I really enjoyed my stay with Sinem and Mia. The apartment was pristine and it always smelled clean and fresh. Sinem was really responsive to my needs, she made sure the internet connection was fast enough and got me a desk as I work from home. She even took me out for food and tried to help me get a phone that I desperately needed! The location was good, near one of the biggest malls in Istanbul and within walking distance from Nisantasi, where you can find lots of coffeeshops, restaurants and shops. The apartment itself is away from the maddening crowds and really quiet. Lots of supermarkets nearby as well as some places to have a tea or some pastries, with much lower prices than in other areas. The apartment had a fully equipped kitchen that I used on a daily basis to cook meals. All in all, Sinem is a really hospitable and generous hostess and my stay with her and her cute dog was really enjoyable.
