Engin was a really nice host. We had an unexpected cancellation with another place in the day we ended at Engin's flat, so when we booked its flat, we called him to ask if we could do the check-in right away. We received us when we arrived at his door, gave us tea and was extremely friendly. Its flat is really great for a couple, with all the commodities to cook and do the laundry) and it is in a nice location, with a bakery and a market in the street and in a walking distance from Galata Tour and Taksim. Great stay, highly recommended!
