We stayed at Isik’s flat for 5 nights. The location was amazing- so close to Taksim Square and İstiklal shopping street.
The area is safe and there are great cafes and food stalls. Eating out in Istanbul is lovely.
The side streets to İstiklal offer great music and clubs and we ended up going to the clubs most nights.
Isik was responsive every time we needed his advice. Great host and next time I visit Istanbul I will hope the flat is available.
Thanks....
