Alexis is a wonderful host! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at his flat. The flat is a few minutes walk from Taksim Square which made it really convenient for transportation from the airport and getting to other areas in Istanbul. I really applaud Alexis for keeping his flat super clean and providing all the amenities one would need. Alexis' mom met us at the flat and gave us the key. She walked us through everything and really made us feel welcomed. I'd highly recommend Alexis' flat to anyone visiting Istanbul!
