Ferhan was a fantastic host! It is perfectly located in the bustling district of Kadikoy, which is a fantastic neighborhood in Istanbul - 10 min walk to all the attractions of the neighborhood (shops, restaurants, bars) as well as the ferry to cross the Bosphorus. The place is really nice - ample space for a couple or 3 people, and very comfortable, quiet, clean and homey. Ferhan was also very helpful and flexible re: check in/out times, as well as even organizing a taxi to get to the airport. I would wholeheartedly recommend staying at his place.
