Even though we didn’t meet Tavfik, it was easy to communicate. The flat was clean and well furnished. Some salt and oil would have been perfect in the kitchen for people who stay very short times but there are many shops nearby to buy everything needed.
The place is central in Fatih district and easy to find, but the walk could get difficult up the streets if you have kids.
This place is warmly recommended for people who are visiting Istanbul for the first time and we would definitely stay there again.
