I stayed in Shin's lovely flat with my parents for 6 nights. The flat was really clean, warm and comfy, also very well located. It was nicely decorated, fully equipped, and there are many travel books about Istanbul & Turkey.

I can't thank Shin & Arda enough for their hospitality and responsiveness. Because of an incident my parents arrived earlier in Istanbul. Shin picked them up in the bus station, he refused when my parents wanted to pay the taxi instead he paid for it, and bought them some food for the night. I arrived later after midnight with Shin/Arda's guidance and they made sure I arrived home safely.They also let a friend of mine who were unable to check in at his host place, to stay for the night.

Thank you again for everything Shin & Arda! Hopefully the next time I visit Istanbul you would be willing to host me again.
