I had a good stay at Dilara‘s place. She is a wonderful person and her cats are adorable. My stay in Istanbul was definitely better because of her advice and recommendations and I really enjoyed the fish and special dishes she cooked and shared with me. Athmosphere in the flat was always relaxed, calm and easy.
One thing I would mention though is that the flat is situated at the 5th floor (great view, but no elevator so sometimes it was annoying to walk up all those floors)
