My stay in Istanbul was not for the typical tourism, I was there for medical treatment. I explained this to Ali when I booked the apartment and he was extremely accommodating, offering support during my stay.
What I had not anticipated was Maximm, the host during my stay. Maximm's care and support went well beyond the call of duty. His professionalism coupled with genuine kindness and concern made my recovery stay in Istanbul both welcoming and bearable. Maximm went out of his way to assist with transport needs to my doctor, calling regularly to check in on my health. At one time, he even picked up groceries for me. My husband and I feel as though he is part of our family and our "connection" will extend well beyond the 5 weeks stay in Istanbul . There are moments when human kindness can transform ones life...for me this was the moment.
Thank you Ali and Maximm for your kindness to a stranger during my time of need. My heart overflows with gratefulness!
