We stayed during one week in Damir's apartment in August 2012 and we had a wonderful stay. The apartment is really bright, well decorated and looks exactly like the pictures on the airbn site. You can easily reach a metro station (10 mn walk) and be in the center of Istanbul within around 15 mn more. There is a little shop at the entrance of the apartment building and you also have a supermarket in a street nearby. There are a lot of building work sites in the area, but once in the apartment it is very quiet and the view is fantastic ! Damir is a very nice host, very helpful and friendly. We will definitely recommend this apartment to other travelers.
