We had a lovely time staying at Secil's place. It has a nice view, is well equipped with everything you might need to cook, wash etc. and she has a great selection of books. It is also well located and near different sources for public transportation, the neighbourhood is very picturesque, with a lot of steep hills. Even though she was away from Istanbul at the time, she was always very kind and available to answer our questions and sent someone when we needed to solve a minor problem in the apartment.
