Fatih is an excellent host. He was there to meet us even though we arrived late, and was always responsive and helpful. He showed us some places to get the best local eats, and even purchased a new router for the flat, improving the internet immensely (it is now very fast and stable). Thanks, Fatih!

The apartment is a clean, spacious studio with a washing machine, small kitchenette, and a sunny little nook. The apartment very well-located, just a block from Istiklal street, the main shopping street leading to Taksim square, and from the metro and funicular as well. Despite this, the neighbourhood is very quiet. There are many independent shops and cafes nearby.
