We had a great stay at Taylan's place in Istanbul. It's in a great location, close enough to the action to be convenient, and far enough that it's still quiet at night. The rooftop terrace has a great view of the city, and I love the hammock. Taylan has great communication and always responded quickly, as well as giving us very clear instructions for check-in, setting the security, etc. I would definitely recommend staying here. The main downside is having to walk up 7 flights of stairs every time. But if you're walking around Istanbul, you'll have to climb much more than just those stairs anyways. I just saw it as an extra workout 😉
