We were a group of colleagues stopping Istanbul before heading to a conference in Izmir and Fatih's place was perfect for our needs!!!!
The neighborhood it's situated in is near Galata tower and was probably my favorite area of Istanbul. There was a mix of both tourists in the area and I loved how we weren't being hassled by restauranteurs and/or shop owners like we were in the more touristy areas of Istanbul.
We were really close to everything by either walking, metro, or subway (all very cheap!) Fatih was even kind enough to arrange us a ride to and from the airport at a very reasonable rate!
The place itself was lovely. We had clean bedding, towels and even dishes and cookware in the apartment. The hot water was awesome as well! This place worked very well for our group of 5.
Faith is a very kind host and even took the time to give us a map and tell us where we should go and how we should get there. You should have no reservations staying with Fatih! If I come to visit Istanbul again I would definitely stay at his apartment!!
