We had a lovely stay at Dundar's place to enjoy the amazing Istanbul!.

All communication with Dundar was very prompt & clear, and he was very helpful in sharing any directions and info to reach his place. The arrival was all smooth and seamless.

His apartment is beautiful with a little of an old building charm combined with a minimalistic contemporary design touch. Enough privacy within your room, while the same time a lovely open living room and kitchen to interact with guests occupying other rooms and Dundar himself.

Dundar is a great guy to have conversations with and is kind to help out in any way to make the stay and experience in Istanbul a good one.. He also helped out with our Intercity bus ticket bookings online, which as non-Turkish citizens wasn't possible for us otherwise, which is very kind of him.

The location is a good one. Its in the Taksim area - about a 10 -12 mins walk to the main sqaure and the buzzing Istikal street, though on the way to the apartment, a bus or a taxi can be considered, factoring in the steep uphill slope leading to the building - both options which are very convenient and fairly affordable for the short distance. We even walked it backed one of the days.. was a good work out :)

Overall, i recommend the stay here for a multiple reasons, and more so for the ease of staying here, which feels like a home away from home mainly because of the ease that Dundar brings to the stay.

Thank you Dundar.. :)
