Pelin was an excellent host. She met me near the bus stop to show me the way to the flat and provided all of the information I needed for a comfortable stay. The flat was just as it is described and was perfect for one person. It is in a lovely area with lots of nice shops and restaurants nearby. I felt totally safe in the flat and surrounding area as a woman traveling alone. In all the place was exactly what I was looking for, I'd definitely stay again if returning to Istanbul and would recommend it to friends.
