Yavuz was truly a wonderful host and fantastic company. He was extremely helpful, friendly, polite and went out of his way to make my stay as easy and as comfortable as possible. His house was clean and tidy, with a gorgeous view from which you could see a panoramic view of the Bosporus. He took me to the local eateries and showed me how best to travel around Istanbul. He even took me to see the main tourist sights.
All in all, Yavuz was a great host; in fact, he was a super host, going above and beyond the call of duty in looking after me. I could not have wished for a better host or accommodation which, in-spite of the flights of stairs, was superb.
I would highly recommend Yavuz and his flat to anyone visiting Istanbul, and in particular Uskudar.
