Eren's place was great and Eren himself was amazing. He was so warm and hospitable, it felt like visiting an old friend or family. We arrived very late and he was available to greet us and help with our baggage. We had an infant with us and he had arranged for a baby high chair and baby-cot/crib. He ensured there is enough supplies, water, coffee, tea, toiletries. He had provided us with a manual for his home and town which was so spot on, it had everything one would need. He was a message away to ask about the city, things to do, directions and we bothered him with so many things, yet he was very nice and didn't mind at all. Not only was he and his apartment charming, but the street we lived on felt like "the real Istanbul". Full of little cafes, antique shops and even other things we didn't have the time to explore, it felt like a lovely secret get-away. We really liked Istanbul and will return again to stay at his apartment.
