We had a great stay at Firat's place. It is nicely decorated and well laid out, and the location is amazing for visiting Istanbul, it was so easy to get to all parts of the city from there and the neighborhood itself is interesting and fun and full of yummy snacks and cute shops. Firat was very welcoming and friendly and extremely quick to respond and react to everything, even letting us stay another night at short notice. The kitchen equipment was pretty basic but I'm sure the assortment will grow over time.
