Aylin is a gracious host and was accommodating to all of our needs. Her apartment is in a charming and edgy neighborhood perfectly situated to explore, sightsee, and most of all relax in Istanbul. It's across from Soho House (old US consulate) - which is highly recommended to visit. The apartment is clean, has great views and is surrounded by lots of yummy restaurants/shops. We had a fantastic time in Istanbul and staying at Aylin's loft made it even better! If you need transportation arrangements - Aylin will make them for you without a problem! I would definitely go back and stay at her apartment again. Thanks for everything, Aylin!
