Aylin was a great host. She promptly responded to all emails. She was able to direct the taxi driver, in one quick phone call, from the airport to the apartment where she met us and gave us the tour of the place. The location of the place is perfect. It's near a subway station and there were dozens of eating and entertainment options just steps away. However, it does get noisy at night almost every night of the week. Anyway, the apartment was great and had everything we needed for the entire duration of 11 days except soap. We also liked that the TV could play movies off of a USB key. There were some negatives though, if I'm being hypercritical. The mattress wasn't the greatest and by the end of our stay, I was starting to feel it in my back. The washroom was too small. There was no shower door. The mirror would fog instantly. The lighting in the washroom sucks for shaving. The only other mirror in the apartment had no lighting. Also, there was not enough hot water for 2 persons to shower one after the other unless they were quick.
