Our stay at Faruk's apartment was a great one and a lovely way to end our trip to Türkiye. Faruk was incredibly responsive and very kind and patient in answering our questions. He also helped organize for transportation to the Istanbul airport at a very early time in the day, which was much appreciated. The apartment itself was very clean and spacious. It was located in what came to be our favourite area of Istanbul. Best restaurants, cafes, shopping, hammam spa, etc. all with in walking distance and a much cooler vibe than staying in the more touristy area across the Bospherous (Sultanahmet area). Would definitely stay again!
