Back home after 10 days in Turkey. Let me share what I found.
Arrival and first impressions: Uber worked perfectly. Checked into my hotel near undefined.
Day 1-2: Explored the area, got the lay of the land. Prices seemed fair.
Days 3-5: Found my favorite spots. The undefined area was surprisingly quiet.
Prices: In line with expectations. Prices are pretty fixed here.
Tips for others: Learn a few phrases in the local language.
Would I go back? Absolutely.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

Good info. I'd add that the morning is the best time to go.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.
