The first thing I have to say is that Okan is a true gentleman. I had mistakingly left my left my tuxedo and suit at his place and he was so kind to ship them out to me immediately the next morning without charging me extra.
My family and I came to Istanbul for a wedding and we had a hard time deciding which Airbnb to choose. We came across Okan's place and we decided to book it. When we arrived to Istanbul Okan was very helpful about directions to his place. He spoke English fluently and always responded immediately which was a big plus. There was plenty of parking space outside and underground. The apartment was roomy with plenty of space to hang clothes and store things. Being tired on arrival, anywhere I go I always hope the showers are good and I must say these showers were absolutely wonderful! (Strong pressure and constant temperature.) Plenty of towels and toiletry. The beds were comfy and clean. The area was very safe, even late at night. The grocery store downstairs had everything we needed. I also enjoyed the gym because it wasn't crowded. This was the first time I had booked a place away from the city center and I'm very glad I did. I felt much better staying in a quiet and safe area and just driving to the center. There is a new shopping mall that's near called Vadistanbul which is very nice and classy. Overall it was a great value staying at Okan's place. When I come back to Istanbul I will definitely book this place again and I also strongly recommend for anyone else visiting Istanbul. Cheers!
