Pelin was the perfect host! It was always easy to coordinate meeting with her, and she went above and beyond by holding our bags for us when we arrived early as well as after we checked out so we could enjoy the city without our heavy bags before or evening departure to the airport. She had great recommendations for restaurants and a local budget hamam only a five minute walk from the flat where we stayed. She even called to make a restaurant reservation on our behalf. The flat was beautiful and very comfortable, and the location was ideal. I would definitely stay here again or at one of Pelin's other listings the next time I visit Istanbul.
