Pelen was a great and communicative host. Check-in went very smoothly.
The location of the flat truly is amazing. It’s surround by restaurants and historical sites, with easy access to public transportation (do NOT count in Uber in Istanbul).
The flat is clean and comfortable. Make sure to turn on the heaters as soon as you arrive if you’re feeling cold.
Two smalls notes: If you’re planning on cooking, it’s not a fully appointed kitchen; there’s just a hot plate. Also, the shower has only a few minutes of hot water, so keep that in mind.
Since I don’t speak Turkish, she helped me book a taxi to the airport, which was above-and-beyond!
