I stayed at Furkan's place with my two friends and from start to finish the experience was amazing!
Furkan was able to provide us with airport transfer - we were picked up just when we arrived and dropped back to the airport in plenty of time for our flight. This made check-in and check out a breeze.
When we arrived, the place was exactly as advertised/pictured. The roof terrace, sitting room, and main bedroom had the most fantastic views. The beds in both rooms were incredibly comfortable (honestly it's a wonder we were able to get up and enjoy Istanbul at all - and that saying something considering how amazing the city is!). The bathroom was spotless and the shower was lovely, water was hot at all times and the pressure was great too. Essentials were provided and plentiful. The kitchen was fit for purpose. Furkan was kind enough to have a bottle of wine chilling for us and also provided bottled water and some snacks.
The location of Furkan's place was ideal for our trip. Situated in a very cool less touristy area within walking distance of some really trendy restaurants, bars and of course the beautiful Galata tower which guided us home each night. It was a great base for exploring Istanbul and despite the fantastic location, it was very quiet allowing for a great sleep after long days spent adventuring in the city.
Furkan was readily available throughout our stay with tips and communication was a breeze. We are looking forward to returning to Istanbul and Furkan's place will be at the top of our list when we do and in the meantime, we will be recommending him to all of our friends and family. Thanks a million once again Furkan for everything!
