Beril ticks all the boxes especially in terms of honesty and accuracy. She was 100% honest with me, yet it all turned out better than she said which is a great thing in a host. I wasn't able to meet her as I arrived (she had to travel) but I was welcomed by her co-host who was an extremely nice and helpful person. Her house is so cute, it's everything a girl needs to feel at home in Istanbul. House was warm in spite of not having central heating (a good o'l stove in which I enjoyed brewing my tea), WIFI was perfect (i work online) even though it wasn't fiber, so I cannot fault anything. The location is THE BEST EVER. and everything, as in literally is at your doorstep, I would like to stress that it is a super safe area for a lady. Beril is extremely polite, nice and courteous and would do her best to both accommodate and help you. Book this house and don't think twice
