Murat is the best host we've had so far! DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK HIS APARTMENT, it is absolutely worth it. The apartment is close to Taksim square and Istiklal street so there is a lot to do in the evening after walking around the old town (Sultanahmet). It is also very close to the public transportation, the tram going to Sultanahmet and the ferry going to Princess islands are just a few minutes away.
The apartment itself is also perfect for a stay in Istanbul, it's really cosy, everything works properly and the internet is VERY fast.
And now the best thing of all: MURAT!
Murat made our stay really special because he is an awesome host. He greeted us at his restaurant with coffee (which was exactly what we needed after a long day of travel) and a cold turkish soup (perfect for a hot summer day). He gave us tips on where to go eat, how to get around, what to try from the local food etc.
When we arrived in the apartment, which was really late, after 11 p.m., we found the fridge full of water and juices so we didn't have to run around in the middle of the night to buy stuff.
One day we went to his restaurant to eat and they gave us a whole bunch of stuff to try, which we would probably never have tried on our own.
Murat was also always ready to help or answer any of our questions.
Thank you so much Murat! We will surely be back! <3
