Fatih is a gracious host; he met us at the apartment, helped us with our bags, held the baby while we got organized, made us coffee, and helped with ideas for where to explore in Istanbul, since it wasn't our first visit. He also arranged a van pick-up to and from the airport, which was a huge help for our group, which included two small kids. The apartment itself is perfectly situated, just down the street from Galata tower, a short walk from the tram, and surrounded by great places to eat or to have a coffee. The only drawback s a bit of noise from the upstairs neighbors, but it didn't prevent anyone in our crew from sleeping/napping! Fatih's place is a great choice.
