Pelin's place is great and the communication before my arrival was also perfect. I could not have felt more welcome or at ease during my stay. Pelin is a great host, was easy to be in touch with and made sure I had all I needed. The apartment itself is very neat, beautifully decorated, has one the best shower/bathrooms I have ever encountered in Istanbul (loved the high water pressure!). Also, it is very, very calm as it is tucked away in a little side alley. Nonetheless, I felt both very safe and in the middle of things all the time, cute coffeeshops and supermarket are literally a few steps away. I highly recommend staying with Pelin, and I hope I get the chance to spend some time here again. Thanks a lot!!
