Janis and Buelent are very hospitable and kind people. Their home is clean and it is 15 minutes away from the airport by car, so you can have a nice sleep in between your flights. I stayed longer than planned and had a very nice rest there. Janis is a very educated woman and a nice person to have meaningful conversations with. She is a native speaker of English and a therapist, I enjoyed every minute we shared together. Buelent is light-hearted and easy-going. Staying with them is like staying in a family, they are not judgemental and always ready to help. They have animals and plants which makes their home very cozy. This part of Istanbul is very quiet, safe and comfortable for living if you plan to stay longer. Far away from the centre but the bus stop is 20 metres away from their house so you won't have any difficulty getting to the heart of Istanbul. They can also organise transfer from the airport and back. If you plan to work online, the internet is fast and the desk in the room is at your disposal. Thank you so much Janis and Buelent, I hope to see you again!
