I stayed at Ekrem’s place with friends and had the best experience. The apartment was located in a very nice district of Istanbul, Cihangir. There were so many nice places around. The view from the apartment was amazing (scenic view of the Bosphorus bridge), only expensive bars have such a view. The place was artistically decorated and had everything we need during our stay. We loved the small details like the telescope and art works on the wall. Ekrem was a great host, very welcoming and accommodating. We will definitely come back.
