We had a wonderful time. The apartment is really beautiful, and it was immaculate and very comfortable. Dundar is excedingly creative and the apartment shows it. He is truly talented. The living room and dining room are set up so that strangers can meet and relax which was an added benefit. We stayed ten days and met some great folks from many different places during that time.

Dundar was a wonderful host and simply could not have been kinder or more helpful. He helped us a lot getting around Istanbul which was very useful as we had never been there before. and did not speak the language. He also has a wonderful sense of humor which makes any stay so much more enjoyable.

The neighborhood is great. There were a lot of stores of all kinds starting at the corner of his block and also a number of very affordable restaurants, and of course fruit and vegetable stands. Also, there are pastry shops on every block so be prepared.

I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment. If I go back, and I hope to, I would definitely stay there again.
