So I stayed with Şevin for a couple of days. You never know what place or whom you are going to choose in airbnb. But in Şevin I have gained a good friend, she showed me the side of Istanbul that made me feel like at home, the side that will make me always want to come back. And for that I am forever indebted.
And all that trivial stuff that I see people write about sometimes - like towels, shape of the showerhead and how cosy is the armchair. Its all fine.
