The host: Shahrzad was very friendly and helpful. She was available all the time and provided us with good information about restaurants and tourist attractions. She is a very good host.
The apartment: is placed in an old building with a touch of industrial modern design. It has good light and there are Ac and fans available for warm days. It was very clean.The disadvantage was that it is easy to hear the neigbours and you get the smell of smoking direct inside wven with closed windows.
The area: is very close to Taksim and Osmanbey. There is a good restaurant just 2 min away and many other small stors. The area is crowded and you can hear the motorcycles and people late at nights . Good to have in mind that it is impossible to go up the hill to the apartment when you return from the north side of the city and taxi is very needed in that case.
