Fatih is a perfect host.
The apartment is awesome for 2 people and the location is excellent. Istiklal is 2 minutes away, and walking to Hagia Sophia takes only 30-40 minutes with lots to see on the way (taking the tram is simple and only 5 minutes away also). After spending 10 days in Istanbul I'm convinced that the apt is in an ideal location. Only good things to say all the way around. Would stay again for sure.
