Fatih was a wonderful host! He was warm and generous with his time, arranging for a shuttle to pick us up at the airport, showing us around the neighborhood, answering our many many questions and even helping us buy our bus tickets to Eskisehir which would have been difficult (logistically) without his help. The studio was clean and comfortable and exactly as advertised. The best part was the location in the heart of the Galata area and so close to Sultanahmed and to Istiklal street. With the central location, of course, comes a little bit of street noise but that is part of the experience. We were there in July which gets quite hot and the fan in the room did help cool us down quite a bit. It was also really great to be able to do a load of laundry during our stay. We hope to come back!
