The stay was lovely, and the location was great. Barbaros is a fantastic host and helped accommodate us every step of the way. Location is within a 15 minute walk to most major transit sites and several historic sites, and has several restaurants in the immediate area. Would recommend to anyone travelling.
Note: Basement apartment so no windows, general recommendation for visits to Turkey would be to have access to cash (many places take card but certain stores, taxis and public transportation do not)
