Well, first off Fatih is the most responsive host I've dealt with... he always gets back to you right away. Having never been to Istanbul, I didn't know much about the areas. Also, I was traveling alone as a woman... so I was completely delighted to see the place and it's location. It's absolutely perfect. For me, having stayed there a month and having gotten to know a lot more about Istanbul, I couldn't have chosen a better location. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. Fatih will take care of everything you need. Don't hesitate(!), this is the place you want to be!
