Kaan is a very nice and kind host. It was my parents who stayed at his place. who had no experience with AirBNB before and he was very helpful for them. I really appreciate his kindness. The house is super close to the American consulate, which makes it a great place for people who might have an early-morning appointment for the consulate. The neighborhood is pretty but there are a lot of hills :) (which is the case for many places in Istanbul) so be ready to do some walking exercise.
