Flat required to rent and room to rent in a house in Bornova.

I say normally I don't do free advertisements but as long as they are not a business and are requiring this for a good cause then I will give them a free plug. The fact of the matter is I am big on random acts of kindness this year, so I guess this is kindness. OK, so here is the ad and the first and maybe last good deed of the year.

Do you have an extra room in your flat which you'd like to rent to a male English teacher? If you have an apartment in Izmir and would like to find someone to help pay the expenses, please send an email to j.miller.rapp(at)gmail.com

Are you a woman seeking safe, quiet, furnished accommodations in Izmir until August/September 2010? Share a 3+1 in Bornova with a native English speaker. You will have your own private room in a great neighborhood; public transportation and shopping is VERY close. 330TL a month, plus utilities. Photos available. j.miller.rapp(at)gmail.com

If you are interested in either of the above, either the extra room in a flat with a male English teacher or the accommodation in Bornova apply to the email above remember to remove the (at) and change to a @ (this is just to stop automatic spamming machines from auto spamming her email address).

Good luck to all who apply and that concludes my public service announcement.

Wanted: in Izmir short-term accomodation for rent

Hello people,
I hope all you readers out there have started the year happily, healthily and safely. I'm pretty sure 2007 is going to be a much better year than 2006 for most. Let's just hope that the worst of 2007 will be like the best of 2006. That should be good enough. ;-)

Now to the point of this post:
One of our London based readers has e-mailed us in the hope of finding an apartment to rent in Izmir (Karsiyaka, Bornova, Konak, Alsancak, etc. - he's not very fussy), for 2 people, at the end of January. His more detailed note below.

If you have a tip, please contact him directly (tauqeerjamadar@gmail.com) or post a comment to this post.
Thanks for your help on his behalf!

Tauqeer, if you're reading this:
I can recommend Mr. Yüksel Ceylan (REMAX agency in Narlidere) who speaks English, German and Turkish.
E-mail: yuksel@remaxnet.net
Office: +90 (232) 239 09 03
GSM: +90 (533) 471 57 63

Mr. Ceylan was very helpful when we were looking to rent. Although I'm not sure he deals in short-term leases, I'm sure he will be able to recommend someone who does.
