Ibrihim was an exceptional host and I would not hesitate to stay in his place again. He took great care to explain how everything worked. I appreciated having access to a mobile phone and a metropass. He even provided coffee capsules, water and snacks,which was very kind. I left some items in the apartment (and accidentally took some) and he was more than gracious about it all. I absolutely love the location of the apartment and its access to the ferry, the best simit in Istanbul, and some very nice cafes and antique stores. Guests should know that it is on the top floor, so if you have heavy luggage, be prepared to carry it up. The water pressure was nice in the apartment. The beds are comfortable. The neighborhood can be noisy on weekends, so bring earplugs
