Amazing place and an amazing host! The apartment is virtually in the middle of the nicest area of Istanbul ( in my humble opinion ).
The sea is a short stroll away, cafés, pubs and restaurants all over the neighbourhood. Communication links a few minutes away ( including the metro station and a ferry to get to the European side of the city ). While being in a very lively place - the flat and the room especially are surprisingly quiet ( the room faces the inside of the building ). So your rest will not be interrupted.
Orhan is a genuinely friendly person. The sort of person you want to meet while travelling around the world. Respectful and reliable. Eager to share stories and talk about the local culture and logistics of squeezing the most out of the adventure. Çok güzel.
