Rukiye is an AMAZING person and host! I totally loved staying with her. Her apartment is literally always clean, fresh and beautiful. The shower works perfectly and that's my personal number 1 importance.
The apartment is in a lovely neighborhood one metro station away from always busy Taksim. I felt at home there!
Rukiye will definitely respect your privacy (which is perfect) but is such a friendly and easy-going person at the same time!
There were absolutely no problems during my stay and I hope to stay with Rukiye another time I'm in Istanbul.
Only the best people are advised to stay with Rukiye because she deserves it!
