Fahrettin was a wonderful host. We arrived at the apartment at around 11pm, and he was there to meet us, explain everything about the apartment and was always available to answer any questions.

The positives about the apartment: very close to major highlights of Istanbul, internet worked great, there was a washer to do laundry, which was very much appreciated after traveling around and needing to wash our clothes. There are grocery stores all around as well as great restaurants within walking distance.

The down part of the place: very hard to find, although with the directions to the taxi driver, he found it ok. It is a first floor walk up, so if carrying heavy luggage, it is doable, but be aware of that. It's an old apartment in an old building, but to us, that added to the charm. I would definitely stay there again.
