My stay in Pelin's apartment was beyond pleasant, It was absolutely the cherry on top of my 18-day stay in Istanbul! First of all, the apartment itself is clean, has working AC, cozy, extremely well located and easily accessible; At the same time it's in a quiet little street so there was no noise problem whatsoever. In addition, as 3 ladies staying in an apartment by ourselves we felt safe at all times and there was no worry whatsoever about safety. The apartment itself is on the 3rd floor, so there is the stairs to take- after the first few times you get used to it. Linens and towels were provided for us and replaced regularly- they were clean and smelled so nice!
Now, what will for sure make me get this apartment next time I'm in Istanbul has got to be Pelin. She is such a wonderful and helpful host. After an error with my ticket, I ended up arriving one night earlier than booked and Pelin had no problem arranging a place for me to spend the night! Moreover, our plane arrived at 12:30 am yet Pelin and her partner met us at that late hour and helped our taxi driver with the directions to the apartment! Her partner even helped get the luggage upstairs. The bottles of water and tea/nescafe waiting for us in the apartment were HIGHLY appreciated after the exhausting flight. Moreover, she gave us excellent tips on where to eat, shop and even where to get our hair cut! She also provided us with a map with the nearest metro/tram stations and which roads to take in case a protest happened. Lastly, she managed to get us a shuttle with a really decent price to take us to the airport, as our luggage was more than what would usually fit in a taxi. All in all I would choose this apartment again and again for all the reasons I mentioned above!
