I had a great time Istanbul. Özden and Cemre are great hosts, they're both very nice, always attentive to my needs. Özden is very knowledgeable about the area, he will teach how to use public transportation which is very efficient, no need to use taxis. The apartment is very well located, for someone that wants to get see as much of Istanbul as possible the tram stop I about 2 blocks, there plenty of little cafeterias, supermarkets, restaurants and little stores without the tourist's price tags the are more common in more heavily populated areas. Cemre is a wonderful cook, her father is a chef, if you're lucky to get to sample her dishes, you will experience the local food better than most restaurants around town. The room was very clean, bright, and spacious, I went around mid September so there were no issues with temperature in the apartment. Getting to the apartment was easy by metro and then tram, the only difficulty I had was finding the apartment because there no street signs and I had no overseas roaming on my phone. Other than it was a pleasurable experience staying with my new friends. Thank you Airbnb.
