I had the feeling that I had come to visit an old friend, and that she had been planning my visit for a long time. I was in an unfamiliar country on an unplanned trip and everything that happened for me was fraught with stress. It's great that the person hosting me in Istanbul turned out to be a very nice host, always ready to be in touch and help with any even minor things.
When we got inside, we saw that everything exactly matches the photos. The house was very well tidied up for our arrival, I say this considering that I am more picky about cleanliness than usual. I had practically no additional requests around the house, but if they did appear, then Daphne solved them often proactively and very quickly.
Daphne's house is very warm and cozy, which was especially important for us in the cold and rainy-snowy weather these days.
And we also had a nice bonus - a joint walk to a restaurant with Daphne's friends and a mutual excursion into the cultures of our countries.
