Pelin is a great host and the flat is at a very convenient location.

First of, Pelin has been great at welcoming me in the flat. She setup a meeting place easy to find and not far from the flat. Then, on the way to the flat, showed me some of the stores in the area. In the flat, she made sure to explain how everything works and apologized for the noise caused by renovations next door. Tho pretty much happened from 8:30 to 18:00, six days a week (nothing on Sunday). Not much she can control as it's happening to the building next door.

The flat itself is very comfortable with all the conveniences needed. It's about 10 minutes walk from Taksim Square and about 20 min walk from the Galata Bridge, providing easy access to the Old Town portion of the city.
