Turkey: Finding an Apartment as an Expat

Turkish Muse details her recent experience as an American trying to rent out an apartment in Izmir. “We were aghast. How could she ask for that much? That's ridiculous!, we thought. Then we were incensed. I immediately assumed she was asking for such a high amount — and in dollars, no less — because we were American. “

    Well, i don’t know what did she tell about the price but hell yeah they are expensive at all. Not a big surprise!
