I stayed at Akın's place for 4 nights and I can say that it is the best place that someone can stay in Istanbul... Akın was very friendly, communicative and ready to help for anything you need... He responded very quickly and set the place ready with all its needs before check in... The location is also perfect, central, just 10 minutes walking from Taksim Square, Istiklal Street and metro station and just 5 minutes from tram stop with which you can go to several known destinations in Istanbul (Kabataş, Sultanahmet, Beşiktaş, Eminönü). The house is not too small at all it is larger than the photos. Although it does not have a window, it has a very good lighting and air system that you dont mind the window and it is really comfortable... To sum up, I can say that the price is really valuable for such a perfect location... I can say that i didnt have any problems with my stay and I want to thank again Akın both for the place he offered and for his friendly and helpful character... I highly recommend this place for everyone, especially for couples and for those who are travelling alone to Istanbul... I am looking forward for the time that I will stay at this place again!!!
