I will truly never forget the amazing time I had during my exchange semester in İstanbul and Pınar certainly had a big share in it! I booked the room in her apartment because the location seemed practical and the flat is big but I ended up with so much more - friendships, a home (very appreciated during the lockdown weekends), and so many great memories!
The flat is very clean, the room faces the backyard and is connected to the balcony which is nice, also, Bambi the sassy cat will definitely pay you a visit and try to enter your suitcase. You can reach the Metro line, Maçka Park and an abundance of shops and restaurants within minutes. There's so much more to add but I will end by saying I can only urge you to make the right decision and contact Pınar ;)
