Alexis was an excellent host. He was very prompt with his responses to requests and inquiries. Furthermore, his apartment is very clean(Cleanest apartment I've stayed at in all my travels), beautiful and spacious and easily sleeps up to 5 people. Additionally, it is very close to all the nightlife (Taksim) within walking distance or a short taxi ride to restaurants, shops and attractions within Istanbul. I highly recommend Alexis and his apartment and would love the chance to stay there again next time I'm in Istanbul.
