randomly found Ayyash's listing on this platform and so happy that I did! although my booking was very last minute, he did his best to approve my stay and relayed clear instructions on how to get there, and even shared an itinerary of fun places to visit nearby. the apartment is in perfect location (attractions/transport/cost/surrounding -wise), and the room gives You privacy while overlooking beautiful rooftops of Istanbul. although a shared flat, the host and his flatmates made me feel right at home. the house cat is what made my stay so much more wonderful too - if You like animals, that is one more reason to choose this place.
