Can has been super friendly sine the beginning, he stayed up until 2.00am for me to arrive from the airport. The room was very clean with A/C, bathroom with shower and toilet, free shampoo + shower gel. Internet worked very properly, the price was more than adequate. I highly recommend Can as well as his rooms and the city. Can gave me a lot of good advices for the city

Hey people, my trip to Istanbul was from Aug 1st to Aug 8th 2016, (right after the "coup" attempt and months after some bombing) and frankly, whatever people say you DO feel SAFE in this city. I'm from the Paris area (France) and sincerely I'm more scared to walk in MY streets than in Istanbul's.
The place definitely deserves a long look at, and during these times of absence of tourism, locals take more time to chit chat with you and the deals are definitely better wen you go shopping.

GO TO ISTANBUL!
