I felt completely comfortable and at home as soon as I walked into Beril's flat. I was in Istanbul to study, which was easy as I had the peace and space to do so. She was so friendly and accomodating from the moment we started communictaing through the booking to the moment I left...thoughtfully booking me a taxi to take me to the airport. The flat is really beautiful and immaculate. I couldn't have wished for a better host and I feel like I have made a new friend in Istanbul. Thanks again Beril! : )
