This is the kind of place that you'd pick if you are the kind of travel that likes to get a real taste of what living in a place you visit is like and share with its locals. Fırat and his roommate, Nihat are super cool dudes always ready to help and open to answer any questions you have! Very genuine hosts that care about travelers and speak very good English. Although my stay was short, I was able to have interesting conversations with Fırat and his roommate and pick their brain about all-things Turkey. The apartment is located in a super cool area in Istanbul with lots of markets and restaurants nearby. I was on a solo trip during my stay and felt safe coming back home after 10pm. The ferry is really close to the apartment and also there's buses lines in a less than 5 min walking distance from their place. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as I did!
