Selçuk helped me prepare my visit to Istanbul. He met me outside the nearest metro station from his place so that I won't struggle finding his place. He even prepared me dinner and showed me a short cut to the theater where I was going that evening.
His apartment is located in a quiet residential area but at a walking distance from all public transports, shops and other commodities.
Overall my stay was great. Selçuk is a very nice and helpful host. I would highly recommend staying at his place.
