Faruk is a great caring host who responded to every query I had and kept in touch to make sure check-in/check out went smoothly. His place is also amazing - bright, modern and with beautiful views on Istanbul, especially the Galata Tower.
The location is also very central - you can get to any “must see” place within 15-30 mins depending on whether you want to use public transport or walk. Lots of nice cafes around as well. Really recommend this place for anyone!:)
