We got a lift to the apartment, it's very much in the "suburbs". It is easy enough to get to the city centre (grand bazaar, etc.), although it does take some patience to ask people waiting at the bus stop as people don't really speak English. When you first arrive at the address, it may seem like there isn't a home there but just knock on the front door and it's all good.
The apartment was just beautiful. Exactly like the pictures; very clean, spacious and has everything you'll need. There was only two of us, but the apartment will fit four people very comfortably. Elif's mother was very welcoming, however doesn't speak very much English so Elif passed on her cousin's number to help with directions. There are a couple supermarkets very near by, as well as bakeries for breakfast or dessert. If you're game for a walk, a 20min walk straight down the road you catch the bus on will take you to a much bigger market with a bit more variety.
All in all, our stay was wonderful, we didn't want to leave. The print out with helpful tips and bus numbers was great to have as well. Elif is very easy to get in touch with also, always promptly replying.
