The apartment was just as described, and Fatih was a great host, we were on a late night flight and he met us at the appt and took the time to tell us about the local area and talk through a map of Istanbul with us. The location is fantastic for Galata and Taksim area, with loads of great restaurants and cafe's nearby - no need to eat in terrible tourist traps of Sultanmet when you are staying here. We would definitely return to Istanbul and to Fatih's hospitality.
