I strongly recommend to rent from Arzu. She is terrific! Her Google translate skills are remarkable and she will do anything to make sure your needs are met. She bought me dinner and showed me the closest grocery store on my first day in Istanbul. She’s a genuinely caring person and loves animals. She tries to feed all the cats/dogs that have been abandoned in her surroundings. The apartment she is renting is a nice two bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment in the highest floor with excellent views of the city. I enjoyed leaving the windows open at night and feel the fresh air. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay my 3 weeks. I will be back in 6 months and I will book with her again. All of her reviews were very accurate and I’m glad I stayed here.
