Faruks flat is very well located. It is near the ferry station from which you can go easily to the asian part of istanbul. Other places to see are also nearby and in walking distance, like the Galata tower.
Faruk is very friendly, he prepared our arrival with drinks like water, fanta and beer. The communication with him was also super easy and he helped us directly when the warm water wasn‘t working properly.
The includes breakfast was by far the best during our stay. The short walk to the restaurant was perfect to wake up and the breakfast offer was more than enough to be satisfied for a long time. We had a really good turkish breakfast there and we were thankful for that easy option.
I would recommend Faruks place warmly.
