Devran is an excellent host - friendly, attentive, kind. A real professional in hospitality making you to feel as at best friends' home starting from the 1st day. He speaks Engish well, so you will not face any language barrier and will enjoy chatting with him. The flat is very clean and green (that is a rare for Istanbul), full of light. The bed is comfortable and common areas are spacious enough. The main gem of the house is a balcony with a magnificient view! To some extent even better than view from Galata tower and you can enjoy it non stop, especially when working on it. The district where the flat is based is quite and safe with a good transport access from metrobus, Halic ferry and buses to Taxim and Eminonu. I definetely recommend this appartment for single travellers, who value nice atmosphere and breathtaking views.
