Dilek was very responsive when we made our very last minute reservation, responding within minutes even though it was way after midnight in Turkey. This made things very easy for us, because we couldn't book the first night through airbnb (because it was the next day) but Dilek allowed us to come the day before our reservation and pay the extra night in cash. They were also very lovely when I told them the wrong time for my friend's arrival, even though I had wasted their time which I felt very bad about. All in all, lovely host!

Kadikoy was a great place to stay. It's only a (very picturesque) ferry ride away from all the tourist areas, but there are no tourists in Kadikoy... just loads of nice places to eat and shop with the locals!

The flat was nice, there is one bedroom and then there is a lounge with a sofa bed. The sofa bed is fairly hard, but I slept alright on it. There is a kitchenette and a fridge in case you want to cook, but we didn't use the kitchen as we chose to eat out.

The wifi didn't work while we were there, but we were able to connect to the host's internet if we walked two floors up, or outside the apartment block. Dilek said they had called the internet company about getting it fixed, so hopefully this won't be a problem for future guests.
