the apartment fit all my needs and was as described/shown. i was happy that the apartment was centrally located so it made traveling around quick and easy, whether i wanted to walk around or take public transport. also, because of its proximity, there were quite a few places to grab a bite to eat or go for groceries nearby, which was a plus.
i also appreciated kaan and nalan periodically checking in with me to see how things were going or if i needed anything which made it a great help.
overall, the apartment was great for a first-timer in istanbul.
