Ismail is a wonderful host. I arrived to Istanbul earlier than I expected and he was extremely accommodating. The place was spotless and in a very nice location. His responses were immediate and he was very respectful and courteous. The place itself is great and in the center of a bunch of restaurants and shops. It's also not too far from the airport, which means you don't have to spend much on transportation. Istanbul is massive and beaming with life. Definitely recommend Ismail's place!
