Arrival

Getting here and letting yourself in

Everything you need on the day you arrive. Check-in runs from 14:00 until midnight and the key waits in a lockbox, so there is nobody to meet.

How to get here

The landmark is the same however you travel: the Moda Life shop on the D400. Turn right just before it — our building stands behind the shop, next to the one with a games arcade on the ground floor. Ours is called HazarApt.

By car from Mersin

Come into Erdemli and turn right just before the Moda Life shop.

By car from Antalya

Come into Erdemli, drive through the town on the D400, turn around at the last roundabout and come back along the D400. Then turn right just before the Moda Life shop.

By intercity bus

From the bus station walk along the D400 towards the town and turn right just before the Moda Life shop. It is a 2–3 minute walk on tarmac with ramps at the kerbs, so a suitcase rolls easily.

Where to park

There is parking for three cars right by the building — a paved area you cannot miss. If it is full, park anywhere convenient nearby; space is not a problem here.

Letting yourself in

You open the flat yourself, any time between 14:00 and midnight.

The entrance

Enter the code we sent before your trip on the keypad by the door. The flat number is in the same message.

The lockbox

It is by the door. Slide the cover down and dial the code. The digits must line up exactly — an under-turned dial can damage the mechanism.

The keys

Press the lever, open the box and take the keys. Then close it, spin the dial to a random combination and slide the cover back down.

The door

The front door can latch shut behind you. Never leave the keys inside, even for a minute.

The entrance code, the lockbox code, the flat number and the Wi-Fi password are sent to you before arrival. They are deliberately not on this page, because anyone can read it.

Inside the flat

Hot water

An instantaneous heater in the bathroom warms the water. The order matters: done wrong, the heater can fail and the shower stays cold.

  1. Open the tap on the shower setting.
  2. Switch the heater to the power you want: 1, 2 or 3. The water warms up gradually.
  3. After your shower, switch the heater off first — back to 0.
  4. Wait for the water to cool.
  5. Close the tap.

Internet

The network is FiberHGW_TP9FCE_2.4GHz, up to 75 Mbps. The password is in the flat and we repeat it in the chat. There is wired Ethernet for a laptop.

Rubbish

The bins are directly opposite the building.

House rules

Smoking

Smoking is allowed on the balcony only, with the ashtray and the door closed. Smoking inside is not allowed. If the rooms smell of tobacco, or there is ash, or the furniture has taken the smell, the cost of putting it right comes out of the deposit.

Looking after the place

It is a small flat and we keep it in good order for every guest. If something breaks, just message us and we will sort it out together.

Checking out

Check-out is by 12:00. Before you leave, please:

  • Switch off the lights, the air conditioning and the water heater.
  • Close the windows and the balcony doors.
  • Leave the dishes clean.
  • Close the front door.
  • Put the keys back in the lockbox and spin the dial to a random code.

Thank you for treating the flat with care.

If something goes wrong

Message me. I do not live in Türkiye, but I am always reachable and handle things myself; there is someone local for urgent situations. The most common problem is the gas cylinder running out: it has no gauge, so it simply ends. I call for a delivery and it usually arrives within half an hour. Occasionally the water goes off in the area — that is a city utility fault, nobody can speed it up, and it comes back on its own.
