Lina provided a very welcoming and home-like experience during my stay with her. She was very communicative even when away from the flat and very informative on how to best spend my time in Istanbul. I enjoyed chatting with her on various subjects and she made some delicious home-cooked meals and the best cappuccinos I've ever had. Staying with Lina is like being with a family member. The location can't be beat and you will quickly feel like her flat is your second home.
