At Faruk’s place expect: a location in a nice neighbourhood, you have shops, restaurants, cafes etc all around. The flat is clean with the needed amenities.
To keep in mind:
In August it is VERY hot in Istanbul, and the flat is not air conditioned, there is a fan, it does the job but if you can only sleep in fresh space, think about it.
It can be noisy sometimes as there are cafés right next to the flat.
Finally, for four evenings in Istanbul, the flat does the job :)
