As a solo female traveller, found Yasemin to be the perfect host. Moving in to her home I felt very comfortable from the word go and would definitely recommend it to anyone that wishes to stay in Istanbul. It is the perfect location close to restaurants, shops, bars, metro and ferry. She is very attentive and helped me with anything I needed, not to mention her beautiful home that she shares with her awesome cat oğlum. Overall a wonderful stay.
