Fatih is a great host and a really kind person who helps any time with all kinds of little problems you might have during your vacation. His house is beautifully renovated and has the Charme we were looking for in Istanbul. The rooms are clean and have wooden ceilings. Also, you are in the middle of the lively neighborhood of Karakoy and can walk to all the bars and nice restaurants in 5 minutes. The only thing some people might bother is the street next to the building and that it is quite loud. But we did not mind because we were out exploring the city the whole day anyways. Light sleepers should bring earplugs. All in all a great stay for a very good price and it was nice to meet Fatih.
