Book this place! Dilek is a lovely warm host whose communication was very good even before booking. She greeted us personally at the apartment although we were very late on arrival. The apartment is in THE IDEAL location - close enough to walk everywhere you’d want to go and super close to transport hubs when you want to take it a bit easier. We were there in winter and found the place super warm, cosy and a great place to feel at home and recover after a full day of sight seeing. There are many restaurants and cafes within easy reach - some JUST OUTSIDE THE DOOR (do try Avlu just up the street - amazing food at good prices) the steep cobbled street outside the house added to its charm. Can’t recommend this highly enough and if we come back to Istanbul we know where we’ll be staying!
