This was the first time my parents had gone to Istanbul. Engin replies to your request within 24 hours. Engin's apartment was very cozy, and it is exactly as the pictures. The location was perfect and minutes away from everything. My parents had felt very welcomed. Engin met them at his apartment, he was very nice. Engin and his friend were very kind to take them back to the airport. He was very helpful and easily reached. His house is something they have not only recommended but would definitely return for a second time.
