Akif's place is in an amazing location - right next to the Galata Tower and among really cute streets with loads of great cafes. All of the main sites (Blue Mosque etc) were in walking distance - making it the perfect home for a quick weekend trip. Akif was a great host - providing loads of recommendations, quick to reply on whatsapp and kindly let us check in at 1am when our flight got in. The flip flops in the house were a really nice touch!
