I’m glad that I chose Fatih’s house for my stay in Istanbul.
Fatih is a great host and a very friendly and helpful person in general. He speaks English very well so I had no problem reaching out to him various times for help.
The room is moderate in size but quite cozy. Even though it was snowing outside me and my cat were warm the whole time. The windows are plastic and isolate the sounds good enough for a nice rest. The location is great - it’s about 5-minute walk away from Istiklal, there’s a small groceries store just around the corner and a bigger one down the street. Next time I’m visiting Istanbul I’ll definitely check if I can stay here again!
