Melis is an absolutely great person and a lovely host. Her house is very nicely decorated, is clean and quite spacious, and she has been very generous in sharing her food with me. The house is in a quiet and safe neighbourhood, not in the centre but also not too far from it. It has a very easy access to Etiler metro station and metro is very fast in Istanbul. Melis has a great positive energy and I really felt like home staying with her. I would totally recommend her to someone who wants to stay in this part of the city and feel a bit more quiet and peaceful. Her house is also 25 minutes walking distance to Bogdazi university (or 2 metro stations I think) if someone studies or does businesses there. She is just awesome!
