our stay in his home. It was not easy to find a place with three bedrooms and two bathrooms so this was a perfect fit for our family. It had all of the basic amenities for cooking, laundry, etc and the location was top notch ! We enjoyed experiencing a more authentic local home rather than being in a tourist area. Everything you need is only steps away and the Sunday Pazar (market) at the end of the road is amazing !! All forms of transportation are easily accessible and we always felt very safe in the neighbourhood. It was Ramazan while we were there so we did have to embrace the local drummer each day at 3am and frequent noise in the evenings from local celebrations but we embraced that as part of the local experience.
