The apartment is just exactly as per pictured and described in the posting. The location is very close to the famous Istiklal street, Galata Tower and Taksim Square. It is also very easy to deal with the owner. I really enjoyed my stay in Istanbul and will definetely come back to this place. The owner is responsive and accomodating. All in all, i enjoyed staying here and I would like to thank the owner on his hospitality!!
