Pelin is an excellent host! The apartment is so neat and clean. We stayed two nights at her apartment and felt very comfortable. Next time when we visit Istanbul again, we will have to stay there for a week :-) She is very resourceful in giving us advises on what we wanted to do, and also is very responsive to questions we had. The area where her flat is located is quite trendy, easy access to night life, nice restaurants, and walking distance to the metro station and several touristy spots in the city. Having stayed in a shabby flat in Istanbul in the earlier leg of our trip, Pelin's place was quite a pleasant surprise for us to end our trip. I definitely recommend her flat to fellow travelers.
