Selcen was a wonderful host, she showed me around the flat, gave me a shelf in the fridge, provided everything that I would need from laundry detergent to towels. She told me about the neighborhood, recommended good restaurants to go to, and pointed out important things to know around Uskudar. Overall I thought that the flat was excellent, it was in a quiet and safe neighborhood so sleeping was easy, but was never far from anything in Istanbul .
