Irem is a great host. She’s quick to communicate and very welcoming. Her apartment is comfortable and incredibly clean. With a nice balcony and a small kitchenette it’s a great size for a weekend break. Irem also goes above and beyond, stocking spare shampoo and conditioner, as well as earbuds, a sewing kit etc.
In terms of the location, we found the apartment to be perfectly situated. It always felt very safe and secure. It’s in a neighbourhood filled with great bars and restaurants - all of this a few minutes from the apartment. It’s then a 45 minute walk, or 15 minute taxi, to the crush of the main tourist attractions.
Essentially, it’s a lovely place where you can avoid the mad crowds, yet remain in at the very centre of things. I would definitely recommend!
