We have been travelling for eight weeks now and in that time we have not met any host as AMAZING as Lindsay. She is passionate and so very friendly and willing to help in any way. She should be a super host!! From before we arrived until after we left she has been amazing. Nothing is too much trouble and she goes well above and beyond the requirements to help you. Lindsay met with us after we were settled and took us to a few of her favourite places in Balat. She introduced us to some of her favourite foods and showed us all the places we might need..supermarkets etc. she even helped us get a great hair cut. She took time out to find out what we are interested in and helped plan an itinerary for that, including bus numbers etc. she provided us with a map and transport card to load up to make travel a lot easier. Our plane was initially 2 hours late, but she had someone waiting at 10pm to greet us and show us to a nice local restaurant as we hadn't eaten. If we had a translation problem Lindsay would always be there to help, ringing cabs or even booking a long bus journey.
We are so grateful to Lindsay, she has made our first trip to Istanbul a most memorable and happy one.
The apartment is very new and is situated in a building that she owns, so you feel very safe at all times. She even took the time to introduce us to the other guests who had children, as we had a little boy and she thought they would get on together.
She is an amazing host who I would recommend to anyone. You will love your experience here. We couldn't recommend Lindsay and her apartment more highly. Thank you Lindsay.
