Not sure why this place has such high reviews. Can you find a better place in Izmir for this price? Probably not—but still, my room was small and worn out, and overpriced (stayed in late August). You do avoid all the bar/club noise from near the sea, but it was hardly quiet and peaceful: it’s near a noisy and very busy highway, and there was terrible construction noise (earth shaking pounding) from the lot next door. I’ve got to hand it to the Turkish construction workers, squeezing every ounce of daylight out the workday—pound, pound, pound, shaking the earth from sunrise until it literally got dark (and it gets dark late in the summertime), no 9-to-5 workday for them!
By the way, the tap water is great here!
