I am glad that I stayed in Istambul in cozy Ozlem apartment. As far as I first time in Istambul Ozlem picked up me in a cafe and helped to find apartment and make all the stuff.
during my stay she gracefully helped me with food delivery, ordering for me (cause I can't read turkish :)
the room was clean, cozy and convenient. I wholeheartedly recommend this host, you get 100 % of Turkish hospitality! :)
