Fatih was incredibly friendly and helpful. The flat was exactly as pictured on airbnb, and was perfect for us. Fatih gave us suggestions on how to get around, and when he found out we planned to indulge in gluttony - a list of good restaurants and food to try.

Also, if you've never been to Istanbul before, I would definitely recommend staying in this general area. Assuming we manage to make it back to Istanbul, we'll definitely be staying here again.
