I came to Istanbul for a conference at Bogazici Universitesi, which is just 10min per feet away from Vivians flat. Very convenient :-)
I came very late (around 11pm) and Vivian helped me (and the Cab driver) kindly to find my way. Her flat was very clean and comfortable, enough space for relaxing and working, warm water, gas, fridge, etc. everything was excellent. One day Vivian took me to a nice little cafe. She is a very warm and open person and I had a wonderful time.
