Ahmet was a fantastic host! Courteous and always makes sure to check in if I needed anything. He was kind enough to welcome me with some really good apples as a gift from his beautiful garden. His house is clean, modest and neat. If you want to be in the hub of Istanbul and just wanna be part of a community teeming with life then this is for you. It's also very secure and you can enjoy your privacy. I can recommend this place to anyone. It's also very affordable considering that you won't lack anything.
