Tansel was a very accommodating and welcoming host. Granted the directions to find his place were a bit hard to follow, I got lost for a bit, but once I was able to get a phone and get a hold of Tansel he was quickly able to help me find my way. The place was very nice, filled with guidebooks and a nice bed and very good space heaters and everything. Breakfast was included, and when I had to leave before breakfast one of the days he gave me credit back for that. It was nice talking to Tansel about places to visit and things to do in the area. I'm really glad I stayed here and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Istanbul.
