Akin was a great host. We actually never met him in person, but he was always open to conversation, it was all so easy!
Akins apartment is great, it’s cozy, it’s fully equipped and we actually felt like it was our turkish home. The Taksim is right about the corner and you can reach the metro, busses and dolmus. Also the busses to the airports a around the corner. Akins apartment is a bit hidden, which makes it quiet at night. We slept very well! Everthing you need is also around the corner. The shops are opened nearly 24/7.
We fully recommend Akin and his apartment! Greetings!
