We've been on a weekend trip in Istanbul with 3 of my friends. Amir is the most incredible host ever. He was so kind and helpful. Thanks to him our short visit in Istanbul was much better, relaxing and peaceful. The place is really clean and actually smells very nice (special thanks to the outstanding Ali for his cleaning skills!); They offer towels, hair dryer, iron, liquid soap, bath slippers which are handy stuff and save from your luggage, there is so much space therefore room for more people. It's located in a very quiet road, on a walking distance from Taksim, the main square where the transport is easy, the streets are full of life and everything is close to you. I totally recommend that place. They totally give you more than you pay for! :)
