Emir was a very helpful and responsive host. He helped set up transport to and from the airport and answered any questions we had right away. The apartment itself was spacious and cozy, but a few things need to be updated. The location of the apartment could not be better with shops and restaurants directly under. We never ran out of things to do and see. Overall, Emir was a great and helpful host. I would definitely stay here again when I’m in Istanbul.
