We recently had the pleasure of staying at this unit for 45 days. I can not express how wonderful the host are. Family run apartment - they were very responsive for all of our needs including questions about he city and surroundings. The apartment is right across the street from a Metro station. This is an absolute gem. We are going back to Istanbul in March for another 45 days - would be fortunate to be able to stay there again. We sincerely appreciate the host and his family.
