Nicip is a great host. He is very helpful and provided a lot of insight into places to go and things to do in Istanbul. There are multiple rooms in this apartment, but everyone shares and gets along well. The facilities are older but economically priced. The location is very convenient, less than five minutes from the local tram stop that leads seemingly everywhere (usually without a transfer). Wireless Internet, spare keys and use of kitchen are provided. Nicip and his accommodations are highly recommended.
