Our flight was delayed and we got the wrong bus, making us super later but Fatih waited for us and was very welcoming. We should have listened to his advice and got the metro instead!
The location was a bit far from old town but it was definitely lasses touristy and to the east of the flat, there were loads of buzzing cafes and bars.
Only complaint was that the WiFi was a bit patchy at times but it did manage to fix itself.
Definitely worth a stay!
