Our Istanbul experience was excellent. It was not only because the city itself was great, historical, and beautiful, but Selim and his friend were the awesome hosts! First of all, the place was clean and neat. 6 of us were comfortably fit in 3 bedrooms and the beds were clean, cozy, and comfortable. The location was within walking distance to main Istanbul attractions like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Selim recommended a local restaurant where we enjoyed the first Turkish dish and it was tasty. In our middle of roaming around the city, we met the hosts by coincident by the ferry station and they gave us great tips and directions on how to get around different parts of the Asian side of the city. Their hospitality toward their guests continued with the heart-touching breakfast that they provided (Hard-boiled eggs, toasts, cakes, juices, cheese, jams, butter, olives, tomatoes, cucumber...etc.) in the morning unexpectedly. It made our first morning in Istanbul so much more heartwarming. Also, Selim happily allowed us to leave out bags in the storage room after our check out time since our departure time to the airport was in the late afternoon. Lastly, communication with Selim was easy and fast. With Selim's kindness and hospitality, our stay in Istanbul was a very comfortable, safe, cozy, and happy one. I will return to his place when I revisit Istanbul, and I wholeheartedly recommend this place to all people.
