Isil is a wonderful lady, she has been a great host and we are very grateful to have met her. We booked the entire house (4 apartments) for 3 days during New Years Eve period and the whole place looks great, simple, decorated with good taste and has everything that you need.
Isil has been very welcoming, she did a mini-tour around Fanar for us, which is the neighbourhood where the house is placed. She offered us great advice regarding places we should visit in Istanbul, places to eat and she even booked us a wonderful place for the New Year’s Eve celebration.
Fanar, not very far to the city center, is definitely a place you need to see in Istanbul. The neighbourhood is not crowded with tourists, it really feals like a traditional Turkish area, both colourful and charming and it is suprisingly cheaper than the city center. If you visit Istanbul, you definitely need to stay at Isil’s place and enjoy a cosy place and great conversations with a very lovely and intelligent lady.
