Garen’s flat is in an ideal location in central Istanbul within a 7minute walking distance to the historic istiklal street. Also the many historical attractions like the Galata tower, Grand bazaar, Blue Mosque are very easily accessible. The flat itself is well maintained and self contained. Garen is a very helpful and hands on host helped us by arranging Airport transfers and also giving us a lot of local information. Overall, our stay at his flat was comfortable and pleasant.
