Burak was a great host.
He greeted me with his girlfriend and some friends of his. Not only chatting with the hosts is fun even their friends are funny to catch with, too.
The room was fine and everything matches the description. If you want a plain room just to sleep for a great cost-benefit ratio you are at the right place. As Moda is a more private place, you have to go to the European side for more exploration opportunities. But do not be scared GMaps is your friend.
Th best part in the flat was Puffy and Pamuk the two cats, which are your psychologists after a long day in the rumble of Istanbul.
