Fatih was extremely prompt in responding to our inquiries and offering options for transportation to his apartment (e.g. tram, shuttle, taxi, or private pick-up). If this is your first time in Istanbul, I'd recommend opting for the private pick-up. The apartment is in a great location for first-time visitors, given it is equidistant from Taksim Square and the Blue Mosque/Hagia Sophia (20-25 min. walk). The studio will fit 3 (an extra bed is provided), has wifi, and is approx. a 5 minute walk from the Galata Tower. We were in Istanbul for only 2 nights, so Fatih's apartment was perfect for our stay - highly recommended!
