We enjoyed our stay in Istanbul tremendously and even returned for a couple of extra days. Fatih was very helpful and greeted us us upon arrival. He responded quickly via email with suggestions for great little restaurant recommendations, points of interests, etc. The studio apartment is located in a perfect location for exploring the city. We walked to all major sites and to the neighborhoods around Galata Tower and Istiklal Street. There great little interesting areas to explore that feature many cafes, restaurants, antiques and 50's second hand stores, etc. We would definitely highly recommend staying in one of Fatih's studio's.
