    Description

    I'm Neil. From Liverpool in UK, but a Turkish national also: consultant to NGOs and relief & humanitarian projects, vegan (and can cook).

    In April I'll be preparing the upper floors of my house for rental. There isn't a lot to be done - some stuff to move to the ground floor, maybe some light DIY / painting, some deep cleaning, maybe some painting, generally making it attractive. I expect to be there mid-April, for around a week.

    It's a vegan house - that means I'll cook great food, but please don't bring animal products into the space; and smoking only outside, please.

    You'll get to know village life in Turkey; enjoy the beaches. Gumusluk is a relatively unspoiled village on the Agean, with a slow pace of life. (Actually that isn't true - there are no unspoiled villages on the coast, but it's quieter than many.)
