Elif and her family were so sweet and helped me quite a lot in the course of my trip. The stay at their place was amazing. Elif’s lovely family also hosted me for a delicious Turkish breakfast.
Pendik is far from the city centre but an amazing area to stay in to get a feel of both sides of the big city that Istanbul is. Elif was so helpful throughout my Turkey travel. Would love to recommend and stay at Elif’s house again.
