Hasan is by far the best host we have ever stayed with. Before we were somewhere that was unsafe to be around. We immediately chose Hasan because we believed he could give us a safe and pleasant experience. Hasan gladly ordered for our cab ride to his apartment. He gave multiple options for places to eat and where to go shopping for turkish delights and basic groceries. This apartment location is extremely handy. It's 5-10 minutes to Taksim square. Any requests we had, he gladly accommodated for that and also explained how to use the Istanbul Metro. Highly recommend! Best host ever!
