Deniz was a great host. He welcomed me with an infused fruit flavored tea which was so refreshing. The room was comfort with very nice view. His flat is really close to Taksim Square. It was in the 4th floor of the building. He gave me some local tips, including the things to do during my visit in Istanbul (including some off-beaten place such get away to the island nearby) and some suggestion regarding what to eat. Thank you for being such a great host Deniz.
