Catherine was a fantastic host. She was very helpful providing information for getting to the flat and finding out if I had any unmet needs after I arrived. Getting settled in for the first night's stay was more like catching up with an old friend than meeting a new one!

Catherine is very knowledgable about Istanbul. If you happen to love textiles, it's especially valuable for figuring out what places you will want to go to.

If you're looking to see what life in Istanbul is like from the perspective of a local, I strongly recommend staying with Catherine and Abit.
