Me my wife and our 5-month-old daughter stayed in Faruk's place for 26 days. It was the best experience we have ever had with Airbnb.
The Apartment was brand new. We were the first to stay there. Meaning, the place is clean and everything is functional. The location is perfect for those looking for a quite place with transportation, restaurants, pharmacy, groceries, clothing stores ...etc are all within walking distance. Fatih Mosque is just around the corner.
Faruk is super-duper host. He is impressively kind and generous always response within minutes to our needs and queries.
We were allowed to check in 2 hours earlier and check out 2 hours later according to our flight schedule. That was truly appreciated.
He also gave our daughter gift of pillow covers with vibrant colours. She never stops staring and playing with them.
it was a pleasure to get to know Faruk and his place is definitely our first choice next time we are coming to Istanbul.
