Furkan has a wonderful, cozy apartment in Beyoglu, one minute walk away from Galata Tower. He was a polite and thoughtful host who stayed constantly in touch with us, and also picked us up from the airport. He also offered us to use his tram card, and the apartment was equipped with three umbrellas which came in handy. He warned us before that his apartment was on the 3rd floor with no lift services so we were prepared. The only thing that we found slightly problematic was the low lighting in the dining area otherwise his apartment was lovely.
