Akif's place in Istanbul was incredible! The place was well equipped for three people, had an amazing balcony, and had amenities that were more than adequate for a comfortable stay. The view from the roof was AMAZING and the location was central to all the tourist attractions and walking distance from ferry's and transportation. Akif went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of and knew where to eat, what to do, and how to navigate our way around the city. I consider him a friend after just a few short meeting and appreciate his hospitality more than words can describe. I would recommend this place to anybody that is visiting Istanbul. I hope to visit this amazing city again soon and I will look no farther than this air BNB.
