We had a very poor experience with Gursel and his apartment. After arriving in the area and waiting for 40 minutes outside the apartment to be let in (the door was locked and Gursel was nowhere to be found), a German couple also in the building let us in to borrow their phone and so we could search for the room. Gursel told us the apartment was building 9, room 11, but when we entered the building we saw that the rooms only reached 10! After a few attempts we got ahold of him on the phone, and he just kept saying the apartment was 9 and he didn't speak English. We asked if he would meet us outside the building and he refused. My boyfriend ended up knocking on doors inside the apartment till he answered - turned out his room was number 10. But it took knocking on his door 5 or 6 separate times before he answered, and he was playing loud music and talking on the phone. He said nothing and just gave us the keys. Inside, the apartment was quite dirty, though he had put clean linens on the bed. The bathroom wastebin was overflowing with dirty tissues (and not the kind to blow your nose with). The shower was covered in other people's hair and some sort of sudsy soap scum that made things sticky - not to mention the shower room had no lock and the door barely closed. We have traveled many places and stayed in poorer conditions, but we were misled as to the condition of this particular apartment. After a bit of discussion, we opted for booking a hotel and leaving early. We did not stay at Gursel's apartment except for a few hours till we found a new place. The only redeeming factor is that the apartment has a nice view of the city - but that barely makes the stay worth it.
