Volkan was a wonderful host. He waited until after 1am for us to arrive as our flight was late. Volkan sat down with us and gave us tips on where to visit in Istanbul. He also let us borrow a travel guide book and gave us a map of the city. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had everything that we needed. The apartment is in a great location- a short walk to Istikal street. I would recommend staying here. It's great value!
