The host Akif was very helpful when we had questions or troubles and offered local tips, which was nice! The flat is located in the very center of Istanbul, which is convenient for commuting but very crowded. Be aware that two bedrooms are interconnected, and the 3rd bedroom is connected with a kitchen. So there isn’t any privacy really. Unfortunately the kitchen doesn’t have a microwave and is overall very tiny. This is a good place to stay for the weekend or a few days but if you’re staying for longer, this is probably not the best option. But thanks Akif for the hospitality!
