Absolutely blown away by my stay with Serkan - this was my first time in Istanbul but he made me feel at home immediately. Serkan is incredibly well-read and knowledge about Turkish culture and history of every kind, so will give better recommendations than any travel website for places to visit. He is a very kind and considerate host, offering traditional Turkish coffee every morning and always willing to answer whatever questions you may have or just sit for an interesting chat. The flat is very conveniently located, with excellent public transport links to the rest of the city and cafés, restaurants, shops and ATMs in the immediate vicinity. The flat is also kept very clean and tidy, the bed is comfortable, and everything feels just like home right away. My stay in Istanbul wouldn't have been the same without Serkan and his beautiful place, I felt incredibly lucky to experience the city staying here - don't hesitate to make a reservation!
