Ilhan was a great host and his penthouse in Istanbul was amazing! This Airbnb stay was excellent from start to finish. I called him when we arrived in Istanbul and he talked to our taxi driver over the phone to explain how to get to his place. He met us outside to let us in. He showed us around the apartment and was very friendly.

The apartment was very spacious and pleasantly decorated. The view is gorgeous! Short walk uphill to Taksim and a short walk downhill to the nearest tram stop (Findikli). This is how airbnb is supposed to work. Perfect.
