Garen was a really good host! arranged airport pick up and met us personally at the property. The house was comfortable and clean. Very spacious so was perfect as we were staying with a group of 8. Beds were very comfortable. The house is just 5-10 mins walk from Taksim square so perfect location. All 8 of us had a good stay in Istanbul. Definitely recommend this place!! Garen also gave us some good restaurant tips. Oh yes, a thoughtful touch was chocolate and fruit in the fridge, thanks garen!
