Esen was a fantastic host! He welcomed us into his city and his home, and made us feel instantly like old friends. His apartment is very comfortable, clean, and warm. We absolutely loved the Turkish style breakfast! Esen was very friendly, easy to talk to, and had lots of great recommendations for what to do in Istanbul. He provided us with maps and a metro card, which made it very easy to get around the city from his location. He was also very helpful in finding information about buses and things to do throughout Turkey. We really enjoyed our time with Esen and his awesome cat, Binnaz, in Istanbul and hope to return again some day. We would definitely recommend Esen as an airb&b host!
