I was very lucky to find this apartment. I can honestly say that everything was top-notch, very spacious, comfortable furnishings, a lovely balcony with a view onto the Sea of Marmara, an excellent bed, great security features including a safe. The kitchen was very well equipped, I particularly enjoyed using the gas hob. I was working during my stay and the internet service was very good (50mbps) without ever failing.
Domestic services came weekly to clean the place and change the bedding.
The apartment is in a very quiet street. Around the corner there is a small grocery shop and in the other direction an excellent fruit and vegetable market. It was mid-summer, cherries were in season, I ate like a king. Perhaps 5 minutes away I also recommend the Show supermarket for further shopping.
My host, Aslan, was easily available to help when I needed it, even helping me arrange a specialist appointment for an ear infection that would not clear up.
All in all excellent value for money. I look forward to my next stay.
