It seems very strange to write a five star review for a place we never managed to stay at and a host we never met and yet be completely confident in writing it.
My wife and her mother were trying to escape the increasing risk of war in Ukraine and I booked this apartment in Istanbul where they were due to stay for one month. Unfortunately war started before they could get to Turkey resulting in cancellation of the booking on the day of arrival. Despite it being such short notice and a real inconvenience to Beliz, she only ever showed kindness and compassion towards my stranded relatives and never once demonstrated any irritation at the obvious inconvenience.
Even before this, her level of communication was outstanding, often and unexpectedly replying to messages and allaying any of my anxieties even very late at night and even whilst she was abroad.
The photos of the apartment look amazing and with such an honest and engaging host, I would have no concerns about their accuracy. I am completely confident that my relatives would have been safe and comfortable. Even though we never managed to stay at Beliz's apartment, I would without reservation recommend her as a host and would be completely confident that the accommodation she offers would be of an extremely high standard. We really look forward to meeting Beliz and staying at this apartment under better circumstances.
Oh! and although the cancellation was made at such short notice, she gave a full refund!
