Our overall experience staying at Fatih's place was not good due to constant noise coming from the apartment above in the middle of the night. Even the use of earplugs did not help. Based on that experience I would not recommend staying at the place. That said, the apartment was very clean and well taken care of. The location is great to experience everyday life and at the same time be close to the major tourist attractions. The host, Fatih, was gracious and welcoming (even waited for us running late from the airport). Additionally, he provided great restaurants recommendations and trip planning tips.
