Probably the best decision you will make about Istanbul is staying in this accommodation hosted by Abdullah, a kind, cool, friendly, and genuinely unassuming human being. Not only was the place welcoming, clean, and a comfortable stay, it was overall a positive experience to stay in this very upbeat and central location, that had an incredible vibe and energy.
As a first time traveller, Abdullah not only helped to better understand what the city had to offer in terms its rich food, history, and cultural experiences, but he also graciously took the time out to show the neighbourhood's good restaurants and places to shop.
