Pelin and her partner were gracious, responsive hosts. Pelin's instructions were clear and quite helpful, including some nice tips for exploring the area. We could not have asked for friendlier, more helpful people to welcome us to such a wonderful city!
The apartment is a perfect location for access to Istanbul's historic district. We did all of our sightseeing by foot and found the location quite convenient for access to the historical district, many very nice food options, access to ferries, and, of course, shopping.
Unfortunately, I came to the trip with a lot of back pain and found the sleeping accommodations to be a bit rough in my state. Also, when we were there, the shower pooled water throughout. Both of these things are totally fixable and probably can be looked past by most people. For us, if these two things were addressed, we would absolutely come back for a longer stay at this cute apartment hosted by great people!
