We really enjoyed staying at Fatih's place. It has everything you need, and it's perfectly located, both to explore the most obvious tourist attractions, but also to get to know Istanbul's incredible night life. It's not quiet outside, with playing kids, wild cats, people with drums walking through the street, unexpected fireworks, etc. - but we really enjoyed this as it makes you feel you're just in the middle of the buzz, instead of some artificial hotel isolation... Fatih was very proactive in terms of making our check in/out smooth, and very helpful with local recommendations. Thumbs up!
