Dundar is a delightful and friendly host, and his flat is just as pictured - it's a spacious and social place in a non-touristic part of town. I enjoyed meeting and chatting with some of my fellow guests over the time I was there, which was really useful in comparing notes about where to go in Istanbul. The bed was really comfortable, and it was a nice place to come back to after a long day walking. We shared a few drinks and a meal and much conversation, which is what makes airbnb better than hotels, especially for the solo traveler!
