Derya’s house is clean, stylish, and has a nice view of the city. She responded quickly to my reservation which was booked same day, and gave me helpful directions on how to get to her house. It is a 5th floor apartment but easy to access with an elevator. The location the apartment is conveniently located 2 minutes walk from the Osmanbey Metro station and in the wonderful Şişli neighborhood. Many good restaurants and bars nearby. The space feels safe and secure. Derya went above and beyond making me feel welcome and even gave me a guided tour of some of Istanbul’s sights. She provided breakfast in the mornings as well. I look forward to staying here on my future Istanbul visits.
