Dilek is a fantastic host, she's been helpful before even arriving to Istanbul. She showed me the house and everything I need to know about it and left, however she was always a message away whenever I need anything. The apartment is very beautiful and located in an area that is known to be loved by foreigners, there are so many places that you can visit and all are of 5-10 minutes walking distance, the area is a bit hilly but that didn't bother us at all. Everything inside the apartment was ready and clean by the time I got there, very comfortable bed and sofas, brilliant heating system, gigantic TV, tiny adorable kitchen and a balcony with a very nice view - best for coffee, breakfast and cigarette break. Can't wait to visit Istanbul again to stay at this apartment one more time!
