 Accomodation needed for mature student! Hi all, I'm Sue from the UK but have been living on the south coast of Turkey now for 6 years. I've finally been given my freedom and have signed up for a Tömer Turkish language course in March 2008, so I'm looking for somewhere to live from about 4th March to 4th April. I will be studying in the Taksim area and so need something within easy reach. I'm a clean and tidy soul, 46 years old and rather partial to a drink or two

Hi Sue!
Only sorry my new place doesn't have a spare room but I'm sure we'll meet up whilst you're here.
Obviously you will be busy with your homework, but when you have a spare moment, let me know!
Good luck with the room/flat search!

Hi born2b Good to hear from you and I'll certainly be in touch - probably more than you realise right now! I'll let you know how the hunt goes, fingers crossed for me!

Hi Sue
make the best of your time in Istanbul. If you get it right, with the help of the people here on he forum, you will have a hell of a time in Istanbul. Good age group, any way. Most of the people here are much younger than us ...

Give us more details (budget, smoking, sharing with whom) and if you are not too special, people are going to come forward with proposals.

Just nosey... Considering the Jonathan & Utabe have responded too you've got off very lightly. You can thank me later

Sue,
Congrats on the freedom and welcome to the community. I've been working on mine for years, but my wife is strongly against it.

Sue,
I have an extra room that probably will be empty at that time. I'm also a mature one, a bit more so than you. I'll PM you with details.

I'm sure you've already looked but check out craigslist - always flat shares in the Taksim area
