Mircan is super great host!!!
She and her family are very nice
I can say they are the best host in my life.
Her husband cooked local food 3meals/day to me, every plates were yummy and tasty.
They spent time to me even they were busy in work, we talked, cooked together, played game, etc.
They also picked up me and drive for me from/to the station.
I had big wonderful time there.

I had a very memorable time with a special and sweet family who showed me warmth and welcome in a different land! I thoroughly enjoyed the chance to chat and learn from them all, and the great home cooked food. I hope one day to return.

Mircan and her family were the perfect hosts. They are very friendly and knowledgeable of the city they live in. I had the best time staying with them, eating all the delicious food they cooked me and having a chat over a cup of tea. I feel like part of the family and will miss them very much xx

Mircan is really kind, affectionate and humorous person.
I learned a lot about family and how to enjoy life while chatting with her. And all her family are also so charming. I had a marvelous time and homemade dishes with them.Especially all foods she cooks are healthy and tasty, making me happy everyday during stay.
Sunrise from the room I stayed was beautiful, and there is a park with a great view of Istanbul.It was amazing homestay!

Mircan and her family are the definition of hospitable and I really enjoyed staying with them. They welcomed me into their family the moment I arrived. I enjoyed talking and laughing with them and learning more about the culture. Mircan was even kind enough to inquire what I wanted to see while I was in Istanbul and made sure I got there. She even cooked me Turkish meals from scratch. She cooks very well :)
Thank you so much for everything!Host reply

I spent one week with Mircan and her family...and it was the best part of my journey !
Mircan and all the family were welcoming and so helpful. Mircan is a curious person, she likes to share and discut with people. All we want from a homestay.She took time to show me some places in istanbul despite her working week and her responsabilities at home. She helped me to book my flights, pick up and droped me at the airport and some more things.
Her childrens were so sweet with me... I already miss Defne. Her husband was kind too.I thank them alot and hope still keeping in touch
Bise !
