First of all, Devran is a warm and helpful host. His English is very good. The room I stayed in was comfortable.
I was feeling a bit lonely on my trip and the cats were great snuggle buddies. You wouldn’t guess he has cats at all, though, his apartment is so clean.
The view is beautiful, just as pictured. He has a huge balcony that would be especially nice in Spring or Summer.
The location is a 7 minute walk from Halicioglu metrobus station. If you take a bus there, it only takes a 5-10 minute ride to get to a metro station that leads to the rest of the city. His building was easy to find. A little trekking up a hill to get there from the metrobus station but extra easy on the way down. Definitely suggest for any lone travelers who would like a more friendly place to stay.
