My family and I came to Istanbul during 2019 holiday season. We had very comfortable few-days stay in Chafik's apartment. The apartment was sparkling clean and contained the utensils, washing machine, etc that made us home-comfortable. What was truly outstanding and exceeded our expectations was Chafik's hospitality and care for his guests. He was almost instantly responsive to questions and inquiries about pretty much anything .. transportation, things to do, shopping tips, etc and would not hesitate to provide help that goes beyond accommodation. I highly recommend Chafik and will definitely use his services in the future, should I visit Istanbul again.
