I had a great experience staying at Volkan's apartment. This was my first experience staying in an AirBnB and he made the whole process very easy. He was quick to respond to messages and easy to communicate with. I did not have the opportunity to meet Volkan because he was out of town, but had the people who own the restaurant that the apartment sits above assist me with check in. The lock was a little tricky at first, but they were helpful with helping me get in if I needed. They were very nice and be food was good as well.
The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and well kept. It's in a great location to all of the historical sights. I was alone for a bit of my stay there, and as a woman it can be a bit scary traveling by myself. I felt very safe at the apartment and didn't have any problems. The wifi worked great, which isn't always the case when staying in a foreign country. All around, I had an excellent time. I work recommend this apartment to anyone traveling to Istanbul.
