A friend and I stayed at Jonas' apartment in Istanbul in June. We had never been to Istanbul but Jonas was so incredibly helpful (and so prompt) with email and his recommendations. He assisted us with finding our way around the city and hitting the major attractions. I was trying to find a yoga studio in Istanbul and Jonas recommended the perfect spot just a short walk from the apartment. The apartment is clean, quiet, nicely decorated and in a great location. We felt very secure there and believed it to be the perfect location for everything that we wanted to do. We liked that it wasn't in the heavy tourist area as we were able to wander the streets, eat at great restaurants and hit the best rooftop patio in Istanbul (recommended by Jonas). We loved our time in Istanbul and at Jonas' place. We would certainly return to both.
