We had an amazing time in Istanbul - also due to our great flat which had to book last minute due to a last minute cancellation.
Alexis is a wonderful host - responded almost immediately, even let us stay past the check out time, as our flight was in the evening.
His parents, who are lovely as well, gave us the keys and showed us the flat. I think it´s the tidiest flat I have visited so far via airbnb, and all flats have been great.
The flat looks exactly as on the pictures. I 1000% recommend Alexis and his beautiful flat in Istanbul and would definately stay there again during another visit.
