Ilhan was the perfect host. He was waiting for us when we arrived and explained us everything we needed to know about where to go in Istanbul. He was very helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend staying at his place; it's a beautiful house with the best view in the world. It's located very close to Taxim square and for that reason a very good starting point to explore Istanbul. If I ever go back to Istanbul I honestly hope to stay at his place again.
