Firat's apartment's location is a gem for Istanbul newcomers, wherever you go ahead from this apartment, you'll find something worth seeing. Lots of cafes and shops around as well!
Firat is really welcoming and hospitable, he also helped us to communicate with Turkish-only clinic where we did our PCR tests.
But note that in case you work remotely, the internet speed may be not enough, unfortunately. Though, this is the only con among all the other pros!
