I have been staying here for four months, so I have a broad experience of what it's like to live here. The flat was perfect for me. It is light-filled and airy - clean and efficiently arranged. It has been great to have a hanging closet (uncommon in many flats) and a large desk - also rare in my experience as a frequent renter of airbnb flats. The WIFI always worked and it is nice to have the TV, with several English channels, when I wanted to relax or catch up on the news.

The location is very convenient to public transport and is short walking distances to restaurants, coffee houses and grocery stores.

The neighborhood is one of the most interesting and charming in Istanbul - historic, but not run-down and with just enough of the new to make it easy to take care of practical matters, like buying phone minutes and haircuts.

And the best of all is the host, Fatih. He is friendly, attentive helpful and highly competent. If there is a problem, he responds to texts or phone calls promptly and the issue is solved quickly.
If you are new to the city or area, he will provide all the information necessary to make your stay easier and more pleasant.

I, without hesitation, give this flat and host, Fatih, my highest recommendation. It has been a joy to stay here!
