The location is in Kumkapi so it is a very bustling busy area .the little studio room is down a steep hill through wholesalers of shoes and shoemakers which We both love from the Grand Bazaar. Loads of food places even though my Turkish friends say it’s not a safe area we two mature ladies had no hassles or trouble or felt unsafe. Except for the narrow winding stairs no handrails so not good for people with mobility or knee issues to the studio .
We had a major issue with the shower it caught fire but Serhat responded quickly even though it was midnight when it happened. And moved us next day to a much better apartment not far and we were happy with that Thank you.
