Ahmed was very helpful and professional, he responded to all my needs and requests. I got nice instructions on how to reach the apartment. We set up a checking in hour and he was just there waiting to help me with my luggage.
His place was cute and central, close to many worth-visiting attractions in Istanbul, just 7 to 10 minutes on foot to Taksim square, just one block from the main street where you can find everything, from good restaurants , to grocery stores and shops.
My room was small, suitable to my budget, but I only stayed in my room when I had to work, the whole time I was talking with the flatmates in the living room up or down stairs.
I just felt home as I am a solo traveller and it was easy to make new friends.
I highly recommend his place :)
