Really enjoyed staying in Tolga's place. He met us at the flat and made us feel welcome. He was able to book us a very good table at a rooftop bar that he works at which was really kind of him.
The flat is small but has everything you need. In a lovely area of Istanbul! As mentioned in previous reviews, there are great cafes, restaurants and bars near by.
Nice quiet side street, however, the flat below was having work done and the workmen started at about 8-8.30 every morning. It didn't have an impact on us too much as we spent most of the day out sight seeing. Very narrow space to get up to the flat because they've put furniture in the hallway. I'm n sure how long the work is going on for.
Overall, I would recommend this flat and location to people.
