Thank you so much Tolga for being a great host. Tolga’s place is as it is written in the description. It is near to Taksim square. It is really easy to go around with metro from his place. The place was clean. As he mentioned, it is in fifth floor, but it would be great if he post a pic from the stairs as well. It wasn’t difficult for us but if you have children or old family member with you, it will be difficult with those stairs. I heard a lot about safety issue around Taksim squares and hotels in Istanbul, but we didn’t feel any safety issue with Tolga’s place. The place is safe and convenient. About the beds, the sofa bed and the queen bed itself were comfortable.
We haven’t had a chance to meet Tolga in person, but he was fast in replying our messages. I would recommend his place and for sure I will search for his houses first, if I come back in Istanbul again.
