Not only was Ceyda (pronounced Jay-da) a perfect host with a very nice large room in a perfect location, it turns she's like my soul mate too! :D
She was around during my stay, which as a solo traveller, I was grateful for, as we had some great conversation and time together. Also, with her awesome daughter, Ayda. They were great fun.
Seriously, for the Airbnb though, she out-does any effort I've ever experienced in hospitality. She was communicative, thoughtful, informative, and the place was clean, airy, light, nicely laid out and with a super balcony. Great bed. Super arm chair in the room, plus a sofa. I was enthusiastic about lots of (surprise) little touches by her, that you should go experience yourself. Istanbul is amazing and the flat is within a great neighbourhood and so accessible. You couldn't ask for a better host.
I'm just wondering now when I can go back for longer...
milyonlarca güzel teşekkürler! see you on the internet/instagram boo(s)!
