Taylan is a friendly and helpful host. He made the entrance process easy. The building is quite old, note that you will have to climb some stairs. The flat is tastefully furnished, very Bohemian. The location is superb. You can find transportation to anywhere worth seeing in İstanbul. It was difficult for us to cook since we could not find a proper frying pan for the electrical cooker. Also, despite tasteful, the couch is not very comfortable. Overall, good experience.
