My son and I stayed in Yasar's flat for one month. The location was excellent -- close to many cafés and restaurants, easy walking distance to public transportation and to many sites, close to Taksim Square but on a fairly quiet side street.The flat is spacious and comfortable, very good for relaxing after a day of sightseeing or a night out. Yasar was helpful and responded quickly whenever we had a question.

The flat is on the third floor and the steps are difficult, so it may not be suitable for elderly people or families with very small children. There is no washing machine but there is a laundry service in the building next door. There is a café on the ground floor for tea and Turkish coffee.
