Our party of 3 spent a total of 5 nights at Volkan’s place. Location was superb - a mere 5 minutes walk to Hagia Sophia and the surrounding attractions. Plenty of restaurants within the vicinity as well as mini marts to stock up. The apartment was super clean and neat. All the necessary amenities were provided for. Only thing missing was a dryer for the clothes but understands that it’s omission was due to space constraints. Volkan was a great host - we were in communication weeks before our arrival. He provided all the necessary information required for us to get to the apartment and even spoke to the taxi driver to ensure that he did not take us for a ride. Our stay in Istanbul was certainly made more enjoyable due to Volkan’s kind hospitality.
