Erin is one of the most professional, courteous &responsive hosts, that I have ever encountered; his flat is awesome; fantastic view of Bosphorous strait; flat is ultra clean & nicely organized; the location, being in heart of Cihangir area of Istanbul, is close [within walking distances] to art studios/shops, cool neighborhood restaurants & cafes; you are within 10-12 minutes walk to metro line & tram stations. Erin's place is the MOST VALUE for money in Istanbul. Safe travels.
