Ferhat is a great host, he is very friendly and willing to help. He waited for us when we were late for check-in, allowed to use his phone to receive text messages since we didn’t have a Turkish SIM card, and figured out what to do with our baggage that we had to leave in Istanbul for 4 days. In addition, the apartment itself is located very conveniently, it is an easy walk to the embankment or Taksim Square, where buses to the airports depart from. Close to the subway, a lot of attractions, stores, and cafes. All in all, I highly recommend Ferhat as an owner of a very convenient living arrangement in Istanbul and I will consider this option in the first place the next time I visit the city.
