Vivian was very welcoming and quick to respond to my emails. She provided all the required information and more, fro example, clear instructions on how to reach the flat using public transport which was great. The metro system in Istanbul has really developed over the past few years and you can now take the metro all the way from Taksim to Boğaziçi University - a 5 mins walk from Vivian's flat.

The flat is in a great location if you're attending conferences at the University. It's very clean and Vivian has obviously spent a lot of time making it a comfortable and tranquil place to stay. There are shops and cafés nearby and you can walk down to the Bosfor for a stroll which is the most wonderfully peaceful way to spend an evening. Thank you, Vivian.
