People in Turkey are extremely kind and hospitable, but even by Turkish standards Zehra is far above the rest. She is extremely helpful, responsive and is an amazing host. I cannot imagine a better place to stay and a better host for our next Istanbul visit (which we are already planning). Right from the start she made us feel right at home. The apartment is ideally located - very close to Galata tower, but not in the middle of the tourist crowds and noise. It is close to transportation as well. It is beautifully decorated, fully stocked, and there is nothing like waking up to a sunrise view out of those amazing windows.
