Our week long stay at Biray's apartment was absolutely fantastic. Biray is a really friendly, kind and intelligent girl with a great taste in movies and literature. We had amazing conversations with her and we felt right at home from the start. Biray was away most of the time, but always really quick to respond; as a result, we had the whole apartment to ourselves, which worked out great for us since as we had to work from home during the day. The personable Zeytin, Biray's cat, was an additional bonus to keep us company, as well as her cousin who stayed over on occasion too. The apartment was in a perfect neighborhood, with lots of local shops with fresh produce and food options nearby. The taxim square and Istiklal Cadessi were only a 25min walk away. A friendly host, great location and certainly a memorable stay.
