It's a pleasant, clean, and modern apartment to stay in which is very close to the metro station, Istiklal street, and not too far from the ferry and tram either. Cenk is an attentive host who responds quickly and makes sure to fulfill the needs of his guest. I even saw him welcoming and helping other guests too. The apartment is great and has everything you need. The location is great for tourists or people who are staying long term. I was staying long term and working online from the apartment. Cenk made sure the internet worked well for me as I had regular video calls, and everything went very smoothly. It's a comfortable and cozy apartment to stay in. The living room/kitchen is 2 floors above ground level, and the bedroom is slightly above ground level. There are roll-down curtains for privacy, and many windows for air circulation. The water is nice and warm, and you can set the internal heating temperature according to your needs, it was never cold. I didn't stay until the summer, but with all the windows, you could catch a nice breeze. The neighbourhood is fairly calm, in the evenings/at night you may hear a little bit of music from a club in the distance, but not enough to be a problem. There are some pots and pans for cooking and dishes for eating. The bed is comfortable and large, and the bedding provided by Cenk was very clean and comfortable. There are outlets beside each side of the bed along with end tables to charge your phone and keep your belongings. The building is safe. For any needs there are small markets less than a minute away, and for larger needs there are more which are also close by. Great place to stay. I definitely recommend.
