Orcun is a lovely host. He came home to welcome me in the middle of the day, even though he had to leave work for couple hours to let me in. The apartment is very clean and well kept. Orcun respects your space and gives you privacy. At the same time, he is around if you need help and checks on you from time to time to see if you are comfortable. Besiktas where the apartment is located, is away from the touristy part of Istanbul, yet is bustling with life, small bars and eating joints. I had a very comfortable stay at Orcun's and would recommend his place to other air bnb users.
