We stayed at Tayfun’s cozy apartment in Istanbul for several days while on an extended trip through Turkey. The apartment offered very good value for the price and it was accurately described in the Airbnb listing. It is conveniently located near some good restaurants, a bakery, a shopping mall and a Metro station.
Beyond the accommodations, I must say that Tayfun is an excellent host. He is very communicative, quick to respond and quite helpful. For example, he arranged transportation for us from the airport. Also, I made a special request for a birthday cake (I was traveling with a friend and it was her teenage daughter’s birthday), Tayfun had a cake waiting for us in the refrigerator when we arrived. Tayfun is friendly, easy to smile and he made our stay in Istanbul a pleasure!
