Tuğkan's apartment is a rare find - this is not the regular bare-bones place with a bed, couch and a kettle. This is a fully equipped apartment where you feel at home and you don't miss anything. The apartment is clean, cozy and warm, in a fresh new building situated in a very nice neighborhood where parking on the street is free. The kitchen is fully equipped, but if you are not a cook - this neighborhood has all kinds of restaurants and takeout places within minutes. The bedrooms are comfortable with enough storage and the living room is focused onto a huge TV (with Netflix and YouTube so you don't need to bring your Chromecast or Fire stick). And I've never had faster Internet in an Airbnb place, really!
As for the host, Tuğkan was awesome - welcoming, extremely responsive and responsible - from the moment we arrived he helped us with every request that we had and was available at all times. I definitely recommend his place if you are planning on visiting Istanbul.
