Senol is such a generous and kind host. I was in Istanbul for three days with my brother on our way to Pakistan. We loved it at his place. His apartment was nice, clean and easily accessible. If you are coming from Istanbul Airport, its at 5 mins walk from IETT bus station. Room was far far better than i had imagined. Close to bus stations connecting to whole Istanbul. I choose the room because it was cheap but was surprised after seeing the room. Standard was matching the rooms far more expensive. He was accommodative with check in and out. Food is cheap in apartment surroundings. I have promised him whenever we are coming to Istanbul again, we will surely stay with him.
Highly recommended.
