cellentErasmus a Wonderfully simple yet Charming clean bohemian style apartment situated less than 2 mins walk from Dalyan main street and 5 minutes from the river and main square mosque (maybe 10 if you walk at a slower pace) its ideally situated so you have your peace yet everything is walking distance including local dolmus to take you to Iztuzu beach. Erasmus has beautiful views especially if you get a first or second floor room. Both are lovely and I had choice of either. However, the main reason I would return again and again is to stay amongst the beautiful souls who run it and who make your time at Erasmus exceptionally Special. Words don’t bring justice I suddenly found I was on my own as my friend had gone home earlier than me needed at work. I was feeling

We had booked for two nights based on the good reviews, but left early after one night. Why? We didn't feel comfortable at all. For example, we were asked to take off our shoes and then walk barefoot on dingy carpet tiles. The towels we got were probably white at one time, but now they're more yellowish-grey. The whole house smelled musty. Our ”Deluxe” room had a double bed that was only accessible from one side, and the slatted frame kept falling down and the mattress was worn through. In addition, there was a small table, a chair and a small bedside table. We suspect that the mini-balcony is what defines the ”deluxe,” but we're not sure. The decor is very unloving and the furniture ”ripped off”. At night it was unbearably hot in the room, whereupon we opened the balcony door, which especially invited the mosquitoes to pounce on us. The street was insanely noisy (party chants, drunk people and roaring engines) and from our observations the horizontal trade is thriving there. When the ladies slowly finished work, the surrounding businesses (bakery, car care, etc.) started their preparations shortly afterwards. We did not take the opportunity to make a donation at breakfast in the house and cannot rate this. When we checked out, no one asked why we were leaving early. And of course we also paid full price for both nights. Common rooms ok, central location. We would not book here again.
