I highly recommend to stay in Esen's house for your trip in Istanbul.

Esen is a very kind person, so open-minded and helpful. Besides, he cook incredible Turkish breakfast to enjoy with him and Binazz (his lovely cat). He will recommend you the most interesting places to visit, not only in the Old Town but also in the Modern Istanbul. Besides, he will provide you with a Public Transport Card to move around Istanbul in the cheapest and fastest way.

The flat is located in a wonderful neighbourhood, very quite and modern and really close to the City Centre. It is located really close to Taksim Sq and arriving to the Old City only takes you about 10 minutes by public transport. Around the flat you will find restaurants, shops, bars and whatever you need.

The room where I stayed was amazing, better than a five star hotel: spacious, clean, well illuminated and quite. The rest of the flat is also really clean because Esen is really tidy. You can enjoy good conversations with Esen or stay in the room reading, listening music or reading by yourself.

Don't hesitate to be hosted by Esen in your trip in Istanbul!!! I can't imagine a better place to stay a days there.

Thank you for everything Esen!!!
