Ersin is a wonderful host — we stayed at his home for a month and it was a perfect home! He has an amazing garden, which has many cute cats, and his home is very cozy and enjoyable to stay in. The area is a walking distance from some of the best attractions in Istanbul as well (and the neighborhood is quiet). He provided everything we needed and the kitchen and living space is simply amazing, with many plants and great lighting. The patio can be used for very romantic dinners. We felt right at home here.
As a host, he is responsive and one of the friendliest people I’ve met. Any time we needed his assistance, he was there promptly and managed to provide a fix. We will be more than happy to stay at his home upon another visit to Istanbul.
