We stayed around 5 months in volkans flat and it was simply amazing!
The flat is perfectly located to explore all places of Istanbul. The city is quite big so we were happy to have metro, taxis and many buses in all direction exactly next to us.
The flat has big spacious rooms, a beautiful livingroom and a great view to the skyline of the city. We enjoyed on the big balcony the nights and sunsets as much as possible. Also volkan is a great host and helped us anytime we needed him. When I come back to Istanbul I will rent that flat again. Compared to all other Erasmus students we were with , we had the best flat with the best location. And when you move around in Istanbul its all about the location to avoid hours of traveling. Also there are many tasty restaurants around, where you can try authentic Turkish foods. It was An amazing time in Istanbul and we felt very comfortable at home.
