We were welcomed by Isil, not by Lindsey, the person which is mentioned on web sites. It was a little bit confusing. Isil was very kind, she has prepared a special invitation gift for us (because we love chocolate) and also very helpfull (when we have solved some little problems regarding the app). The appartment is reconstructed in modern style (equiped like a hotel room). It´s in a contrast with the part of the city where it´s situated. It´s located in city part with special athmosphere. It´s corect to say that the athmosphere is partly created by ruined houses and begging children. So I would recommend this flat to everybody who wants to see really all parts of Istanbul´s life.
