Gufran is an amazing host! He was really flexible with check-in and helpful whenever we need something. He suggested great restaurants and locations to visit. The flat is really close to ferry station if you want to visit touristic/historical areas. The area is cozy, calm and friendly. Unlike historical areas it is not crowded and noisy. The flat is central for markets, shops and restaurants. It is 5 minutes walk to go to seaside as well. The flat was clean and well organized. Gufran’s friendly chat and advices made our trip in this area worth it for sure! I recommend this area and definitely his flat for a visit in Istanbul instead of staying around touristic area.
