Ertuğ's apartment/flat is on the top/5th level of a newer building, very close to the airport, 5-10 minutes of walk from the boardwalk at the beach. An elevator takes you up to the 4th floor. The room I stayed in is actually a study with a sectional sofa that is also used as a bed, and has nice views of Marmara sea. Room is fairly spacious and well lit. The room does not lock and there is no closet or safe. Sofa is very comfy for sitting and sleeping. I did not try to turn on the TV in the room. Across the room thru the hallway is a huge restroom exclusively for the guest's use. Very clean and fresh! There is a tub in there with a handheld shower. The apartment is clean like a whistle. Ertuğ's family is amazingly caring, and hospitable. They made me feel like part of the family. Breakfast was eggs, olives, variety of cheese, bread, tomatoes/cucumbers, Turkish tea and orange juice. Given my schedule, I couldn't join them for dinner which they invited me to several times. Ertuğ and his wife love to chit chat and are very friendly. During weekdays they all leave for work by 8am and are back by 5pm, thereby requiring the guest to plan accordingly, which was not a problem since I had to be out by 8 as well. All in all, I recommend staying with them, and would love to stay with them in the future as well. Ertuğ and his family are always welcome to stay with me whenever they visit California.
