  Accommodation

  Firstly i need to tell that we can't accomodate couples. The house is 75metersquare settled and has its private garden which is big enough for farming etc. The north side of the house faces the sea and the south side lays on the mountain side. Our lovely and peaceful dog Laika also lives in the garden. Our flat has 2 floors. Guess room is next to living room. We have two cats in the house.They generally stay in the living room especially in the winters.They mostly live outside in the garden at summers except eating times. The kitchen has a multi gas burner, an electrical oven, a two slice toaster, a sandwich toaster, a freezer, a french press, a kettle and the other essential appliances such as pans, saucepans,cups, glasses etc. that can be used by the guests. The guest room has a normal sized double bed, a little wardrobe, a chair, a desk, an electrical stove,a ventilator, an alarm clock and a sattelite mini tv if required by the guest. Our guests can feel free with using any facility of the house.

  What else ...

  We mostly live in the house interact with the guests as friends with hospitality. Our working places are also close to the house. Our neighborhood is so secured and honest. Our next door neighbour also hosts air bnb and work away guests and we generally have international guests that can speak English.
  100 meters walk to the main street that can access the public transport and then just 25 minutes to the tube station. Within a few minutes to the city centre. Our place is also very close to the favorite summer vacation spots such as Urla, Cesme, Seferihisar and Kusadasi.
