During my travels I began to realize that many people don’t realize how important first impressions are and how important it is to greet people properly. Especially tourists who are likely to be tired, hungry, confused, and who know very little about the place where they’ve just arrived , including the language. I was one such person, and I can say that Sezgi really put me at ease and made me feel so comfortable and welcome. I cannot stress enough how important this is. She is a very friendly, kind, and helpful young woman. I was very weary from long travels and I am so happy that she is one of the first people I met in Turkey.
She explained everything to me, answered the million questions that I had for her, and her friendly demeanor was just what I needed.
Her apartment is very cozy and I was able to truly relax there during the few cold and snowy days. The bed is comfortable, the blanket is warm, everything was clean and smelled fresh out the wash. I was able to wash my clothes in the machine, there is a bit water bottle so you don’t have to go looking for bottled water, the apartment is on a quiet street in a residential neighborhood. There is a smart TV with Netflix and other streaming services including YouTube. The kitchen is provisioned for cooking if you need. The place basically feels like home, which was exactly what I needed. And Sezgi was very patient and helpful when I had issues with finding a taxi and when the power went out very briefly, and with all my questions and requests. I highly recommend this place and this host. One of the best I ever had.
