Aghid is the man!!! Him and his roommate are incredibly hospitable and friendly, and they were happy to give me recommendations and even show me around Istanbul. The room is way nicer than in the pictures, and the location is absolutely lovely (lots of cafes and antique stores nearby, and also close to Istiklal Street and Taksim Square). I’d be lucky to stay here next time I’m in Istanbul! 10/10!
