Alper is a kind and attentive host who warmly greeted us in his immaculate home which is a period conversion that is tastefully decorated. We felt extremely comfortable and safe. The location in delightful Arnavutkoy is just a few minutes from the Bosphorus where one can take a daily stroll or jog along the promenade whilst taking in many stunning views of Istanbul. There are numerous coffee shops, eateries, grocery stores etc on the doorstep! We certainly plan to return!
