Yavuz is an incredible host with a warm and friendly personality :-) I had such a wonderful stay at his well-decorated and cosy apartment. It's positioned on a sloped street just off the main road. It's located 10 minutes by taxi from Taksim and was within walking distance to the metrobus and metro station. I found the bed to be very comfortable and the shower was conveniently next door.
Yavuz happened to be away and was not able to check me in, but he made arrangements with his best friend, Utkan, to help with the check-in process. Everything was a breeze! Upon check out, Yavuz kindly invited me to join him and Utkan for a lovely dessert - it was lovely interacting with them and I wish I could've stayed for longer :-) thank you for the enjoyable stay Yavuz!
