“Every member of the team was incredibly welcoming – a big shout-out to Emre for going out of his way to help. My room was clean and felt brand new, and they changed the sheets whenever I asked. The neighbourhood felt safe, it's a short stroll to Taksim Square, and there are food spots, supermarkets, and a SIM card shop right nearby.”
