I really enjoyed my stay at Pinars place. It is a cozy house with all one need for a student stay abroad. It is situated in an amazingly interesting neighberhood and got an ottoman kind of architecture ;) Something i enjoyed personaly as i studied history in Istanbul hahahah.
Tarlabshe is very close to Taksim and Istiklal Cadessi and offers many opportunities for having fun and a relaxing life. Most of the sterotypes about Tarlabshe are just not true. People are firendly, welcoming and nice there. A huge advantage is the weekly sunday market direct in front of the house. I loved it!
As other Erasmus students stayed at the house too, Pinar´s place offers to meet other people from around the world.

Pinar was always helpful during my stay and answered questions immedeately. I had the plessure to life a couple of weeks with Pinar together during the winter. She takes good care about the house. It was not a problem at all to have friends over. Pinar was (and iam sure she will be) a very good host!
Thanks a lot.
