It was my first time in Istanbul and I stayed for almost two weeks. During this time, I stayed in three different places, one hotel and two Airbnb´s. Alex´s place was the best thing that happened in my trip! such a lovely place with a wonderful view! Alex was very helpful and friendly. Advising on what to do where to go etc. The view from the balcony was lovely, the bad very comfortable and the room quite big. So I would highly recommend it if you want to know the island!
