As advertised, the flat was clean, well-equipped (even has a washing machine!), and a very easy walk to busy Istiklal. Everything you need is on the street, including a bakery, grocery store, and a lovely wet market on Sundays. We traveled with our toddler and Erdal provided a spotless travel crib for her to sleep in. Seyma, Erdal's niece, was immensely helpful and always available, even on Sundays. Our only complaint was that the building was incredibly noisy. The street, being centrally located, gets a lot of traffic until the wee hours, and if you're a light sleeper, this is an issue. Also, some of the rentals had very large families staying in them which meant a lot of noise late into the night. Other than that, for the price, this is a great place to stay.
