Firat is an excellent host who responds within minutes and is a very kind and caring person. He helped me carry all my suitcases and ordered me a taxi and waited for it with me so he can help me load my stuff. The location of place is also within minutes walk to everything! Istiklal street is 6 minutes by foot, the Tophane tram station is 2 minutes ways by foot! You can get to all the famous sites very easily! There are plenty of places for groceries steps away with reasonable prices!
