I would definitely recommend this flat. We did not meet Aslinaz, but we were welcomed by her brother and father, and they were friendly and gave us a thorough orientation.

The place is spacious - you can have a cozy breakfast in the kitchen, in the family room, or on the balcony (which you will want to do!). The location is perfect - it is 1 block from Istiklal Rd., so you are right where all the action is, and close to a variety of tasty dining options. There are clubs nearby that keep the music pumping late, but we didn't feel like the noise was excessive - the windows in the flat are thick and filter out most of the sound outside. Overall - book this flat for the location and the charm!
