We had a lovely stay in this spacious apartment. All the rooms are large and comfortable, and the apartment is well equipped. The area is very local, with a big Carrefour supermarket around the corner and lots of food shops, kebab houses and bakeries to choose from. The only downside is that it is far from the Old Quarter and almost everything you will want to visit as a tourist. It is not walkable really due to the uneven pavements, crazy traffic and hills! However the bus terminal is just across the road, and with the help of the internet we used the buses to get everywhere we wanted to go. It just took at least 20/30 mins. Deniz had kindly provided a bus card, which we topped up each day and used the same card for all 5 of us - it's 2.6TL per person per trip, we just scanned the card 5 times.
Thanks Deniz for your help - especially as this booking was made only 3 weeks before we traveled as we were let down at last minute by another Airbnb host with whom we had booked 9 months before !😠
In summary it's a lovely, beautifully and interestingly decorated apartment, with an excellent host, but a bit far out.
