We were welcomed by Ali at the apartment. The drive from the airport was in a mercedes 11-seater and very comfortable. My sister had stayed her a few months ago, and we booked on her recommendation.

The apartment is spacious and in a great location. There is a 9kg capacity washing machine and a clothes dryer which can be folded out. Across the road is a lovely cafe [Kadirga Cafe] which is perfect for breakfast etc. There is a mini supermarket, internet cafe, pharmacy, cash points etc all within walking distance.

The grand bazaar is a 15 minute walk, mainly uphill. Good exercise.

Barbaros had an amazing restaurant a few minutes walk away. The food is excellent quality.

We really enjoyed our stay.

We loved the cats which were in the streets and the locals were friendly.
