My host Sadik and his apartment made me feel like home for a week. Sadik was at home when I arrived and the place was as was described and looked in pictures. What made my stay is outstanding is the hospitality I found in Sadik and his girlfriend. Sadik answered all my questions and gave me some suggestions about where to go and what to do in Istanbul. I was also invited to join a homemade dinner that I enjoyed a lot and made some Turkish friends. I also listened to some good music that Sadik played on a traditional instrument that looks similar to the Arabic Oud or Guitar. In same time, my stay was comfortably quiet and in many times I had whole place for myself for couple days. I certainly enjoyed my first solo visit to Istanbul and I am very thankful to Sadik for making feel like home.
I am going to stay in same place if I visit Istanbul again and I highly recommend it to all others.
