Akif was a active and sincere host. Since we were arriving late, he picked up my girlfriend who arrived Istanbul first from the subway. The restaurants were great and good way to experience local culture.
The flat is lovely and cozy even for 5 people to stay. We enjoyed our breakfast at the terrance which has very nice view of Istanbul. The location is very nice. Many attractions are within walkable distance. Definitely a good choice if you are visiting Istanbul.
