Meriç is an excellent host who makes your stay as comfortable as it can be. She is extremely friendly, kind, funny and helpful with local tips and was reachable all the time.
Her apartment is very nicely decorated, very clean, receives a lot of natural daylight and it is kept neat at all times. The area of her appartment is nice, with close access to a lot of good eating places, one of the coolest shopping mall (Akmerkez) and public transport (bus stop, subway) in one of the best neighbourhoods of Istanbul.
It was a pleasant stay. I really enjoyed her company and would highly recommend staying at her place.
