An incredibly beautiful place where I lived for a wonderful 5 days. I am sure that this is the best place for a traveler to stop.
The first reason is the owner of the house. His name is Afshin and he is an incredibly kind guy. He is a very cool DJ and knows the best places in Istanbul to have fun (and most importantly for any wallet). On the very first day, he invited me at night to the club where he works, which I was very happy about. Cleanliness and keeping the house up are his motto, and nightclubs are his passion. Do not be afraid that he works in a nightclub. At home, he is an incredibly quiet person and never once interfered with me. Afshin is also a great cook. Whenever he cooked, he offered me food (absolutely free, because of his kindness).
I also have to mention that Afshin has been living in Istanbul for a long time and knows him very well. He told me interesting places that I had never heard of.
The second reason is a convenient location. From home to the Strait of Istanbul(Bosporus) 3 minutes walk. I definitely advise you to visit Galataport (it's also a 3 minute walk from home ). Taksim Square is also a 10-minute walk away. Istiklal street is 2 minutes from the house. The nearest tram station is also a 3 minute walk (even less).
The only thing that can be attributed to a minus is that between the room in which he lived and Afshin's room there is a hole for the window, which is hung with a curtain at night. Also, the room in which I stayed has no door. The owner of the house has a door) For this reason, everyone hears everything that happens in each room. As I wrote before, the owner of the house is quiet and never makes any noise. At least it didn't give me any problems. But if you are not traveling alone( like me) , think about it in advance.
As a result, a good location and an incredibly cool owner of the house made my vacation in Istanbul unforgettable. I wish everyone will stay with Afshin and experience what I have experienced. You may not believe what I wrote, but when you meet this person in person, you will understand what I wrote about.
