I had a great experience staying at Zehra's flat. First off, communication and coordination was good. Ozlem was very good at getting back to me with all of the answers that I needed prior to arrival, and gave perfect directions to get to the place from the Airport on the Metro, which was very easy and cost about 4tl, or just over $1US.

I arrived around 7PM and the immediate neighborhood was a ghost town. After getting settled in, I walked no more than 5 minutes up the hill and was right in the heart of the Galata, with several great food options and great shops. The next morning the immediate neighborhood came to life with all of the hardware supply stores opening up, and putting their wares out for sale. It was a very authentic experience each morning to watch the merchants share tea with one another. I could go on and on about the location, all good.

The flat is as advertised, and very comfortable. It was clean, and nicely refurbished. Ozlem was always available when questions came up.

This was a definite find for me, and would stay again,
