The location is situated at the end of a dead end street off the main tourist road. There is a restaurnat and cafe that you need to walk along the side of to get there and there are people that constantly hustle at the busy street to try to get you to go to their place that you will have to ignore in order to get to the building.
The room itself is fine, it's on the third floor with only narrow stairs. It can get a little slippery when it rains as there’s some leaks in the outside area. The downside when I was staying there was that there was construction going on next door, even during the night. I know it's not something they can help and the noise is cut if the windows are closed. The bathroom also lacked ventilation to the outside so it could get a bit humid unless you kept the door open.
The most interesting part was that the host used another person to take care of the day to day, which was the manager of the coffee and hookah place downstairs. They def want you to go to their cafe, which is fine but they kept pushing it on the daily. If you google the cafe reviews you might understand what kind of tourist trap it is and the unexpected up charges and fees that can occur. I wonder if there’s some titfortat for managing the room.
After a week or so the nagging stopped and everything was actually pretty pleasant. I was pretty busy anyways so I didn’t have time to test out my theory.
I was there for two weeks the manager had to use the washer machine for a couple loads, but he only went in after confirmation with you.
The last thing was that I had mosquitos in the room. I think this is just a Turkey thing but they’re vicious. I found and killed them every night but I think a new one followed me home just about every day. I’m not quite sure the solution other than a bug net, as I bought mosquito spray and that didn’t work.
Overall for the price and location, it could be worth it if you know how to deal with constant nagging.
