Isil is a really welcoming host, makes you feel at home right away! It was really nice to have someone there to answer questions and show you around a bit, and give you some insider tips about what to do in Istanbul. The flat is really nice, very bright, it has everything you need. I also liked the area, you really feel like you're in the middle of Istanbul (which you are! - super easy to get everywhere you want to go), and it's very authentic. Have come home wishing I could have stayed longer, and hoping that I will stay here again soon - and I would definitely recommend the flat as a place to stay for anyone wishing to discover the wonderful city of Istanbul.
