We had a fantastic stay in Istanbul. Alaaddin was a friendly, considerate host - we were greeted with a delicious home cooked meal and he was happy to answer any questions throughout the weekend.

The apartment was clean, spacious and well represented in the photos, and it's central to many bars, restaurants and sights in the lively Beyoglu area.
I would highly recommend a weekend in Istanbul and a stay in Alaaddin's.
