Totally recommend! We had a fatastic stay at Farouq's appartement. The flat is perfectly located - very near city centre but in a peaceful, quiet surrounding what's a huge advantage after whole day spent in a crowdy and loud city. Just around the corner you can find markets, groceries and restaurants - it's very convenient as in Instanbul you will climb up and down quite a lot during a day ;) Plus Farouq is a fantastic and very helpful host, he was doing everything to ensure our stay was the best.
