This was our first time in Istanbul and we came with a lot of questions in our head.Pelin and her partner were there to welcome us, carry our luggage, give us an Instabulkart card ( that was such a life saver ). They helped us create our own home in Instabul for the 10 odd days that we were there.
Pelin was a super knowledgeable, extremely helpful host and I hate using that word as we left as friends. She gave us some great recommendations on places to eat, which hamam to choose and the tourist trap places to avoid. She was kind enough to spend time with us shopping for specific stuff to take back home.
The house itself is self contained, beautiful, warm and exactly as it seems in the pictures. It was very spacious for the two of us and some place that we really enjoyed coming back to. The best thing about the location was the fact that it was 10 mins from pretty much everything : Taksim, the metro station, Istiklal street and some of the best breakfast places we have ever been to. Istanbul can get really noisy especially during the weekends but this flat is truly an oasis, super quiet. We are certainly going back.
