Ceyda is an incredible host who welcomed me into her home with kindness and love. Her place has a sense of peace (and cleanliness) that you just don’t get with other locations. You get a feeling like you’re in authentic Istanbul, while feeling the comfort of “home”. I would highly recommend staying here with her. She helped ease my worries of traveling alone throughout the city, providing written directions that showed the the cabby so I wouldn’t get lost, as well as how much it would cost (so I wouldn’t get overcharged). She even called me a cab at 4AM to make sure I would arrive at the airport on time. She’s simply an angel in the city of Istanbul and will absolutely make your stay even better than expected. So glad I found her! Will return soon!
