The home is nice, built quite recently. Ahmet is super nice and his English is probably the best in town. The view from the balcony is great. A gym is within a 5-min walk.
Arnavutköy is a great choice if you need to stay close to the airport (20 min), but if you plan to go to Istanbul center a lot, understand that it’s 1 hr 15 min away by car.
