Eyüp is by far the best host that I have ever stayed with. He was so accommodating with everything we needed, including making sure our luggage was safe for our very late flight out at 2AM. This allowed us to still enjoy our last day. He is extremely knowledgeable on the area and on Istanbul as a whole and will give you endless recommendations so you are never searching for something to do. When we needed him, he would reply either instantly or in a few minutes. Not to mention the apartment is as central as can be with a spectacular view of the famous Galata Tower. I cannot say enough good things about this host and his apartment. Stay here!!!
