Fatih was a terrific host. The apartment was exactly as described and in a great part of Istanbul that was convient to everything you'd want to see on the European side of the city. Along with a walkabout through the surrounding neighborhood, he gave us some fantastic recommendations on certain less touristy sights to see and a couple great places to eat. In addition, Fatih was incredibly accommodating when it turned out we needed to stay an extra night. I wholeheartedly suggest staying in one of very nice and very reasonable flats if you get the chance.
