Evren has been a great host. He personally welcomed us and recommended great local places to eat. We tried most of them. We had an electrical fault, Evren was 1000 km away and it was a national holiday but he managed to get it repaired immediately. His phone number is in my phone book now to keep. We’ve gained a trustworthy friend in Istanbul. There is a white cat with a black patch on her head , she is always at the main door. She is very clever and talkative and likes whiskas lamb. Please be generous to her and her mates.
